Description
Abstract
Background. In recent years, 3'-
phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphosulfate synthase 1
(PAPSS1) has been found to be highly expressed in
some cancers and significantly associated with
prognosis. Nevertheless, the role of PAPSS1 in
esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is poorly
understood.
Methods. In this study, PAPSS1 expression in ESCC
samples was researched through real-time quantitative
polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), immunohistochemistry (IHC), and western blot (WB) techniques.
siRNA technology was then used to inhibit PAPSS1
expression in ESCC cells, and cytologic tests were
conducted to research gene affection on cell apoptosis,
proliferation, and migration. Then, the expression of
Bcl2, Ki67, and Snail was detected using qPCR and WB
tests. These experimental data were analyzed by
GraphPad software, where the P-value <0.05 was
statistically significant.
Results. The results showed that PAPSS1 expression
level in ESCC tissues was higher than in the adjacent
tissues. The data also showed that PAPSS1 was
significantly correlated with N stage, and that the
patients with high expressions had longer survival time.
After transfection for 48 hours, the cell apoptosis rate of
siRNA-PAPSS1 transfected groups decreased
significantly, whereas the cell proliferation rate and
migration ability increased relative to the control. At the
same time, the expression levels of Bcl2, Ki67 and Snail
were all upregulated by siRNA-PAPSS1. PAPSS1,
however, was suppressed.
Conclusions. PAPSS1 may be an ESCC suppressor
gene, and its specific molecular mechanism in ESCC
needs to be further studied.
