Abstract
Background: Ovarian cancer (OC) is the most lethal gynecological cancer often diagnosed at an advanced stage due to a lack of effective biomarkers. Ferritin light chain (FTL) is implicated in the development of various cancers, but its impact on OC remains unknown.
Research design and methods: Bioinformatics methods were utilized to analyze FTL. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, western blot, and immunohistochemistry were employed for expression detection, and cell counting kit- 8, and transwell assays were for cell biological functions assessment. Extracellular acidification rate, oxygen consumption rate, and glycolytic metabolite contents were measured. Dual-luciferase and chromatin immunoprecipitation assay validated binding relationship. Xenografted tumor models in nude mice verified the role of FTL invivo.
Results: Cell function experiments revealed that FTL facilitated proliferation, migration, and invasion of OC cells. Rescue experiments unveiled that 2-Deoxy-D-glucose attenuated stimulation on OC cell metastasis and glycolysis by FTL overexpression. Salmonella pathogenicity island 1 (SPI1) up-regulated FTL expression to promote glycolysis and metastasis. FTL knockdown inhibited tumor growth and suppressed glycolysis and cell metastasis invivo, while SPI1 overexpression attenuated these effects.
Conclusions: This study demonstrated pro-metastatic mechanisms of transcription factor SPI1/FTL axis in OC and suggested it as a potential target for treating OC metastasis.
