Role JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway in invasion and vascular mimicry of liver cancer cells
Objective To determine the role of JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway in invasion and vascular mimicry of liver cancer cell line QGY-7701. Methods After QGY-7701 cells were treated with 5 and 10 μmol/L AG490 (the inhibitor of JAK2) for 48 h
the invasion and tube formation of tumor cells were tested with Transwell chamber test and vascular mimicry experiment. RT-PCR was used to measure the expression of Twist1 and MMP-2
and Western blot assay was employed to determine the expression of p-STAT3
STAT3
Twist1 and MMP-2. Results Compared to control group
there were less tumor cells permeating membrane and less formed tubes after AG490 treatment. RT-PCR showed that the expression of Twist1 and MMP-2 at mRNA level were decreased. Western blotting indicated that the expression of p-STAT3
Twist1
MMP-2 at protein levels were also decreased (P0.05)
while that of STAT3 protein had no difference among each group (P0.05). Conclusion AG490 significantly inhibits invasion and vascular mimicry of liver cancer cells in vitro
and JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway promotes above processes.
