To explore the impact of up- or down-regulation of Neurofibromin 2 (NF2) on the expression of downstream Hippo pathway genes, large tumor suppressor gene1 (LATS1), and phosphorylation of Mammalian Ste2-like kinases1/2 (MST1/2), in lung cancer cells.
A549 lung cancer cells were used. The NF2 was down-regulated by si-RNA interference and upregulated by lentiviral vector mediated overexpression. The LATS1 and MST1/2 expressions were evaluated by real-time PCR and western blot.
Down-regulation of NF2 decreased LATS1 and MST1/2 level (P<0.05). Overexpression of NF2 increased LATS1 (P<0.05) and Mammalian Ste2-like kinases1 (MST1) (P<0.05), suggesting LATS1 and MST1 are modulated by NF2 in a lung cancer cell line.
NF2 mediates the downstream LATS1 and MST1/2 expressions in a lung cancer cell line.
探讨上调或下调神经纤维瘤蛋白2（NF2）对肺癌细胞中河马通路下游基因大肿瘤抑制基因1（LATS1）的表达以及哺乳动物Ste2样激酶1/2（MST1/2）磷酸化的影响。
采用A549肺癌细胞。通过小干扰RNA（si-RNA）干扰下调NF2，并通过慢病毒载体介导的过表达上调NF2。通过实时聚合酶链反应（PCR）和蛋白质免疫印迹法评估LATS1和MST1/2的表达。
下调NF2降低了LATS1和MST1/2水平（P<0.05）。NF2过表达增加了LATS1（P<0.05）和哺乳动物Ste2样激酶1（MST1）（P<0.05），表明在肺癌细胞系中LATS1和MST1受NF2调节。
在肺癌细胞系中，NF2介导下游LATS1和MST1/2的表达。
