Abstract
Erianin exerts anticancer effects in bladder cancer, although its underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. This study used online databases to identify erianin-related drug targets and bladder cancer-associated disease targets and to predict the potential signaling pathways involved. Intersecting genes were enriched in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor resistance signaling pathway, and high myosin light chain kinase (MYLK) expression was associated with poor prognosis. A gefitinib-resistant bladder cancer cell line was established to evaluate the role of MYLK. Erianin inhibited MYLK and EGFR protein expression, blocked EGFR signaling and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), restored gefitinib sensitivity, and suppressed the proliferation, invasion, and migration of bladder cancer cells.
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Cancer Research (AJCR) (ISSN 2156-6976), is an independent open access, online only journal to facilitate rapid dissemination of novel discoveries in basic science and treatment of cancer. It was founded by a group of scientists for cancer research and clinical academic oncologists from around the world, who are devoted to the promotion and advancement of our understanding of the cancer and its treatment. The scope of AJCR is intended to encompass that of multi-disciplinary researchers from any scientific discipline where the primary focus of the research is to increase and integrate knowledge about etiology and molecular mechanisms of carcinogenesis with the ultimate aim of advancing the cure and prevention of this increasingly devastating disease. To achieve these aims AJCR will publish review articles, original articles and new techniques in cancer research and therapy. It will also publish hypothesis, case reports and letter to the editor. Unlike most other open access online journals, AJCR will keep most of the traditional features of paper print that we are all familiar with, such as continuous volume, issue numbers, as well as continuous page numbers to retain our comfortable familiarity towards an academic journal.
