Effect of CXCR4/SDF-1 on proliferation and migration of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell lines
Objective To detect the expression of chemokine receptors 4 (CXCR4) in human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell lines (NPC cells) and explore the role of CXCR4/stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) axis in the proliferation and migration of tumor cell. Methods The expression of CXCR4 protein in NPC cell lines 5-8F (with high tumogenicity and metastasis) and 6-10B (having tumogenicity but no metastasis) was measured by Western blot analysis. After the addition of SDF-1 and CXCR4 blocker
AMD3100
the changes of cell growth were observed by MTT. The changes of cell migration were measured by Transwell. Results Western blotting showed that 5-8F cells expressed higher CXCR4 levels than 6-10B cells. The growth rate and the number of migration cells in 5-8F cells was increased after SDF-1 treatment
and significantly decreased after the addition of AMD3100. However
6-10B cells had no response to SDF-1. Conclusion CXCR4/SDF-1 axis may play an important role in NPC cells proliferation and migration
and CXCR4 blocker can efficiently suppress this effect.
