Effects of siRNA-Mediated Knockdown of HDAC1 on the Biological Behavior of Esophageal Carcinoma Cell Lines

Abstract

BackgroundHDAC1 has been shown to be closely associated with the occurrence of tumors. We aimed to investigate the effects of siRNA-mediated HDAC1 knockdown on the biological behavior of esophageal carcinoma cell lines.Material/MethodsHDAC1 expression in esophageal cancer cell lines TE-1, Eca109, and EC9706 was compared by Western blot analysis. These cells were transfected with siRNA-HDAC1 and cell proliferation was evaluated by MTT assay to select the optimum cell line for subsequent experiments. The effects of siRNA-HDAC1 on the migration and invasion of the selected cell line were assessed by transwell assay. The expression of cell cycle-related proteins cyclinD1, p21 and p27, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related protein zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1), E-cadherin and vimentin was determined by Western blot analysis.ResultsHDAC1 expression in TE-1, Eca109 and EC9706 cells was significantly higher compared with normal esophageal cell line HEEC (P<0.01). MTT assay, Western blot and RT-PCR analyses demonstrated that the inhibitory effects of siRNA on HDAC1 expression and cell viability in TE-1 cells were the highest among all cell lines, which was therefore used in subsequent experiments. After TE-1 cells were transfected with siRNA-HDAC1, their migration and invasion were significantly lower compared with the controls (P<0.01). CyclinD1 and vimentin expression was significantly lower compared with the controls (P<0.01), whereas the expression of p21, p27, ZO-1 and E-cadherin was significantly higher (P<0.01).ConclusionsThe siRNA-mediated HDAC1 knockdown significantly inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of TE-1 cells probably by regulating the expression of cell cycle- and EMT-related proteins.

MicroRNA-370 suppresses the retinal capillary endothelial cell growth by targeting KDR gene

“…Thus, the pro-apoptotic effect of miRNA-370 is functioned through these factors. Furthermore, the current study showed that the overexpression of miRNA-370 increased the expression of CyclinD1, p21 and p27, which are related to the regulation of cell cycle progression (19,20).…”

Propofol Inhibits Proliferation, Migration, Invasion and Promotes Apoptosis Through Down-Regulating miR-374a in Hepatocarcinoma Cell Lines

“…1B). As the first protein synthesized in the G1 phase, cyclinD1 acts a crucial role in cell cycle progression from G0/G1 phase to S phase [23]. Therefore, the down-regulation of cyclinD1 induced by propofol indicated an anti-proliferative role.…”

Suppression of histone deacetylase 1 by JSL-1 attenuates the progression and metastasis of cholangiocarcinoma via the TPX2/Snail axis

“…For example, HDAC1 has been demonstrated to be tumor promoter in a range of malignancies, covering gastrointestinal tumors such as colorectal cancer [ 18 ], and gastric cancer [ 19 ], as well as HCC [ 20 ] and ovarian cancer [ 21 ]. Inhibition of this HDAC has recently been corroborated to prevent the progression of gastric cancer [ 22 ] and esophageal carcinoma [ 23 ]. The major results from the present study revealed that HDAC1 was highly expressed in CC clinical samples and cells, whereas shRNA-induced silencing of HDAC1 contributed to prevention against CC progression, supported by the restrained proliferative, migratory and invasive capabilities of CC cells.…”
