SP1 mediates CD147 to influence the angiogenesis of ovarian cancer through HIF-1α/VEGF signaling pathway
Objective: To discuss the expression of CD147 [extracellular matrix metalloprotein inducer (EMMPRIN)]mediated by specific protein (SP1)
the activation of hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α)
and the effect of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling pathway on angiogenesis in ovarian cancer. Methods: The angiogenesis is the critical step in tumorigenesis. Most malignant tumors have dense angiogenesis and grow fast
which is due to the tumor cells can secrete many kinds of growth factors themselves to induce angiogenesis. Therefore
angiogenesis plays an important role in the development and metastasis of tumors and inhibition of it will significantly prevent the development and metastasis of tumor tissues.In vitro angiogenesis assay could simulate the procession of tumor angiogenesis well. In this study
the experiment was divided into overexpression group (OE group)
silencing group (SI group)
CONTROL group (CONTROL group)
and negative CONTROL group (NC group). By silencing or over-expressing of SP1 or CD147 in ovarian cancer cell line SKOV3
blocking HIF-1α/VEGF signal pathway with HIF-1α protein translation inhibitor KC7F2
and then using culture supernatants to act on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC-12)
in vitro angiogenesis assay was carried out to simulate tumor angiogenesis changes. Meanwhile
fluorescence real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was used to examine the expressions of CD147 and VEGF in the cells. Results: The amount of vascular arborizations in NC group (206.33±16.03) was more than that in SI-CD147 group (137.00±15.09). The mRNA level of CD147 in OE-SP1 group (2.38±0.26) was higher than that in SI-SP1 group (0.55±0.12). The amount of vascular arborizations in SI-SP1+OE-CD147 group (200.00±19.52) was more than that in SI-SP1 group (130.00±12.01). The amount of vascular arborizations in OE-CD147 group (373.67±29.02) was more than that in OE-CD147+KC7F2 group (187.00±19.52). The molecular level of VEGF in OE-CD147 group (4.05±0.09) was higher than that in OE-CD147+KC7F2 group (1.02±0.11). Conclusion: The expression of CD147 increases in ovarian cancer
and the upstream transcription factor SP1 is able to upregulate the expression of CD147
thereby activating HIF-1α/VEGF signaling pathway to promote the angiogenesis of ovarian cancer
and ultimately leading to the pathogenesis of ovarian cancer.
