The wild-type p53 induced phosphatase 1 (WIP1) is an oncogene overexpressed in a variety of human cancers. Here, we demonstrated that WIP1 silencing reduced MMP-9 and VEGF-C expression as well as migration and invasion of salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) cells. Overexpression of MMP-9 or VEGF-C restored migration and invasion in WIP1 knockdown cells, indicating that MMP-9 and VEGF-C are downstream targets of WIP1 signaling. Levels of cyclin D1 and c-Myc, targets of Wnt/β-catenin pathway, were significantly decreased by WIP1 silencing. In addition, WIP1 expression was positively associated with metastasis and prognosis of ACC patients as well as with MMP-9 or VEGF-C in ACC tissues.
野生型p53诱导磷酸酶1(WIP1)是一种在多种人类癌症中过表达的癌基因。在此,我们证明WIP1沉默可降低基质金属蛋白酶-9(MMP-9)和血管内皮生长因子C(VEGF-C)的表达以及涎腺腺样囊性癌(ACC)细胞的迁移和侵袭能力。MMP-9或VEGF-C的过表达可恢复WIP1敲低细胞的迁移和侵袭能力,表明MMP-9和VEGF-C是WIP1信号通路的下游靶点。Wnt/β-连环蛋白通路的靶点细胞周期蛋白D1和c-Myc的水平因WIP1沉默而显著降低。此外,WIP1表达与ACC患者的转移和预后以及ACC组织中的MMP-9或VEGF-C呈正相关。
