Rab11 family-interacting protein 2 (Rab11-FIP2) can interact with MYO5B and plays an important role in regulating plasma membrane recycling. However, little is known about the clinical significance of DUSP2 in colorectal cancer (CRC).
In this study, we investigated Rab11-FIP2 expression by immunohistochemistry in 125 patients with colorectal cancer. Conditioned media containing all secreted factors was harvested. Chemokine secretion and expression were analyzed by Chemi-array.
We found that the expression level of Rab11-FIP2 was significantly increased in colorectal cancer tissues and high expression of Rab11-FIP2 was closely correlated with nodal metastasis in colorectal cancer patients. Rab11-FIP2 overexpression promoted colorectal cancer metastasis in vitro and in vivo. Finally, we demonstrated that Rab11-FIP2 overexpression may contribute to increased secretion of PAI-1 in human colorectal cancer cells.
Our findings reveal a novel mechanism underlying the role of Rab11-FIP2 in colorectal cancer dissemination, suggesting that targeting Rab11-FIP2 might be a promising therapeutic strategy for CRC.
Rab11家族相互作用蛋白2(Rab11-FIP2)可与MYO5B相互作用,并在调节质膜循环中发挥重要作用。然而,关于双特异性磷酸酶2(DUSP2)在结直肠癌(CRC)中的临床意义知之甚少。
在本研究中,我们通过免疫组织化学检测了125例结直肠癌患者中Rab11-FIP2的表达情况。收集含有所有分泌因子的条件培养基。通过化学阵列分析趋化因子的分泌和表达。
我们发现Rab11-FIP2在结直肠癌组织中的表达水平显著升高,且Rab11-FIP2的高表达与结直肠癌患者的淋巴结转移密切相关。Rab11-FIP2过表达在体外和体内均促进结直肠癌转移。最后,我们证明Rab11-FIP2过表达可能导致人结直肠癌细胞中纤溶酶原激活物抑制因子-1(PAI-1)分泌增加。
我们的研究结果揭示了Rab11-FIP2在结直肠癌播散中作用的一种新机制,表明靶向Rab11-FIP2可能是一种有前景的CRC治疗策略。
