Abstract:
Objective: To explore the expression of IQGAP1 (Ras GTPase-activating-like protein containing IQ domain) in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) tissues and cell lines and its effect on the proliferation and invasion of TE-2 cell. Methods: Totally 125 pairs of cancer tissues and para-cancerous tissues from ESCC patients, who underwent surgical resection inAffiliated Tumor Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2015 to December 2016, were included in this study; in addition, ESCC cell lines (TE-2, TE3, ECA109) and normal esophageal epithelial cell line Het-1A were also collected. The expression of IQGAP1 was detected by immunohistochemical staining and its relationship with cliniopathological features was also analyzed. IQGAP1 mRNA and protein expressions in ESCC cell lines were detected by Real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) and Western blotting, respectively. TE-2 cells were transfected with si-IQGAP1 (positive transfection group) and si-CTRL (negative control group) plasmids, and the effects of IQGAP1 silencing on the proliferation and invasion of TE-2 cells were detected by MTT and Transwell assay. The expressions of E-cadherin and Ncadherin were detected by Western blotting. Results: The positive expression rate of IQGAP1 in ESCC tissues was significantly higher than that in para-cancerous tissues (P<0.05), which was closely related to tumor stage and histologic grade (all P<0.05). The mRNAand protein expressions of IQGAP1 in TE-2, TE-3 and ECA109 cells were significantly higher than those in Het-1Acells (all P<0.05).After IQGAP1 was silenced, compared with the negative control group and the blank group, the expression of IQGAP1 mRNAand protein in the positive transfection group significantly decreased (all P<0.05); the proliferation and invasiveness of TE-2 cells significantly decreased (all P<0.05); E-cardherin was up-regulated while N-cardherin was down-regulated (all P<0.05) in the positive interference group. Conclusion: IQGAP1 is highly expressed in ESCC tissues, and si-IQGAP1 can inhibit the proliferation and invasion of TE-2 cells, which plays an important role in the occurrence and development of ESCC.
