Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the clinical significance of protein disulfide isomerase A3 (PDI) A3 (PDIA3) expression in hepatocellular carcinoma tissues and its effect of PDIA3 on the expression of IL6 and IL17 in hepatocellular carcinoma cells.Methods:Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of PDIA3 in the tissues of 72 patients with liver cancer and their adjacent tissues. HepG2 cells were divided into experimental group and control group. The cells in the experimental group were transfected with PDIA3-siRNA plasmid, and the cells in the control group were transfected with MOCK-siRNA plasmid. Fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect the content of PDIA3 mRNA in each group of cells. The expressions of PDIA3, IL6 and IL17 in each group of cells were detected by Western blot. The proliferation ability of each group of cells was detected by CCK8.Results:The positive rate of PDIA3 in liver cancer tissues was 85.22% (75/88), and the expression rate in adjacent tissues was 6.81% (6/88). The expression rate of PDIA3 in liver cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in adjacent tissues. The difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001). After transfection of siRNA, the expression levels of PDIA3 mRNA in HepG2 cells in the experimental group and control group were 1.23±0.20 and 0.43±0.12, respectively, and the expression levels of PDIA3 protein were 1.19±0.11 and 0.23±0.08, respectively. The expression levels of IL6 were 1.11±0.15 and 0.57±0.09, respectively. The expression levels of IL17 were 1.19±0.14 and 0.45±0.08, respectively, and the expressions of IL6 and IL17 were significantly decreased (all P<0.05). The absorbance of HepG2 cells in the experimental group and the control group at 120 h was 2.28±0.10 and 1.11±0.09, respectively, and the cell proliferation ability of the experimental group was significantly decreased ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The expression of PDIA3 is significantly increased in hepatocellular carcinoma, which may be related to the malignancy of hepatocellular carcinoma. PDIA3 affects the proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma cells by regulating the expression of IL6 and IL17.
