Abstract
Objectives: To investigate the expression of signal recognition particle 14 (SRP14) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and its clinical significance.
Methods: The data of SRP14 expression in HCC were obtained from bioinformatics study, and from investigation with quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), immunohistochemical staining and Western blotting in clinical samples. The Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to determine the associations between SRP14 mRNA expression and the overall survival, progression-free survival, and disease-specific survival of HCC patients. The effect of SRP14 on the proliferation and migration of HCC cells were determined by EdU staining, MTS, Transwell and wound-healing assays. The potential mechanism for SRP14 regulating HCC was explored through Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis as well as qRT-PCR.
Results: According to the data from GSE14520, TNMplot database and clinical samples, compared with paired tumor-adjacent tissues, non-paired tumor-adjacent tissues and normal tissues, the mRNA expression of SPR14 in HCC tissues was upregulated (all P<0.05). In clinical samples, compared with paired tumor-adjacent tissues, the protein expression of SPR14 in HCC tissues was increased (P<0.05). The increased mRNA expression of SRP14 was associated with good overall survival, progression-free survival, and disease-specific survival in HCC patients. SRP14 inhibited the proliferation and migration of HCC cells in vitro. According to the KEGG and GO enrichment analysis, in non-specific HCC, the genes co-expressed with SRP14 may predominantly regulate protein synthesis, processing, and transport, while in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease related HCC, the genes co-expressed with SRP14 could control multiple signaling pathways such as MAPK, cAMP, PI3K-Akt, and Wnt. Mechanistically, SRP14 up-regulated the mRNA expression of tumor suppressor gene GPRC5A inHCC cells (P<0.05).
Conclusions: SRP14 may regulate HCC progression and influence patient prognosis.
