Abstract:
Objective: To investigate the effect and mechanism of AMP-activated protein kinase α (AMPKα) over-expression on proliferation, migration, invasion and epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) of bladder cancer T24 cells. Methods: A bladder cancer T24 cells over-expressing AMPKα was established and divided into T24 group, pc-DNA group and pc-AMPKα group according to different plasmid transfection. Western blotting was used to verify the over-expression ofAMPKα and detect the expressions of EMT-related proteins and EMT pathway-related molecules. Hoechst staining was used to detect apoptosis of transfected T24 cells. CCK8 assay was used to detect cell proliferation. Cell scratch test was used to detect cell migration. Transwell assay was used to detect cell invasion. Results: The bladder cancer cell line T24 over-expressingAMPKα was successfully constructed. Compared with the T24 group and the pc-DNA group, the level of E-cadherin in the pc-AMPKα group was significantly increased (P<0.01) while the levels of Vimentin and N-cadherin were significantly decreased (all P<0.01), and the activities of P38 and STAT3 which related to EMT pathway were significantly inhibited (all P<0.01); cell proliferation, migration and invasion were significantly decreased while cell apoptosis was obviously enhanced (all P<0.01). Conclusion: Over-expression of AMPKα can inhibit the activity of EMT pathway-related molecules, which leads to obvious apoptosis, limited proliferation, reduced invasion and migration of bladder cancer T24 cells, and accompanied by the reversal of EMT.
