XPNPEP2 is overexpressed in cervical cancer and promotes cervical cancer metastasis

Abstract: XPNPEP2 is a proline hydrolytic enzyme that hydrolyzes several biologically active peptides and causes a loss of substrate activity. However, its function in cancer is still unknown. Our study showed that XPNPEP2 expression was significantly upregulated in cervical cancer tissues compared with normal cervical tissues and cervical intraepithelial neoplasm tissues. Statistical analysis showed that XPNPEP2 expression was associated with the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage and lymph nod… Show more

“…Although it is known that this aminopeptidase activates growth factors, hormones, coagulants, toxins, cytokines and neurotransmitters [115], the role of XPNPEP2 in cancer is still unknown. It is known that XPNPEP2 is overexpressed in cervical cancer, promoting cell invasion and migration without affecting cell proliferation and apoptosis [116]. Our gene expression results corroborate these findings and point out that XPNPEP2 can be up-regulated in GBM.…”

“…XPNPEP2 serves a vital role in the ovarian breakdown and follicular dysplasia induced by hexavalent chromium in rat germ cells (33). XPNPEP2 overexpression is also observed in cervical cancer tissues, and is associated with pathological staging, lymph node metastasis and poor OS (34), which coincides with the results from the present study findings in the XPNPEP2 study in OSC, in renal clear cell carcinoma (CCRCC) (35) and in advanced gastric cancer (36).…”

“…MMP9 is a member of the matrix metalloproteinase family, which has a role in degradation of the extracellular matrix and promotes tumor invasion and metastasis 26 . XPNPEP2 (also known as aminopeptidase P) was reported to facilitate cervical cancer cell invasion and migration by mediating the EMT) 27 . GSEA 25 showed that 15 pathways were significantly enriched in thrombi, most of which were related to the immune response, such as the lymphocyte proliferation, lysosome, and inflammatory response pathway.…”
