Abstract

Background

Tristetraprolin (TTP) can inhibit the abnormal proliferation of malignant tumors but there are no studies involving TTP and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). We aimed to determine the effect of TTP on ESCC cell proliferation and to elucidate the underlying mechanism.

Methods

The human ESCC cell line, KYSE-510, and the human ESCC cell line, KYSE-150, stably infected with tetracycline-inducible expression (Tet-on-TTP and Tet-on-EV, respectively) were screened with puromycin. After Tet-on-TTP KYSE-150 cells were treated with different concentrations of doxycycline [Dox] (0, 0.5, and 1 ug/mL), the levels of TTP mRNA and protein expression were detected by real-time ﬂuorescent quantitative PCR and western blotting, respectively. The effects of TTP on proliferation and migration were estimated by CCK-8 and Transwell assays, respectively. Cell apoptosis and cell cycle were measured by flow cytometry. Cellular apoptosis-related gene protein expression was determined by western blotting.

Results

TTP overexpression signiﬁcantly inhibited KYSE-510 and KYSE-150 proliferation. TTP overexpression also signiﬁcantly inhibited KYSE-150 migration. In addition, TTP expression upregulation promoted the KYSE-150 apoptosis and induced cell cycle arrest in the G₂ phase, downregulated Bcl-2 expression, and upregulated Bax expression.

Conclusion

TTP inhibited ESCC cell proliferation, promoted ESCC cell apoptosis, and arrested cell cycle progression in the G₂ phase.

期刊介绍： Tissue and Cell is devoted to original research on the organization of cells, subcellular and extracellular components at all levels, including the grouping and interrelations of cells in tissues and organs. The journal encourages submission of ultrastructural studies that provide novel insights into structure, function and physiology of cells and tissues, in health and disease. Bioengineering and stem cells studies focused on the description of morphological and/or histological data are also welcomed. Studies investigating the effect of compounds and/or substances on structure of cells and tissues are generally outside the scope of this journal. For consideration, studies should contain a clear rationale on the use of (a) given substance(s), have a compelling morphological and structural focus and present novel incremental findings from previous literature.
