HEC-1-A and Ishikawa cells overexpressing MFAP5 were created. Cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion were evaluated using CCK8, colony formation, flow cytometry, and transwell assays. A western blot was used to analyze the expression of markers affiliated with the epithelial-mesenchymal transition process and AKT/mTOR pathway. As a result, MFAP5 was found to be down-regulated in EC. Overexpression of MFAP5 suppressed proliferation and promoted apoptosis of HEC-1-A and Ishikawa cells, as evidenced by the inhibition of cell viability and colony formation, and the increase in cell apoptosis rate. Besides, overexpression of MFAP5 attenuated the abilities of cell migration and invasion, as well as reduced MMP2 and MMP9 protein expression. Furthermore, E-cadherin protein level was elevated, while N-cadherin and α-SMA protein levels were decreased, and the phosphorylation of AKT and mTOR was reduced in cells overexpressing MFAP5. Our findings indicate that MFAP5 overexpression inhibits the malignant behaviors of EC cells, possibly by blocking the AKT/mTOR pathway, suggesting that MFAP5 may be a new therapeutic target for EC.","PeriodicalId":19605,"journal":{"name":"Open Life Sciences","volume":"19 1","pages":"20220990"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11699556/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142932320","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We also conducted lipid synthesis, cell proliferation, apoptosis, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) experiments to elucidate the effects of ZAG expression on CRC, as well as explored the potential underlying mechanistic pathways. Our findings reveal that ZAG is overexpressed in CRC. In vitro, ZAG knockdown resulted in the suppression of lipid production, cell division, and EMT while concurrently promoting apoptosis. The phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT)/mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway was found to mediate the effects of ZAG on CRC cells.

Cell viability, migration, and invasion were assessed using CCK-8 and transwell assays. Senescence-associated beta-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) levels were detected using a β-galactosidase staining kit.

Additionally, METTL13 knockdown inhibited the phosphorylation levels of PI3K, AKT, and mTOR. Inhibition of the PI3K/AKT pathway reversed the effects of METTL13 on cell viability, migration, invasion, and cell cycle-related proteins in BC cells. In vivo experiments showed that METTL13 knockdown inhibited tumor growth and development.

Statistical analyses and graphical representations were conducted using R software. The study confirmed a significant upregulation of F2R in BC, which was associated with a more favorable prognosis. Clinical correlation analysis revealed a strong association between F2R expression and key clinical parameters, such as estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor status. Additionally, genes co-expressed with F2R were significantly linked to various biological processes, including cell cycle regulation, oxidative phosphorylation, ribosomal function, and extracellular matrix interactions. F2R also showed associations with immune modulators, particularly CD200 and NRP1. Drug sensitivity analysis, molecular docking, and cell experiments consistently demonstrated positive correlations between F2R expression and sensitivity to dasatinib.

These genes are mainly involved in neutrophil activation, T cell regulation, immune effector process regulation, cytokine receptor activity, and cytokine binding. The six target genes were ELANE, IL1R2, RAB13, RNASE3, FCGR1A, and TLR5. In the sepsis group, FCGR1A and TLR5 were positively associated with survival compared to ELANE, IL1R2, RAB13, and RNASE3, which were adversely associated with survival. Furthermore, a meta-analysis based on public databases revealed an increased expression of these six target genes in the peripheral blood of patients with sepsis. In addition, we discovered that monocytes primarily express these genes. Using qPCR, we confirmed that these six important genes were highly expressed in lipopolysaccharide-treated THP1 cells.
