CIAPIN1 Targeted NHE1 and ERK1/2 to Suppress NSCLC Cells’ Metastasis and Predicted Good Prognosis in NSCLC Patients Receiving Pulmonectomy

Abstract

Objective. Cytokine-induced apoptosis inhibitor 1 (CIAPIN1) acts as a downstream effector of the receptor tyrosine kinase-Ras signaling pathway and has been reported as a candidate tumor suppressor gene in various cancers. Our current study was aimed at investigating the prognostic impact of CIAPIN1 on Non-Small-Cell Lung Carcinoma (NSCLC) patients and the effect of CIAPIN1 on NSCLC A549 cells’ metastasis. Methods. Western blot analysis was applied to detect CIAPIN1 expression; Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to evaluate the effect of CIAPIN1 on NSCLC patients’ prognosis. Wound healing assay, Transwell chamber invasion analysis, and tumorigenicity assay in BALB/c nude mice were used to measure the metastasis potential of A549 cells. Results. We found that CIAPIN1 overexpression indicated good survival duration during the follow-up period. CIAPIN1 overexpression inhibited the migration, invasion, MMPs, and EMT-associated markers in A549 cells. Further, NHE1 (Na+/H+ exchanger 1) expression and ERK1/2 phosphorylation decreased along with CIAPIN1 upregulation. Importantly, treating A549 cells with CIAPIN1 overexpression with the NHE1-specific inhibitor, Cariporide, further inhibited the metastatic capacity, MMP expression, EMT-associated markers, and phosphorylated ERK1/2. Treatment with the MEK1-specific inhibitor, PD98059, induced nearly the same suppression of CIAPIN1 overexpression-dependent metastatic capacity, MMP expression, and EMT-associated markers as was observed with Cariporide. Further, Cariporide and PD98059 exert synergistical suppression of A549 cells’ metastatic capacity. Conclusion. Thus, the current results implied a potential management by which CIAPIN1 upregulation may have a crucial effect on the suppression of NSCLC, indicating that overexpression of CIAPIN1 might serve as a combination with chemotherapeutical agents in NSCLC therapy.

“…In our research, TEER calculated values were confirmed whether the Caco-2 confluent Transwell® monolayer culture was suitable for the permeation experiments [ 25 ]. The values increased while the culture time was extended, and it reached over 500 Ω ·cm 2 after the incubation, and the data is shown in Figure 4(b) .…”

TOP2A Promotes Lung Adenocarcinoma Cells' Malignant Progression and Predicts Poor Prognosis in Lung Adenocarcinoma

“…Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related mortality in the world and composed of small-cell lung cancer and non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) [1]. NSCLC accounts for more than 80% of the diagnosed lung cancer [2,3]. Although improved methods of detection and management of…”

Network pharmacology‑based study to explore the mechanism of the Yiqi Gubiao pill in lung cancer treatment

“…The ratio of albumin-to-fibrinogen has been used as a biomarker to judge the clinical prognosis of patients with NSCLS ( 25 ). Studies have reported that the ERK1 signaling pathway plays a key role in promoting the proliferation of NSCLC mesenchymal stem cells ( 26 , 27 ). As such, blocking the ERK signaling pathway improves the therapeutic response of patients with NSCLC to EGFR inhibitors ( 28 ).…”
