Wilms' tumour is the most prevalent abdominal malignancy in children. This study focused on the mechanism of the /Dickkopf 1 () axis in Wilms' tumour.
The mRNA levels of and in 49 pairs of Wilms' tumour pathological specimens and normal tissues were determined using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Wilms' tumour cells' invasion ability and proliferative ability were assessed using a Transwell assay and Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, respectively. Dual-luciferase assay was performed to evaluate the potential relationship between and in Wilms tumour. Furthermore, a mouse transplanted tumour model was constructed to explore the function of inhibitor on Wilms' tumour growth .
emerged as a target gene of in Wilms' tumour. expression was downregulated ( < 0.01), but was overexpressed ( < 0.01) in Wilms' tumour tissues compared to normal tissues. overexpression accelerated Wilms' tumour invasive ability and cell proliferation ( < 0.01). Additionally, partially reversed -induced proliferation ( < 0.05) and invasion ability ( < 0.01). Furthermore, downregulation of restrained the growth rate of transplanted tumours in nude mice ( < 0.01).
Through the regulation of , accelerated the invasion and proliferation of Wilms' tumour. The study suggests that the / axis represents a novel mechanism in Wilms' tumour.
肾母细胞瘤是儿童最常见的腹部恶性肿瘤。本研究聚焦于 Dickkopf 1 () 轴在肾母细胞瘤中的作用机制。
采用实时定量聚合酶链反应(RT-qPCR)检测 49 对肾母细胞瘤病理标本和正常组织中 和 的 mRNA 水平。通过 Transwell 实验和细胞计数试剂盒-8(CCK-8)实验分别评估肾母细胞瘤细胞的侵袭能力和增殖能力。双荧光素酶报告基因实验评估 与 在肾母细胞瘤中的潜在关系。此外,构建了小鼠移植瘤模型,以探讨 Dickkopf 1 抑制剂对肾母细胞瘤生长的作用。
结果表明,在肾母细胞瘤中, 是 的靶基因。与正常组织相比,肾母细胞瘤组织中 表达下调( < 0.01),而 过表达( < 0.01)。 过表达可加速肾母细胞瘤的侵袭能力和细胞增殖( < 0.01)。此外, 部分逆转了 -诱导的增殖( < 0.05)和侵袭能力( < 0.01)。此外,下调 可抑制裸鼠移植瘤的生长速度( < 0.01)。
通过调节 , 加速了肾母细胞瘤的侵袭和增殖。该研究表明,/Dickkopf 1 轴在肾母细胞瘤中代表了一种新的作用机制。
