RESUMO
Background/Aims@#Colorectal cancer (CRC) patients often exhibit peritoneal metastasis, which negatively impacts their prognosis. CD31 and D2-40 have recently been suggested to be predictors of breast cancer prognosis, but their role in colorectal peritoneal metastasis (CRPM) remains unknown. @*Methods@#The expression profiles of CD31 and D2-40 were analyzed in CRC patients with or without CRPM and in CRC cell lines with increasing metastatic potential. Overexpression and short hairpin RNA knockdown assays were performed in CRC cells, and the effects of these alterations on epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in vitro, growth of xenograft tumors in vivo, and peritoneal metastasis potential in a mouse model of CRPM were examined. @*Results@#The expressions of CD31 and D2-40 were upregulated in CRC tumor tissues and was elevated further in tumor tissues from patients with CRPM. CD31 and D2-40 expression levels exhibited increasing trends parallel to the EMT potential of CRC cells. CD31 and D2-40 are essential for CRC cell EMT in vitro as well as for xenograft tumor growth and peritoneal metastasis in vivo. @*Conclusions@#CD31 and D2-40 contribute to CRPM by promoting EMT and may serve as prognostic markers and therapeutic targets for CRC, particularly in patients with peritoneal metastasis.
RESUMO
To observe the contribution of FoxO1 on its downstream molecules expression and function in Jurkat cells,Jurkat cells were infected with FoxO1 expression lentivirus and interference lentivirus to establish FoxO1-KLF2-S1P1 signaling pathways mod-el.After infection of 120 h,FoxO1,KLF2,S1P1 and CD62L mRNA levels and the protein expression of FoxO1,FoxO1-p and KLF2 were increased (P<0.05) in FoxO1-overexpression group.Converse results(P<0.05) were observed in the interference group.The proportions of S1P1+cells were increased in both groups.It was notably that S1P1+cells were decreased(P<0.05) in interference group after infection of 72 h.The proportion of CD62L+cells was increased(P<0.05) in overexpression group,it was decreased(P<0.05) in the interference group.This vitro experiments showed S1P1 and CD62L could be regulated by FoxO1 lentivirus,and provided an experimental basis for research about intracellular FoxO1-KLF2-S1P1 signaling pathways and cellular functions.
