Reduced expression of SIRT2 in serous ovarian carcinoma promotes cell proliferation, migration and invasion / 中国病理生理杂志

ABSTRACT

[ ABSTRACT] AIM:To compare the expression of SIRT2 in ovarian surface epithelial ( OSE) cell line and serous ovarian carcinoma ( SOC) cell lines, and to investigate the effects of SIRT2 on the cell proliferation, migration and inva-sion.METHODS:The expression levels of SIRT2 in the OSE cell line and the SOC cell lines were determined by Western blot.The SIRT2 siRNAs and overexpression construct were designed and verified.Transient transfection of SIRT2 siRNAs or overexpression construct was performed, and the effect of SIRT2 on the cell proliferation, migration and invasion was e-valuated.RESULTS:SIRT2 levels in the 5 strains of SOC cell lines were significantly lower than that in the OSE cell line.SIRT2 knockdown in HOSEpiC cells significantly enhanced the ability of cell colony formation and accelerated the cell growth rate.On the contrary, overexpression of SIRT2 in HO8910 cells dramatically repressed the number of cell colonies and cell activity.SIRT2 significantly changed the ability of ovarian cell migration.Knockdown of SIRT2 facilitated the cell invasion.CONCLUSION:The expression of SIRT2 in the SOC cells is significantly down-regulated.In the OSE cells, SIRT2 acts as a tumor suppressor and mediates the inhibition of cell proliferation, migration and invasion.
