Abstract:
【Objective】 To investigate the expression of transcription factor POU domain class 2 transcription factor 2 (POU2F2) in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and human renal cancer cell lines (786-O and ACHN) and its effects on the cells’ biological behaviors such as proliferation, migration and invasion in vitro. 【Methods】 The mRNA expressions of POU2F2 in ccRCC tissues, adjacent normal tissues, cell lines 786-O and ACHN were detected with real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The protein expression of POU2F2 in ccRCC tissues and adjacent normal tissues were detected with immunohistochemistry. The effects of knockdown of POU2F2 on the mRNA and protein expressions of epithelial mesenchymal transformation (EMT)-related tumor markers were detected with qRT-PCR and Western blot. 【Results】 The mRNA expression of POU2F2 in ccRCC tissues was significantly higher than that in adjacent normal tissues, and was correlated with patients’ gender, WHO/ISUP nuclear grade and TNM stage. The protein expression of POU2F2 was significantly higher in ccRCC tissues than in adjacent normal tissues, and was correlated with tumor pathological grade and TNM stage. The mRNA expression of POU2F2 was significantly decreased in 786-O cells after sh-POU2F2-1013 plasmid transfection (P<0.05); the proliferation ability, clonal formation rate, migration ability and invasion ability were significantly reduced (P<0.05). Knockdown of POU2F2 down-regulated the mRNA and protein expressions of MMP2, MMP9 and Twist in 786-O cells, while up-regulated E-ca expression. 【Conclusion】 The mRNA expression of POU2F2 was significantly up-regulated in ccRCC tissues and renal cancer cells. Knockdown of POU2F2 inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of cells in vitro, and slowed or inhibited the occurrence and development of renal cancer.
