Abstract Background Slug (Snai2) is a pivotal player in initiating epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) through its trans-suppression effect on E-cadherin in various normal and malignant cells. In this study, the positive effect of Slug on promoting cell motility and metastasis in cervical cancer was further confirmed in this study. Methods RNA-Seq was performed to explore the potential molecules that participate in Slug-mediated EMT in cervical cancer cells. The negative correlation between Slug and EpCAM expression in cervical cancer cells was detected in this study, and linked them with in vitro migration and invasion assay, in vivo metastasis experiments, luciferase reporter assay and Chromatin immunoprecipitation. Results Transcriptome sequencing analysis revealed that epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) was significantly decreased in Slug-overexpressing SiHa cells. Simultaneously, an absence of EpCAM expression was observed in Slug-overexpressing cells. Further studies revealed the trans-suppression effect of Slug on EpCAM through its binding to the E-boxes in the proximal promoter region of EpCAM in cervical cancer cells. Restoring EpCAM in Slug-overexpressing cells by transiently transfecting an EpCAM recombinant plasmid attenuated cell motility and promoted cell growth. Moreover, the negative correlation between Slug and EpCAM expression in human squamous cervical carcinoma (SCC) samples was verified by using Pearson correlation analysis. Conclusions These results demonstrated that the absence of EpCAM under Slug expression in cervical cancer cells probably participated in Slug-regulated EMT and further promoted tumor metastasis. Additionally, this study supports a potential way for Slug to initiate EMT progression in cervical cancer cells in addition to inhibiting E-cadherin.

E Cadherin

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is closely related to the migrating and invading behaviors of cells. Periostin is one of the essential components in the extracellular matrix and can induce EMT of cells and their sequential metastasis. But its underlying mechanism is unclear. The Hela and BMSC cell lines were assigned into Periostin-mimic group, Periostin-Inhibitor group and Periostin-NC group followed by analysis of cell migration and invasion, expression of E-Cadherin, Vimentin, β-Catenin, Snail, MMP-2, MMP-9, PTEN, and p-PTEN. Cells in Periostin-mimic group exhibited lowest migration, least number of invaded cells, as well as lowest levels of Vimentin, β-Catenin, Snail, MMP-2, MMP-9, p-PTEN, Akt, p-Akt, p-GSK-3β, p-PDK1 and p-cRcf, along with highest levels of E-cadherin and PTEN. Moreover, cells in Periostin-NC group had intermediate levels of these above indicators, while, the Periostin-Inhibitor group exhibited the highest migration rate, the most number of invaded cells, and the highest levels of these proteins (P < 0.05). In conclusion, BMSCs-derived Periostin can influence the EMT of cervical cancer cells possibly through restraining the activity of the PI3K/AKT signal transduction pathway, indicating that Periostin might be a target of chemotherapy in clinics for the treatment of cervical cancer.

Abstract Background Accumulating evidence indicates that CD36 initiates metastasis and correlates with an unfavorable prognosis in cancers. However, there are few reports regarding the roles of CD36 in initiation and metastasis of cervical cancer. Methods Using immunohistochemistry, we analyzed 133 cervical cancer samples for CD36 protein expression levels, and then investigated the correlation between changes in its expression and clinicopathologic parameters. The effect of CD36 expression on the epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) in cervical cancer cells was evaluated by Western immunoblotting analysis. In vitro invasion and in vivo metastasis assays were also used to evaluate the role of CD36 in cervical cancer metastasis. Results In the present study, we confirmed that CD36 was highly expressed in cervical cancer samples relative to normal cervical tissues. Moreover, overexpression of CD36 promoted invasiveness and metastasis of cervical cancer cells in vitro and in vivo, while CD36 knockdown suppressed proliferation, migration, and invasiveness. We demonstrated that TGF-β treatment attenuated E-cadherin expression and enhanced the expression levels of CD36, vimentin, slug, snail, and twist in si-SiHa, si-HeLa, and C33a–CD36 cells, suggesting that TGF-β synergized with CD36 on EMT via active CD36 expression. We also observed that the expression levels of TGF-β in si-SiHa cells and si-HeLa cells were down-regulated, whereas the expression levels of TGF-β were up-regulated in C33a–CD36 cells. These results imply that CD36 and TGF-β interact with each other to promote the EMT in cervical cancer. Conclusions Our findings suggest that CD36 is likely to be an effective target for guiding individualized clinical therapy of cervical cancer.
