Abstract

To investigate the role of pseudouridine synthase 7 (PUS7) in pancreatic cancer (PC) and explore its underlying molecular mechanisms. PUS7 role in the malignant biological function of PC cells was investigated by colony formation, EdU, flow cytometry, and transwell assays. PUS7 function on glycolysis of PC cells was determined through assessing the extracellular acidification rate and oxygen consumption rate. Besides, the potential molecular mechanism by which PUS7 affects PC was investigated via utilizing immunohistochemistry staining, western blot, qRT-PCR, and co-immunoprecipitation. Xenograft tumors were constructed using BALB/c nude mice. PUS7 was highly expressed in PC tissues. PUS7 significantly accelerated proliferation, mobility and glycolysis, but suppressed apoptosis in PC. Furthermore, PUS7 promoted the malignant biological function of PC cells by interacting anillin (ANLN). We also demonstrated that PUS7 promoted the malignant biological function of PC cells by activating the MYC pathway. PUS7 promoted PC progression via activating the MYC pathway in vivo. Our results indicated that PUS7 could promote cell proliferation, mobility and glycolysis, and inhibit apoptosis by interacting ANLN to activate the MYC pathway in PC.

期刊介绍： Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry: An International Journal for Chemical Biology in Health and Disease publishes original research papers and short communications in all areas of the biochemical sciences, emphasizing novel findings relevant to the biochemical basis of cellular function and disease processes, as well as the mechanics of action of hormones and chemical agents. Coverage includes membrane transport, receptor mechanism, immune response, secretory processes, and cytoskeletal function, as well as biochemical structure-function relationships in the cell. In addition to the reports of original research, the journal publishes state of the art reviews. Specific subjects covered by Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry include cellular metabolism, cellular pathophysiology, enzymology, ion transport, lipid biochemistry, membrane biochemistry, molecular biology, nuclear structure and function, and protein chemistry.
