Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the role of the transient receptor potential melastatin subfamily member 7 (TRPM7) ion channel in the proliferation and migration of oral squamous cancer cells OC2.Methods:The expression of TRPM7 in OC2 cells was examined by western blotting,RT-PCR and indirect immunofluorescence assay.The influence of TRPM7 on cell proliferation and migration under the inhibition of TRPM7 ion channel with 2-APB or siRNA TRPM7 in OC2 cells was examined by MTT and Transwell respectively.The influence of PI3K/AKT signal pathway on the expression of TRPM7 in OC2 cells was tested by Western blotting.The change of positive ion current when the OC2 cells were treated with TRPM7 inhibitor and activator was explored with patch clamp technique.Results:TRPM7 overexpression in OC2 cells mainly in the cytoplasm was observed,siRNA TRPM7 downregulated the expression of TRPM7.Inhibition of TRPM7 (2-APB or siRNA TRPM7) inhibited the growth and proliferation of OC2 cells in a time-and dose-dependent manner.Blockage of TRPM7 ion channel inhibited the migration capacity of OC2 cells.Inhibition of TRPM7 downregulated the expression of phosphorylated AKT and phosphorylated ERK.Patch clamp assay showed the activation of TRPM7-like current in OC2 cells.2-APB could weaken this current while Bradykinin could enhance the current.Conclusion:TRPM7 may regulate the proliferation and migration of oral cancer cells by the regulation of PI3K/AKT and MAPK/ERK signal pathways and cell positive current.
