ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Inositol polyphosphate 4-phosphatase type II (INPP4B) has been identified as a tumor repressor in several human cancers while its role in endometrial cancer has not been investigated yet. Therefore, the current study was designed to determine whether INPP4B participates in the progression of endometrial cancer by utilizing clinical data and experimental determination. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
We first include six chemotherapy-treated patients with recurrent and metastatic endometrioid carcinoma to determine the relationship between INPP4B mutation and relative tumor burden. By using siRNA-mediated gene silencing and vector-mediated gene overexpression, we further determined the effect of manipulating INPP4B expression on the proliferation, invasion, and survival of endometrial cancer cells. Furthermore, the repressing effect of INPP4B together with its role in chemotherapy was further validated by xenograft tumor-bearing mice models. Western blot analysis was used to explore further downstream signaling modulated by INPP4B expression manipulation.RESULTS:
Two of the patients were found to have INPP4B mutations and the mutation frequency of INPP4B increased during the progression of chemotherapy resistance. Endometrial cancer cells with silenced INPP4B expression were found to have promoted tumor cell proliferation, invasion, and survival. Endometrial cancer cells overexpressing INPP4B were found to have decreased tumor cell proliferation, invasion, and survival. An in vivo study using six xenograft tumor-bearing mice in each group revealed that INPP4B overexpression could suppress tumor progression and enhance chemosensitivity. Furthermore, INPP4B overexpression was found to modulate the activation of Wnt3a signaling.CONCLUSION:
The current study suggested that INPP4B could be a suppressor in endometrial cancer progression and might be a target for endometrial cancer treatment. Also, INPP4B might serve as a predictor of chemosensitivity determination.
