Abstract Objective:Craniopharyngiomas are rare, histologically benign but clinically challenging neoplasms. Here, we aimed to interrogate the effect and significance of Phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) signaling pathway on papillary craniopharyngioma (PCP) cell growth and survival.Methods: We used Western blotting (WB) experiments to evaluate the expression of the PI3K/protein kinase B (AKT) in Craniopharyngiomas tissues, relative to health tissues. Primary tumor cells were obtained from fresh PCP samples by cell culture and then determined by cell morphology, immunofluorescence staining and expression of specific cell markers. In this study, PCP cell lines, isolated from fresh PCP samples, were treated with different concentrations of LY294002, a PI3K/AKT signaling inhibitor, to evaluate their proliferation, migration and invasion. We determined the cell proliferation using Cell Counting Kit-8 and colony formation. We then used flow cytometry to evaluate cell apoptosis and cell cycle. In addition, cell migration and invasion levels were determined by wound healing and Transwell assays, respectively.Results: Our data demonstrated that the expression of phosphorylated-PI3K/AKT was upregulated in human craniopharyngioma tissues compared to the normal control tissues. Immunofluorescence assays showed the presence of cytokeratin (pan CK) and vimentin protein (VIM) in the PCP primary cells. Furthermore, inhibition of PI3K/AKT signaling blocks the proliferation, migration and invasion of the PCP primary cells.Conclusions:Taken together, our data robustly demonstrates that the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway mediates the proliferation, migration and invasion of the PCP cells.

The aim of current study was to explore the mechanism of miR-142-5p in cervical cancer through mediating the PIK3AP1/P13K/AKT axis. To this end, RT-qPCR and Western blot analysis results revealed that miR-142-5p was poorly expressed, whereas PIK3AP1 was highly expressed in cervical cancer tissues and cells. Furthermore, miR-142-5p was hypermethylated in cervical cancer, as reflected by MS-PCR and ChIP assessment of enrichment of DNMT1/DNMT3a/DNMT3b in the promoter region of miR-142-5p. A target binding relationship between miR-142-5p and PIK3AP1 was established, showing that miR-142-5p targeted and inhibited the expression of PIK3AP1. Loss- and gain- function assays were conducted to determine the roles of miR-142-5p and PIK3AP1 in cervical cancer cells. CCK-8, flow cytometry and Transwell assay results revealed that overexpression of miR-142-5p in cervical cancer cells downregulated PIK3AP1 and inhibited the P13K/AKT signaling pathway, leading to reduced proliferation, migration, and invasion capacity of cervical cancer cells, but enhanced apoptosis. Collectively, epigenetic regulation of miR-142-5p targeted PIK3AP1 to inactivate the P13K/AKT signaling pathway, thus suppressing development of cervical cancer, which presents new targets for the treatment of cervical cancer.
