Abstract 386P
Background
Wnt/β-catenin pathway is closely related to the development and progression of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). Loss or reduction of ubiquitination and degradation of β-catenin in cytoplasm result in its accumulation in the nucleus and over-activation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Folate receptor 1 (FRα) is overexpressed in numerous epithelial malignancies. However, the effect of FRα on Wnt/β-catenin pathway and its role in LSCC remains unclear.
Methods
Real-time RT-PCR, Western blot and immunohistochemistry(IHC) detects the mRNA and protein level of FRα in 30 cases of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) tissues and adjacent normal tissues; Flag-FRα and Si# FRα plasmids were constructed and transfected to establish high FRα expression and low FRα expression cells; EdU assay, colony formation, scratch assay and transwell assay were performed to detect the of proliferation, colony formation, migration and invasion ability of cells; SiRNA#β-catenin was used to block Wnt/β-catenin signal and detected the ability of proliferation, colony formation, migration and invasion; confocal laser detects the subcellular distribution of β-catenin; SgRNA#EGFR was used to silence EGFR signal ; co-immunoprecipitation detects the ubiquitination level of β-catenin.
Results
Q-RT-PCR, WB and IHC showed that the mRNA and protein level of FRα in laryngeal carcinoma tissues was significantly higher than adjacent tissues, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). Compared with FRα low expression (TU177/Flag and TU212/Si-FRα) cells, the proliferation, colony formation, migration and invasion abilities of FRα high expression (TU177/Flag-FRα and TU212/Si-NC) cells were enhanced; SiRNA#β-catenin inhibited FRα -induced cell proliferation, colony formation and migration. Confocal laser results showed that the nuclear accumulation of β-catenin was increased in FRα high expression cells. SgRNA#EGFR inhibited FRα -induced nuclear translocation of β-catenin. Co-immunoprecipitation results displayed that the ubiquitination of β-catenin was decreased in FRα high expression cells.
Conclusions
FOLR1 stabilized β-catenin promotes laryngeal carcinoma progression through EGFR signa.
