IGF-1 induces the epithelial-mesenchymal transition via Stat5 in hepatocellular carcinoma

چکیده
It has been reported that the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays an important role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the relationship between the insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and EMT of HCC was not fully elucidated. In the present work, we found that the expression of N-cadherin, Vimentin, Snail1, Snail2, and Twist1 was positively associated with IGF-1R expression, while E-cadherin expression was negatively associated with IGF-1 expression in human HCC samples. Furthermore, we observed that IGF-1 up-regulated the expression of N-cadherin, Vimentin, Snail1, Snail2 and Twist1, and down-regulated the expression of E-cadherin. In addition, Stat5 was induced in IGF-1-treated HepG2 and Hep3B cells, and Stat5 inhibition or siRNA significantly affected IGF-1-induced EMT in HepG2 and Hep3B cells. In conclusion, IGF-1 induces EMT of HCC via Stat5 signaling pathway. Thus, IGF-1/Stat5 can be recommended as a potential and novel therapeutic strategy for HCC patients.

Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) induces epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, its underlying mechanism remains largely unknown. In the present study, we investigated the correlation between S1P and syndecan-1 in HCC, the molecular mechanism involved, as well as their roles in EMT of HCC. Results revealed a high serum S1P level presents in patients wit...

Poor prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is associated with a high potential of vascular invasion and metastasis. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a key event in the tumor invasion process. Recently, signal transducers and activators of transcription 5 (STAT5) has been linked to tumor progression by EMT induction. However, the precise roles of STAT5 genes (STAT5a and STAT5b) i...

Differentiated embryonic chondrocyte (DEC) 1 has been reported to be involved in cell differentiation, hypoxia response, and cancer progression. Recent studies have demonstrated that hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α induces epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in carcinoma cells to facilitate cell invasiveness and metastasis. However, it remains unclear whether DEC1 participates in hypoxia-...

A growing body of data indicates that inhibiting the type 1 insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-1R) might be an effective treatment strategy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). OSI-906 is a dual IGF-1R/IR kinase inhibitor currently in phase II clinical development for HCC. However, biomarkers are lacking to help identify patients with HCC who are more likely to benefit from OSI-906 treatme...
