Abstract
Ovarian cancer caused the highest cancer-related mortality among female reproductive system malignancies. Platinum-based chemotherapy is still the footstone of the chemotherapy for ovarian cancer. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying cisplatin insensitivity and resistance remain unclear. SHC SH2 domain-binding protein 1 (SHCBP1) plays critical roles in the progression and drug resistance of different types of cancer. However, the biological function of SHCBP1 in ovarian cancer progression and cisplatin resistance remains obscure. In this study, we found that SHCBP1 was upregulated in ovarian cancer and the upregulated SHCBP1 has growth-promoting effect on ovarian cancer cells. Furthermore, SHCBP1 silencing sensitize ovarian cancer cells to cisplatin (hereafter referred to as CDDP). Mechanism analysis revealed that SHCBP1 activated the Akt/mTOR pathway and further inhibited autophagy in ovarian cancer cells. Meanwhile, autophagy inhibitors combined with SHCBP1 knockdown enhances CDDP sensitivity. In addition, knockdown of SHCBP1 restricted the proliferation of tumors and increased the cisplatin sensitivity in vivo. These findings suggested that upregulated SHCBP1 promoted the proliferation and CDDP resistance of ovarian cancer. The combination of SHCBP1 inhibition and cisplatin treatment might lead to substantial progress in ovarian cancer targeted therapy.
期刊介绍:
Apoptosis, a monthly international peer-reviewed journal, focuses on the rapid publication of innovative investigations into programmed cell death. The journal aims to stimulate research on the mechanisms and role of apoptosis in various human diseases, such as cancer, autoimmune disease, viral infection, AIDS, cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative disorders, osteoporosis, and aging. The Editor-In-Chief acknowledges the importance of advancing clinical therapies for apoptosis-related diseases. Apoptosis considers Original Articles, Reviews, Short Communications, Letters to the Editor, and Book Reviews for publication.
