Expression of lnc-MTBP-5 in colorectal cancer and its effect on cell invasion / 上海交通大学学报（医学版）

Objective: To analyze the expression of lnc-MTBP-5 in colorectal cancer (CRC), and explore the effect of lnc-MTBP-5 on the invasion of CRC cells and its potential mechanism. Methods: Bioinformatics data from PRJNA218851 and PRJNA376161 data sets were extracted from the Sequence ReadArchive (SRA) database to screen CRC metastasis associated lncRNAs. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) was used to analyze the expression of lnc-MTBP-5 in CRC tissues and normal tissues, its relationship with the prognosis of patients, and its correlation with metastasis related factors. Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) was used to detect the expression of lnc-MTBP-5 in normal intestinal epithelial cells and CRC cells, as well as 53 CRC tissues and para-cancer mucosa. After lnc-MTBP-5 was down-regulated in CRC cells, CCK-8 assay, clone formation and Transwell assay were performed to observe the effect of lnc-MTBP-5 on the proliferation and invasion ability of CRC cells. Results: Lnc-MTBP-5 was associated with CRC metastasis. The expression of lnc-MTBP-5 was significantly increased in 5 CRC cell lines and CRC tissues. Compared with patients with low expression of lnc-MTBP-5, CRC patients with high expression of lnc-MTBP-5 were younger, had higher American Joint Committee on cancer (AJCC) staging, and were prone to metastasis. Lnc-MTBP-5 was positively correlated with CRC metastasis associated in colon cancer 1 (MACC1), mesenchymal to epithelial transition factor (MET) and cadherin-associated protein. After lnc-MTBP-5 was down-regulated, the invasion ability of CRC cells decreased. Conclusion: Lnc-MTBP-5 is up-regulated in CRC cell lines and CRC tissues, and it is negatively correlated with the prognosis of patients. Lnc-MTBP-5 can promote the invasion ability of CRC cells, which may be related to MACC1-HGF (hepatocyte growth factor)/MET pathway.

MTBP regulates migration and invasion of prostate cancer cells / 南方医科大学学报

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the role of MTBP in regulating the migration and invasion of human prostate cancer cells.@*METHODS@#The baseline expressions of MTBP in 3 different human prostate cancer cells lines (22RV1, DU145 and Lncap) were detected using Western blotting. The cells were transfected with a small interfering RNA (siRNA) for MTBP knockdown or MTBP plasmid for MTBP overexpression, and 48 h later, the cells were examined for MTBP expression with Western blotting; the changes in the migration abilities of the cells were evaluated using wound healing assay and Transwell assay, and the cell invasiveness was assessed using Matrigel Transwell assay. The expression of E-cadherin protein, a marker of epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT), was detected using Western blotting.@*RESULTS@#MTBP expression was the highest in DU145 cells followed by Lncap cells, and was the lowest in 22RV1 cells, indicating a positive correlation of MTBP expression with the level of malignancy of human prostate cancer cells. Transfection of the cells with siRNA or MTBP plasmids efficiently lowered or enhanced the expressions of MTBP in human prostate cancer cells. Wound healing assay showed that inhibition of MTBP expression decreased the migration ability of the prostate cancer cells, and MTBP overexpression significantly promoted the migration of the cells ( < 0.01). Transwell assay showed that MTBP knockdown significantly lowered the migration and invasion ability of the cells, while MTBP overexpression markedly increased the number of migrating and invading cells ( < 0.01); Western blotting results showed that MTBP knockdown increased the expression of E-cadherin protein, and MTBP overexpression decreased E-cadherin expression in the prostate cancer cells.@*CONCLUSIONS@#MTBP overexpression promotes the migration and invasion of human prostate cancer cells possibly relation to the induction of EMT.

Research progress of MDM2-binding protein in cancer / 实用肿瘤学杂志

MDM2-binding protein(MTBP)factor is a binding protein of MDM2,and MDM2 gene and involved in the development of cancer as an important gene ,which has been studied for a long time .It has been demonstrated that MTBP could regulate biological processes such as metabolism ,growth,and apoptosis of cells .In the past few years ,some studies have found that MTBP is down -regulated in variety of malignancies ,which is as-sociated with the progression and the prognosis of these tumors .MTBP may be a potential target for the treatment of many kinds of malignant tumors .This paper reviews the research pregressof MDM 2-binding protein on canc-er.
