ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
RACK1 has been identified as a multifunctional cytosolic protein, and plays a pivotal role in multiple biological responses involved in several kinds of tumors, while its effect in cervical cancer has not been well elucidated yet. The study aimed to investigate the role of RACK1 in cervical cancer occurrence and progression.METHODS:
The expression of RACK1 in cervical specimens was measured by immunohistochemical staining and Western blot assay. Transgenic mice were used to detect the role of RACK1 in modulating tumorigenesis in vivo. Cervical carcinoma cell lines were used to explore the underlying mechanisms of RACK1 on the behaviors of tumor cells in vitro.RESULTS:
We found that RACK1 expression was upregulated in cancer tissues compared with adjacent tissues, and its expression was gradually increased from cervictis, and cervical intraepithelial neoplasis (CIN) to carcinoma. Genetic overexpression of RACK1 facilitated tumor formation and growth in nude mice. Mechanism studies disclosed that RACK1 over-expression prolonged the G0 /G1 phase by up-regulating the expression of cyclinD1, down-regulating p21 and p27 probably by modulating the phosphorylation of AKT.CONCLUSIONS:
Taken together, we concluded that RACK1 stimulates tumorigenesis and progression of cervical cancer via modulating the proliferation of tumor cells, implying that targeting RACK1 may serve as a promising method for cervical cancer therapy.Palabras clave
