Objective :
To investigate the effect of overexpression of tyrosine kinase receptor 1 (Tie-1) in cervical cancer cells on the malignant biological behavior of tumor-related endothelial cells (TRECs) .
Methods :
Immuno- histochemical method was used to detect the expression of Tie-1 in cervical cancer cells ( CCCs) and TRECs of 96 patients with cervical cancer,and to analyze the correlation between the expression of Tie-1 in TRECs and clinico- pathological features and prognosis of patients.HeLa cells overexpressing Tie-1 (Hela-Tie1OE) were constructed, and HeLa-Tie1OE was co-cultured with human umbilical vein endothelial cells ( HUVECs) by Transwell cell co- culture method to obtain cervical cancer TRECs.Western blot was used to analyze Tie-1 protein expression.The migration,invasion and tubulogenesis of TRECs were detected by cell scratch assay,Transwell invasion and migra- tion assay and tubulogenesis assay.
Results :
The expression of Tie-1 was positively correlated with CCCs and TRECs in 96 cervical cancer patients.The positive expression rate of Tie-1 in TRECs of patients with stage(FIGO) Ⅰ B2-ⅡA,tumor diameter ≥4 cm ,cervical muscle invasion depth ≥ 1 /2 full layer ,adenocarcinoma ,medium and low differentiation cervical cancer was higher than that of patients with Ⅰ A 1-Ⅰ B 1,tumor diameter<4 cm, cervical muscle invasion depth <1 /2 full layer,squamous carcinoma,and high differentiation cervical cancer,re- spectively.The differences were statistically significant (P<0. 05) .The expression of Tie-1 in TRECs of cervical cancer patients had no significant correlation with age,lymph node metastasis and lymphatic space invasion.The positive expression of Tie-1 in cervical cancer TRECs was negatively correlated with 5-year progression-free survival time and overall survival time (P<0. 05) .The Tie-1 expression of TRECs obtained by co-culture of Hela-Tie1OE and HUVECs was up-regulated ,and the invasion ,migration and tubulogenesis of TRECs cells were enhanced.
Conclusion
The high expression of Tie-1 in TRECs of cervical cancer is related to FIGO stage,tumor diameter, degree of differentiation,depth of cervical muscular invasion,type of cervical cancer,and poor prognosis of pa- tients.Overexpression of Tie-1 can promote TRECs invasion,migration and tubulogenesis.
