HOXA9 promotes proliferation, metastasis and prevents apoptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma
Purpose
This research aimed to evaluate the expression level of Homeobox A9 (HOXA9) and its role in tumorigenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Methods
Bioinformatic analysis, qPCR and Western blot analysis of clinical samples were employed to evaluate mRNA and protein levels of HOXA9 in HCC patients and cell lines. In vitro cell proliferation, migration and invasion, cloning formation, xenograft tumor model, wound healing and apoptosis assays, RNA sequencing analysis of RPL38-silenced HCC-LM3 cells and qPCR, Western blot analysis were performed for validation. Analysis of HOXA9-related genes were conducted to identify their relationships between HOXA9.
Results
HOXA9 is dramatically upregulated in HCC. Upregulation of HOXA9 in HCC predicts poor survival of patients. Besides, HOXA9 promotes proliferation, metastasis and prevents apoptosis in HCC in vitro. In addition, HOXA9 controlled by Ribosomal protein RPL38 is upregulated in HCC. Bioinformatic analysis also indicated that HOXA9 is involved in the regulation of DNA methylation and immune infiltration in HCC.
Conclusion
HOXA9 is dramatically upregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma and predicts poor prognosis. Besides, HOXA9 promoted proliferation and metastasis and prevented apoptosis in vitro, which is regulated by Ribosomal protein RPL38 in HCC.
