Abstract

The present study aimed to determine how the expression and function of HOTTIP modifies, and regulates the metabotropic glutamate receptor 1 (mGluR1) to affect human pancreatic cancer cell viability. HOTTIP expression was higher in human pancreatic cancer tissue compared with in para-carcinoma tissue. However, downregulation of HOTTIP expression was revealed to significantly reduce cell viability, induce apoptosis, promote caspase-3 and caspase-8 activities and increase Bax expression in pancreatic cancer cells. Additionally, downregulation of HOTTIP expression significantly suppressed mGluR1 and mitigated activation of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt/mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway in pancreatic cancer cells. To the best of our knowledge, the present study is the first to identify that the anticancer effect of HOTTIP against human pancreatic cancer functions the mGluR1 pathway.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.

AKT Pathway

This feed focuses on the AKT serine/threonine kinase, which is an important signaling pathway involved in processes such as glucose metabolism and cell survival.
