IL-11 exerts important functions involved in tumorigenesis and cancer progression. However, the underlying functional role of IL-11 in esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC) is not well known. In this paper, we demonstrated that IL-11 expression was increased in esophageal cancer compared with normal tissues, whereas knockdown of IL-11 could inhibit the proliferation and invasion of Eca109 and KYSE410 ESCC cells. Besides, we found that the stability and expression of IL-11 was regulated by lnc-ATB in Eca109 and KYSE410 ESCC cells. More importantly, we found that knockdown of IL-11 partly abolished lnc-ATB-mediated the proliferation and invasion of Eca109 and KYSE410 ESCC cells. Collectively, these results indicated that IL-11 mediated by lnc-ATB increased the proliferation and invasion of ESCC cells, which may provide a promising therapeutic option for suppressing ESCC progression.
IL-11 在肿瘤发生和癌症进展中发挥着重要作用。然而,IL-11 在食管鳞状细胞癌(ESCC)中的潜在功能作用尚不清楚。在本文中,我们证明与正常组织相比,食管癌组织中 IL-11 的表达增加,而敲低 IL-11 可抑制 Eca109 和 KYSE410 ESCC 细胞的增殖和侵袭。此外,我们发现 lnc-ATB 调节 Eca109 和 KYSE410 ESCC 细胞中 IL-11 的稳定性和表达。更重要的是,我们发现敲低 IL-11 部分消除了 lnc-ATB 介导的 Eca109 和 KYSE410 ESCC 细胞的增殖和侵袭。总之,这些结果表明,lnc-ATB 介导的 IL-11 增加了 ESCC 细胞的增殖和侵袭,这可能为抑制 ESCC 进展提供了一种有前途的治疗选择。
