  • Study of influences of FOXA1 regulating Notch pathway on proliferation and invasion of colon cancer cells

    ObjectiveTo investigate effect of Notch pathway regulating by inhibiting expression of forkhead box protein A1 (FOXA1) on proliferation and invasion of colon cancer SW480 cells. MethodsThe colon cancer tissues and their corresponding paracancerous tissues of 45 patients with colon cancer admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Science and Technology from June 2019 to February 2021 were selected. The immunohistochemistry and real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) methods were used to detect the expressions of FOXA1 protein and mRNA in the tissues, respectively. In addition, SW480 cells were divided into control group (untreated), shRNA-NC group (transfected with shRNA-NC), sh-FOXA1 group (transfected with sh-FOXA1), sh-FOXA1+sodium valproate group (Add 8 mmol/L Notch pathway activator sodium valproate after transfection with sh-FOXA1). Then the qRT-PCR, MTT, clone formation test, and Transwell methods were used to detect the expressions of FOXA1 mRNA, proliferation, clonogenic ability, invasion and migration of cells in each group. Western blot method was used to detect the proliferation (c-Myc, cyclinD1), invasion and migration [matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)9, MMP2], epithelial-mesenchymal transition (Vimentin, N-cadherin, E-cadherin) and Notch pathway (Notch-1, Hes-1) related protein expressions of cells in each group. Results① In the clinical cases, the expression levels of FOXA1 protein and mRNA in the colon cancer tissues were higher than those in the corresponding paracancerous tissues (protein: 0.085±0.028 vs. 0.034±0.010, t=11.036, P<0.001; mRNA: 1.62±0.34 vs. 1.00±0.09, t=11.671, P<0.001). ② In the cell experiment, compared with the control group and shRNA-NC group, the cell survival rate, and numbers of cloned cells, invasion and migrating cells were significantly reduced (P<0.05), correspondingly, the related proteins expression levels of c-Myc, cyclinD1, MMP9, MMP2, Vimentin, N-cadherin, Notch-1, Hes-1 were significantly reduced (P<0.05) and the protein expression level of E-cadherin was significantly increased (P<0.05) in the sh-FOXA1 group, which were reversed after adding the Notch pathway activator sodium valproate (P<0.05). ConclusionFOXA1 highly expresses in colon cancer tissues and colon cancer cells and it might promote the proliferation, invasion and migration of SW480 cells by activating the Notch pathway.
