Abstract
Purpose: RNF6 is verified to promote the malignant growth of colorectal cancer (CRC) and its level is linked to prognosis in CRC patients. Radioresistance is a key factor influencing prognosis in CRC. This study aimed to uncover the potential regulation of ring finger protein 6 (RNF6) in CRC radioresistance.
Methods: RNF6 levels in radioresistant and non-radioresistant CRC patients were detected. In vitro and in vivo regulatory effects of RNF6 on radioresistant CRC cell lines and nude mice bearing radioresistant CRC were examined, respectively. The involvement of Wnt pathway in CRC radioresistance was explored by Western blot.
Results: RNF6 was highly expressed in radioresistant CRC species than that of non-radioresistant ones. Identically, RNF6 was upregulated in radioresistant CRC cells compared to parental cells. SW1116 cells overexpressing RNF6 were more tolerant to radiotherapy, and similar results were obtained in nude mice bearing radioresistant CRC with overexpression of RNF6. Moreover, the Wnt pathway was activated during RNF6-induced radioresistance improvement in CRC.
Conclusions: RNF6 enhances radioresistance of CRC through activating the Wnt pathway.
期刊介绍:
JBUON aims at the rapid diffusion of scientific knowledge in Oncology.
Its character is multidisciplinary, therefore all aspects of oncologic activities are welcome including clinical research (medical oncology, radiation oncology, surgical oncology, nursing oncology, psycho-oncology, supportive care), as well as clinically-oriented basic and laboratory research, cancer epidemiology and social and ethical aspects of cancer. Experts of all these disciplines are included in the Editorial Board.
With a rapidly increasing body of new discoveries in clinical therapeutics, the molecular mechanisms that contribute to carcinogenesis, advancements in accurate and early diagnosis etc, JBUON offers a free forum for clinicians and basic researchers to make known promptly their achievements around the world.
With this aim JBUON accepts a broad spectrum of articles such as editorials, original articles, reviews, special articles, short communications, commentaries, letters to the editor and correspondence among authors and readers.
JBUON keeps the characteristics of its former paper print edition and appears as a bimonthly e-published journal with continuous volume, issue and page numbers.
