Downregulation of cell surface CA125/MUC16 induces epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and restores EGFR signalling in NIH:OVCAR3 ovarian carcinoma cells

Abstract: Background:Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) cells are prone to metastasise throughout the peritoneal cavity. The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a necessary step towards metastatic tumour progression. CA125/MUC16 mucin is a high-molecular-weight glycoprotein overexpressed in the majority of serous carcinomas, suggesting a possible role in the pathogenesis of these cancers.Methods:The role of CA125/MUC16 in EMT was investigated using single-chain antibody-mediated knockdown of cell surface CA125/MU… Show more

“…Also the increased cyclin A2 expression in migratory cells is an indication against EMT [58]. The only hint for maybe a partial EMT might the down-regulation of Muc16 in migratory cells [59]. Generally, the lack of detectable EMT in migratory RGM-1 cells is comparable with the situation in another non-transformed cell line, i.e.…”

“…Both MUC1 and EGFR are expressed by trophoblast and could conceivably interact at these surfaces; however, MUC1:EGFR interactions have not be demonstrated in trophoblast either. TMs also are implicated in promoting epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (Comamala et al 2011 ;Ponnusamy et al 2013 ), although the relevance of this response to implantation is not clear.…”

“…CA125 is a repeating peptide epitope of the mucin MUC16 [17,18], which promotes cancer cell proliferation and inhibits anti-cancer immune responses [19][20][21][22]. CA125 has been extensively investigated as a biomarker in three separate clinical scenarios as a screening test for the early detection of cancer, to distinguish between benign and malignant disease and to monitor response to therapy.…”
