Abstract |
Background |
The over-expression of melanoma-associated antigen (MAGE)-A3 in cervical cancer (CC) has been observed in our previous study, suggesting that it possibly take a vital role during the development and metastasis of CC. The present study aimed to investigate the biological function of MAGE-A3 in the progression of CC and explore how it executes its roles.
Methods |
The mRNA expression of MAGE-A3 in End1/E6E7 and CC cell lines (HeLa, SiHa and C33A) was measured by real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR). Loss- and gain-of-function methods were used to assess the effect of MAGE-A3 on the proliferative, migratory and invasive abilities of HeLa and SiHa cells. Western blot was performed to measure the expression levels of proteins related to epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) and proteins in the Wnt signaling pathway. In vivo tumorigenesis assay was conducted to evaluate the effect of MAGE-A3 on tumor growth.
Results |
MAGE-A3 expression was significantly up-regulated in CC cell lines (HeLa, SiHa and C33A) compared with that in End1/E6E7 cell line. Knockdown of MAGE-A3 could significantly suppress migration, invasion and proliferation in HeLa cells; whereas, overexpression of MAGE-A3 in SiHa cells presented the opposite results. Moreover, knockdown of MAGE-A3 presented a suppressive effect on the activation of EMT and Wnt signaling pathway in HeLa cells, whilst up-regulation of MAGE-A3 exhibited the opponent outcomes in SiHa cells. Through in vivo tumorigenesis assay, we further verified that MAGE-A3 acted as a facilitator in tumor growth.
Conclusions |
MAGE-A3 is overexpressed in CC cells and possibly facilitates the viability and motility of CC cells via modulating EMT and Wnt signaling. This study implied that MAGE-A3 might be a potential therapeutic target as well as a prognosis predictor for patients with CC.
