Study on the mechanism of NDC80 in regulating proliferation, migration, and invasion of cervical cancer cells
To investigate the expression of NDC80 in cervical cancer and its mechanism in regulating the proliferation, migration, and invasion of cervical cancer cells.
Methods
2
The NDC80 expression in cervical cancer and other multiple tumors was analyzed using the GEPIA database.Cancer tissues were collected from 80 cervical cancer patients who underwent surgical resection at the Third Hospital of Shanxi Medical University, along with normal cervical tissues from 80 patients with uterine leiomyoma who underwent surgical resection. The expression levels of NDC80 protein were detected by immunohistochemistry. The expression of NDC80 mRNA in normal cervical cells and cervical cancer cells was detected by qRT-PCR. NDC80 small interfering RNA (NDC80-siRNA) and its negative control (si-NC) were respectively transfected into cervical cancer cell lines. The CCK-8 assay was used to detect the proliferation ability of cervical cancer cells, the wound healing assay was used to detect the migration ability of cervical cancer cells, the Transwell assay was used to detect the invasion ability of cervical cancer cells, and Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of p-PI3K and p-Akt proteins in cervical cancer cells.
Results
2
GEPIA database analysis showed that NDC80 was highly
expressed in various types of tumors, including cervical cancer, bladder urothelial carcinoma, breast cancer, head and neck cancer, and lung cancer (
P
0.05).The cervical cancer tissues showed significantly higher expression level of NDC80 than that in normal cervical tissues (
P
0.05). The cervical cancer cell lines SiHa, CaSki, HeLa, and C-33A showed higher expression of NDC80 than that in normal cervical epithelial cells, with the most significant expression observed in SiHa and CaSki cells (
P
0.05). Knockdown of NDC80 significantly inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of cervical cancer cells, and also suppressed the expression levels of p-PI3K and p-Akt proteins (
P
0.05).
Conclusion
2
NDC80 is highly expressed in cervical cancer tissues and may promote the proliferation, migration and invasion of cervical cancer cells. This effect may be mediated by targeting the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.
