Abstract:
Objective:To study the expression of ubiquilin2 (UBQLN2) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and its effect on the proliferation, invasion and metastasis ability of NSCLC cells.Methods:Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of UBQLN2 in NSCLC cancer (24 cases) and adjacent normal tissues (24 cases), and to analyze the relationship between the expression of UBQLN2 and lymph node metastasis of NSCLC cancer. The expression of UBQLN2 in human normal bronchopulmonary epithelial cells and NSCLC cells was detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR)and Western blot; the effect of UBQLN2 on the proliferation of NSCLC cells was detected by lentivirus overexpression technology combined with MTS and EDU experiments in vitro; the effect of UBQLN2 on the invasion and metastasis of NSCLC cells was detected by scratch experiments in vitro and transwell experiments; a dual-fluorescence autophagy flow detection system was constructed by GFP-LC3-RFP-mLC3 plasmid packaging virus and Western blot was used to detect the change of autophagy after overexpression of UBQLN2; TCGA online data was uesd to analyze the expression level of UBQLN2 and lung cancer patients relevance of prognosis. Results:The expression of UBQLN2 in normal lung tissues was significantly higher than that in NSCLC tissues ( P<0.01), and the expression in patients with negative lymph node metastasis was significantly higher than that in patients with positive lymph node metastasis ( P<0.01); the expression of UBQLN2 in NSCLC cells was significantly lower than that in normal lung epithelial cells, and the overexpression of UBQLN2 could inhibit the proliferation and invasion and metastasis of tumor cells. The expression of UBQLN2 was positively correlated with the prognosis of NSCLC. Conclusions:The expression of UBQLN2 is significantly lower in lung cancer tissues and cells, and is negatively correlated with the lymph node metastasis of NSCLC; UBQLN2 can inhibit the proliferation and invasion of NSCLC cells; the expression of UBQLN2 is positively correlated with the prognosis of patients.
