ABSTRACT
Pituitary tumor-transforming gene 1 (PTTG1) has been identified as an oncogene and is overexpressed in many tumor types. However, the role of PTTG1 in glioblastoma (GBM) has not been well characterized, especially in relation to angiogenesis, migration, and invasion. In the present study, our results showed that the expression of PTTG1 was significantly higher in patients with GBM. Bioinformatic analysis showed that angiogenesis and the cell migration-related process were increased in patients with high PTTG1 expression levels; meanwhile, PTTG1 was positively correlated with marker genes of angiogenesis, migration and the evasion of apoptosis. In vitro assays showed that PTTG1 knockdown dramatically suppressed angiogenesis, migration and invasion, and increased the apoptosis of GBM cells. Moreover, our results also showed that silencing PTTG1 suppressed the activity of the TGF-ß/PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway, which induced tumor deterioration in multiple organs. Overall, our findings indicate that PTTG1 is a glioma malignant factor that promotes angiogenesis, migration, invasion, and the evasion of apoptosis, and these roles may be related to the TGF-ß/PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway. Thus, the targeted inhibition of PTTG1 might be a novel therapeutic strategy and a potential diagnostic biomarker for GBM-targeted therapies.
