Abstract
Objective: Investigate ADAM17 expression in colorectal cancer (CRC) at molecular and cellular levels and its potential mechanism in promoting tumorigenesis by regulating CRC cell migration and invasion.
Materials and methods: The study measured ADAM17 mRNA and protein levels in colorectal cancer cells and tissues using qPCR and immunohistochemical staining, and assessed the cells' proliferation, migration, and invasion abilities.
Results: ADAM17 expression was significantly higher in CRC tissues than in non-cancerous tissues and was linked to metastasis and poor prognosis in CRC patients. Silencing ADAM17 reduced cell migration and invasion. Mechanistically, knocking down ADAM17 decreased the expression of TGF-β/Smad pathway-related proteins, which inhibited proteins associated with migration and invasion, thus impairing these cellular processes.
Conclusion: ADAM17 likely promotes the migration and invasion of CRC cells by regulating the TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway. This study aids in understanding the molecular mechanisms of CRC metastasis and development, and supports the development of new therapeutic targets.
期刊介绍:
Tissue and Cell is devoted to original research on the organization of cells, subcellular and extracellular components at all levels, including the grouping and interrelations of cells in tissues and organs. The journal encourages submission of ultrastructural studies that provide novel insights into structure, function and physiology of cells and tissues, in health and disease. Bioengineering and stem cells studies focused on the description of morphological and/or histological data are also welcomed.
Studies investigating the effect of compounds and/or substances on structure of cells and tissues are generally outside the scope of this journal. For consideration, studies should contain a clear rationale on the use of (a) given substance(s), have a compelling morphological and structural focus and present novel incremental findings from previous literature.
