RESUMO
The role of Sun2 has been described by previous studies in various types of cancers, including breast cancer and lung cancer. However, its role and potential molecular mechanism in the progression of prostate cancer have not been fully elucidated. In the present study, we found that Sun2 expression was reduced in prostate cancer tissues compared with paired normal tissues, and that low expression of Sun2 was significantly correlated with Higher Gleason scores, postoperative T stage (pT), Lymph nodal invasion and Clinical pathological stages. In addition, reduced Sun2 Expression predicts poor survival of prostate cancer patients and could serve as an independent predictor of prostate cancer patients overall survival (OS).Furthermore, Sun2 overexpression inhibits the prostate cancer cells growth, and Sun2 knockdown promotes the prostate cancer cells growth both in vitro and vivo. Mechanical silencing of , Sun2 promoted fatty acid oxidation (FAO) in prostate cancer, prostate cancer cells growth promoted by Sun2 silencing could be reversed by the FAO inhibitor Etomoxir. Additionally, we also showed that serum amyloid A1 (SAA1) play a vital role in FAO, ATP and cell growth promoted by Sun2 loss in prostate cancer. These results suggest that Loss of Sun2 promoted the prostate cancer progression by regulating FAO.
RESUMO
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To examine the expression of cytokine-induced apoptosis inhibitor1 (CIAPIN1) in gastric cancer and normal mucosa tissues, and to investigate its effects on migration and invasion of gastric cancer cells.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Immunohistochemistry was used to detect CIAPIN1 expression in 15 samples of normal gastric mucosa tissues, 148 samples of gastric cancer tissues (42 of non-metastasis gastric cancer tissues without other organs or lymph node metastasis, 106 of metastasis gastric cancer tissues with lymph node metastasis), and 37 samples of gastric cancer lymph node metastasis tissues. Association of CIAPIN1 expression with clinicopathological characteristics of gastric cancer was analyzed by Chi-square test. SGC-7901 cell lines of high CIAPIN1 expression and low CIAPIN1 expression were established. Transwell assay was applied to detect the invasion and migration of CIAPIN1-regulated gastric cancer cells.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Positive rate of CIAPIN1 expression in gastric cancer tissues was lower than that in normal gastric mucosa tissues (41.2% vs. 86.7%, P=0.0008), and in metastasis gastric cancer tissues was also lower than that in non-metastasis gastric cancer tissues (34.9% vs. 71.4%, P=0.0000). Furthermore, the positive rate of CIAPIN1 expression was closely related to the TNM staging of gastric cancer (TNM stage I(, II( and III( were 55.0%, 53.5% and 24.4%, respectively, P=0.0037). But there was no significant difference of positive expressive rate between metastatic gastric cancer tissues and metastatic lymph node tissues(34.9% vs. 21.6%, P=0.3700). Transwell assay showed that up-regulated CIAPIN1 expression would significantly reduce, while down-regulated CIAPIN1 expression would significantly promote the invasion and migration of SGC-7901 cells (all P<0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Positive rate of CIAPIN1 expression is low in gastric cancer tissues and shows inhibition of invasion and migration of gastric cancer cells.</p>
