Abstract:
Objective To investigate the expression of actin-associated protein Transgelin in pancreatic cancer with or without diabetes and its effects on migration and invasion in SW1990 cell line. Methods The expression of Transgelin in 92 pancreatic cancer tissue specimens (45 cases accompanied with diabetes) and adjacent tumor-free tissue specimens (over 5cm from the edge of the tumor) was detected by immunohistochemistry, and their association with clinical pathological characteristics were also analyzed. Transgelin siRNA was designed and transfected into pancreatic cancer cell line SW1990. The changes of migration and invasion before and after transfection were observed through Transwell test.Results The positive percentage of Transgelin expression in pancreatic cancer was 68.5 % (63/92), which was significantly higher than that of adjacent tumor-free tissues[33.7% ( 31/92), P< 0.05]. The positive percentage of Transgelin expression in pancreatic cancer accompanied with diabetes was 84.4% (38/45), which was significantly higher than that without diabetes[53.2% (25/47), P<0.05]. The expression of Transgelin in pancreatic cancer tissues was associated with lymph nodes metastasis and TNM staging (both P<0.05), but not related with gender, age, site, differentiation and portal vein or nerve invasion (P>0.05). After Transgelin was interfered for 48 hours, the migration ability was significantly lower (migration cell number 49.2 ±9.5 cells) than negative control group (61.9±7.5 cells) and blank group (65.3±10.6 cells) (both P<0.05), and the invasion of SW 1990 cells (48.0 ± 8.6 cells) also significantly lower than negative control group (63.5±11.4 cells) and blank group (67.5±9.6 cells) (both P<0. 05). Conclusion Transgelin may involve in the metastasis of pancreatic cancer accompanied with diabetes through promoting pancreatic cancer cell migration and invasion.
