Interfering expression of MSX2 gene suppresses epithelial-mesenchymal transitions in pancreatic cancer PANC-1 cells
Objective To investigate the influence of interfering MSX2 on epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) of pancreatic cancer PANC-1 cells with high metastatic ability
strong drug resistance and strong mesenchymal characteristics. Methods MSX2 shRNA was used to transfect PANC-1 cells with Lipofectamine 2000. Real-time RT-PCR and Western blotting were used to observe the MSX2
E-cadherin
and vimentin expression on gene and protein levels. CCK-8 assay was applied to assess the influence of MSX2 shRNA on cell growth. Cell invasion and metastasis capability was detected by wound scratch assay and Transwell assay. The expression of EMT-related transcription factors
twist snail
slug
and zeb1
was detected by RT-PCR. Results MSX2-specific shRNA reduced invasion
metastasis and proliferation of PANC-1 cells (P0.05)
and increased E-cadherin expression and decreased vimentin expression on gene and protein levels. MSX2 down-regulated cells changed morphology to cobblestone-like appearance
and got much more closely connected. RT-PCR found that the expression of twist and snail decreased (P0.05)
while that of slug and zeb1 had no difference (P0.05) after interference of MSX2. Conclusion Down-regulation of MSX2 can reverse EMT
induce MET
and reduce invasion
metastasis and proliferation of PANC1 cells
which may involves transcription factor twist and snail.
