Abstract

The effect of cathelicidin hCAP18/LL-37 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) metastasis remains unclear. Here, we confirmed that LL-37 expression enhanced endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), migration and invasion in HCC cells. And the HER2/EGFR-MAPK/ERK signal participated in the process above. More frequent lung metastases were observed in an LL-37-overexpressing hematogenous metastasis model. Interestingly, 1,25(OH)₂D₃ together with si-LL-37 significantly enhanced 1,25(OH)₂D₃-induced inhibition of migration and invasion in PLC/PRF-5 cells, and also enhanced reversion of the EMT process. Therefore, LL-37 is involved in HCC metastases, and may act as an important factor to attenuate the inhibitory activity of 1,25(OH)₂D₃ on HCC metastasis. Targeting hCAP18/LL-37 may offer a potential strategy to improve the anticancer activity of 1,25(OH)₂D₃ in HCC therapy.

Cathelicidin LL-37在体外和小鼠模型中促进肝癌细胞的EMT、迁移和转移。

cathelicidin-hCAP18/LL-37在肝细胞癌（HCC）转移中的作用尚不清楚。在这里，我们证实LL-37的表达增强了HCC细胞中的内皮-间充质转化（EMT）、迁移和侵袭。HER2/EGFR-MAPK/ERK信号参与了上述过程。在LL-37-过表达血行转移模型中观察到更频繁的肺转移。有趣的是，1,25（OH）2D3与si-LL-37一起显著增强了1,25（羟基）2D3诱导的对PLC/PRF-5细胞迁移和侵袭的抑制，并增强了EMT过程的逆转。因此，LL-37参与HCC转移，并且可能作为减弱1，25（OH）2D3对HCC转移的抑制活性的重要因素。靶向hCAP18/LL-37可能提供一种在HCC治疗中提高1，25（OH）2D3抗癌活性的潜在策略。
