Abstract:
Objective:To investigate whether syndecan-2(SDC2) can affect the proliferation, invasion and migration of cervical cancer cells by regulating ferroptosis and its possible mechanism.
Methods :Normal cervical epithelial cells H8 and cervical squamous carcinoma cells C33A were cultured and divided into H8 group and C33A group. C33A cells were cultured and divided into control group, low SDC2 expression group, SDC2+ferroptosis inhibitor(ferrostation-1) group and SDC2 + ferroptosis inducer(erastin) group. Western blot was used to detect the protein levels of SDC2, solute carrier family 7 member 11(SLC7A11) and glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4). RT-qPCR was used to detect the SDC2 mRNA level in C33A cells. ELISA kits were used to detect the levels of reactive oxygen species(ROS), glutathione(GSH) and ferrous ion(Fe2+) in C33A cells. The cloning ability of C33A cells was detected by plate cloning. The migration ability of C33A cells was detected by scratch test. Transwell assay was used to detect the invasion ability of C33A cells.
Results :Compared with H8 group, the protein and mRNA expressions of SDC2, SLC7A11 and GPX4 in C33A group increased(P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the proliferation ability, migration ability and invasion ability of C33A cells in the low SDC2 group decreased(P<0.05), the protein and mRNA expressions of SLC7A11 and GPX4 in C33A cells decreased(P<0.05), and the GSH level decreased. ROS and Fe2+levels increased(P<0.05). Compared with the low SDC2 group, the protein and mRNA expressions of SLC7A11 and GPX4 increased(P<0.05), the GSH level increased, and the ROS and Fe2+levels decreased(P<0.05) in the low SDC2+ferrostation-1 group. Compared with the control group, the proliferation ability, migration ability and invasion ability of C33A cells with low SDC2+erastin expression decreased(P<0.05).
Conclusion:The expression of SDC2 increases in C33A cervical cancer cells. Low expression of SDC2 can activate SLC7A11/GPX4 pathway mediated ferroptosis, thereby reducing the proliferation, invasion and migration of C33A cells.
