Effect of cell migration-inducing hyaluronidase 1 on biological function of gallbladder cancer GBC-SD cells and its mechanism / 中华肝胆外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the effect of cell migration-inducing hyaluronidase 1 (CEMIP) on biological function of gallbladder cancer GBC-SD cells and its possible mechanism.Methods:The expression of CEMIP in biliary epithelial cell line HIBEC and gallbladder cancer cell line NOZ and GBC-SD was detected by Western blot. GBC-SD cells in logarithmic growth phase were divided into blank control group, negative control group (transfection with nonsense siRNA), siCEMIP-1 group (transfection with siCEMIP-1) and siCEMIP-2 group (transfection with siCEMIP-2). The expression of CEMIP and binding immunoglobulin protein (Bip) and calreticulin (CRT) in GBC-SD cells was detected by Western blot after culturing for 48h in blank control group, negative control group, siCEMIP-1 and siCEMIP-2 group. The relative survival rate was determined by CCK-8 assay. The wound healing rate and apoptotic rate was detected by wound healing assay and flow cytometry. The migration and invasion abilities were evaluated by Transwell chamber assay. Twelve 5-week-old BALB/c-nude mice were selected and divided into control group and experimental group (6 mice in each group). GBC-SD cells and GBC-SD cells with silenced CEMIP were subcutaneously injected into the right armpit (forelimb) of the two groups of mice, respectively. The volume and weight of transplanted tumor were compared 33 days later.Results:Compared with HIBEC cells, the relative protein level of CEMIP in gallbladder cancer GBC-SD cells [(0.750±0.034) vs. (0.120±0.002)] and NOZ cells [(0.690±0.013) vs. (0.120±0.002)] was significantly higher ( P<0.05). Compared with blank control group and negative control group, the relative protein level of CEMIP, Bip and CRT in siCEMIP-1 group and siCEMIP-2 group was significantly lower ( P<0.05). Compared with blank control group and negative control group, the relative survival rate and wound healing rate and number of migration cells and invading cells in siCEMIP-1 group and siCEMIP-2 group were also significantly lower ( P<0.05). While the apoptotic rate in siCEMIP-1 group and siCEMIP-2 group were higher than that in blank control group and negative control group ( P<0.05). Compared with control group, the average tumor volume [(543.6±114.7) vs. (801.5±256.3) mm 3] and tumor weight [(0.453±0.093) vs. (0.728±0.278) g ] of the experimental group was significantly decreased ( P<0.05). Conclusions:CEMIP was up-regulated in gallbladder cancer cell line GBC-SD and NOZ. Silencing CEMIP inhibited cell proliferation, wound healing rate, migration and invasion, and promoted apoptosis in gallbladder cancer GBC-SD cells, which may be related to the inhibition of endoplasmic reticulum chaperone Bip and CRT expression.
