Abstract:
Objective To explore the effect of Tiam1 overexpression on the biological behaviors of human colorectal cancer cells ( CRC ) . Methods The human CRC lines under the established stable overexpression of Tiam1 were studied. Cell morphology was detected before and after transfection by commassie blue staining and scanning electron microscope. The proliferation in vitro of CRC was tested by cell cycle, MTT and plate colony formation assay, the migration and invasion ability of CRC was tested by Transwell assay. The proliferation ability in vivo was studied by induced subcutaneous tumors of nude mice. Results Compared with HT29/mock cells, HT29/Tiam1 cells formed as spindle, the pseudopodia increased and elongated. The proportion in S phase of HT29/Tiam1 was higher (t=19.546, P=0.000), the proliferation ability enhanced (F=177.125, P=0.000), colonies formation ratio increased ( t = 3 . 222 , P = 0 . 032 ) . The number of HT29/Tiam1 cells acrossing the microporous membrane (t = 4.832, P=0.001)and Matrigel(t=3.779, P = 0.005)all raised. On the fifteenth day, the growth deference between the HT29/Tiam1cells and HT29/mock cells in nude mice in vivo occurred. Till the thirtieth day, the size of the tumors in HT29/Tiam1 cell group were 2.3 times as large as that in HT29/mock cell group (F=53.040, P=0.002). Conclusions Tiam1 stable overexpression can promote the proliferation, migration and invasion ability of CRC which indicates its important role in carcinogenesis and evolution of colorectal cancer. Tiam1 may represent a new therapeutic target for colorectal cancer.
