This study aimed to investigate the functions of and in esophageal cancer (EC). Bioinformatics analysis, qRT-PCR and western blot were used to analyze the expression levels. Biological functions were evaluated using cell-counting kit 8, colony formation, Transwell assays and flow cytometry. FISH was used to detect subcellular localization, and methylation-specific PCR determined gene methylation levels. Animal experiments validated the impact on tumor progression. and were highly methylated and downregulated in EC. Overexpression of up-regulated the expression of , thereby inhibiting EC cell viability and metastasis, promoting apoptosis and inhibiting tumor growth. Low expression of / mediated by DNA hypermethylation facilitates the malignant progression of EC.
本研究旨在探讨 和 在食管癌(EC)中的作用。采用生物信息学分析、qRT-PCR 和 Western blot 分析其表达水平。通过细胞计数试剂盒 8、集落形成、Transwell 检测和流式细胞术评估生物学功能。荧光原位杂交(FISH)用于检测亚细胞定位,甲基化特异性 PCR 检测基因甲基化水平。动物实验验证了其对肿瘤进展的影响。在 EC 中, 和 高度甲基化和下调。过表达 上调 的表达,从而抑制 EC 细胞活力和转移,促进细胞凋亡和抑制肿瘤生长。DNA 高甲基化介导的 / 低表达促进 EC 的恶性进展。
