摘要: 目的 探讨转录因子SOX11 在食管癌组织和细胞系中的表达及对人食管癌细胞EC109增殖和迁移的影响,并初步探讨其作用机制。方法 qRT-PCR和免疫组织化学法分析SOX11在食管癌组织、细胞系(EC109、KYSE150、KYSE410 和 KYSE510)及正常食管上皮细胞 HEEC的表达;分别转染 pcDNA3.1(+)-Flag-SOX11 质粒(实验组)和pcDNA3.1(+)-Flag-Vector质粒(对照组)至EC109细胞系,qRT-PCR验证SOX11的过表达;CCK-8实验和Transwell实验分析SOX11对细胞增殖和迁移能力的影响;qRT-PCR及Western blot验证SOX11对细胞增殖和迁移的相关标志物表达分析。结果 与食管上皮组织相比,SOX11 mRNA 和蛋白在食管癌组织中的表达明显下调;SOX11的蛋白表达下调与肿瘤分级(P=0.014)、T分期(P=0.036)、淋巴结转移(P=0.014)相关;同时与食管上皮细胞相比,SOX11 mRNA在食管癌细胞中表达下调,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.001);与对照组相比,实验组24、48、72 h细胞活性受到明显抑制(P<0.05);实验组细胞迁移能力明显受到抑制(P<0.001);与对照组相比,实验组中active-β-catenin 及下游的基因受到了明显的抑制。结论 SOX11在人食管癌组织和细胞系中表达下调,可能通过拮抗Wnt/β-catenin信号通路参与食管癌的进程。

Abstract: Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of the transcription factor SOX11 in esophageal cancer tissues and cell lines,the effects on proliferation and migration of esophageal cancer EC109 cells,and to explore its mechanism of action.Methods RT-qPCR and immunohistochemistry were used to analyze the expression of SOX11 in esophageal tissues and cell lines;SOX11 plasmids were transfected into low expression esophageal cancer cells(EC109,KYSE150,KYSE410 and KYSE510)and normal esophageal epithelial HEEC cells.The overexpression of SOX11 was confirmed in EC109 cells transfected with pcDNA3.1(+)-Flag-SOX11(the experimental group)and pcDNA3.1(+)-Flag-vector plasmid(the control group).CCK-8 and Transwell assays were used to analyze the effects of SOX11 on proliferation and migration of EC109 cells.RT-qPCR and Western blot assays were used to verify the effect of SOX11 on cell proliferation and migration of EC109 cells.Results Compared with esophageal epithelial tissues,the expression of SOX11 at levels of mRNA and protein was significantly down-regulated in esophageal cancer tissues;the down-regulated expression of SOX11 protein was associated with tumor grade(P=0.014),T stage(P=0.036)and lymph node metastasis(P=0.014).At the same time,compared with esophageal epithelial cells,the mRNA expression of SOX11 was down-regulated in esophageal cancer cells;the difference was statistically significant(P<0.001).Compared with the control group(empty vector),the cell viability was significantly suppressed in EC109 cells after transfected with SOX11 mimics for 24,48 and 72 h(P<0.05);the cell migration ability of EC109 cells was significantly inhibited in the experimental group(P<0.001);Compared with the control group,active-β-catenin and its downstream genes were also significantly suppressed in the experimental group.Conclusion SOX11 is down-regulated in human esophageal cancer tissues and cancer cell lines,and may participate in the process of esophageal cancer by antagonizing the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.
