Backgrounds and aimsEsophageal squamous cell carcinoma is the most important Pathological type ofesophageal cancer(90%)[1].It is a aggressive and poor prognosis tumor. theaverage annual mortality rate of esophageal cancer in China is14.59/10million, and32.22/10million in Henan province.The major cause of death of the esophagealcancer patient is tumor invasion and metastasis. The study found that the specialAT-rich domain binding protein SATB1promote tumor invasion and metastasis byregulating chromatin structure and transcription sequence [2,3]. However,the rolesof SATB1on esophageal squamous cell carcinoma remains unknown.MethodsThe level of SATB1expression was analyzed in75pairs of esophageal squamouscell carcinoma tissue and esophageal inflammatory tissue. Western blot andReal-time quantitative RT-PCR to assess the SATB1expression in two differentinvasive esophageal cancer cell lines. Meanwhile, siRNA was constructed andsilienced the SATB1expression in human esophageal cancer cell lines Eca109and TE-13to evaluate the effects tumor invasion of SATB1.ResultThe expression level of SATB1in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma wassignificantly higher than inflammatory tissue (46/75); The tumor which expressedhiger SATB1level was significantly associated with clinical and pathologicalfeatures such as the degree of tumor differentiation, tumor infiltration depth,especially lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis;The expression of SATB1inTE-13cell line Significantly higher than in Eca109cell line(p<0.01).Compared withthe control group, siRNA Silence SATB1expression may down-regulating MMP2、MMP9and finally inhibit tumor cell invasion.Conclusion:SATB1could significantly raise the ability of cell migration and invasion inesophageal squamous cell carcinoma by up-regulating Matrix metalloproteinase2,9... |
