Abstract
Family with sequence similarity 134, member B (FAM134B) is an autophagy regulator of endoplasmic reticulum first discovered to be involved in the pathogenesis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The present study examined the functional behavior of FAM134B in cancer cells and the association of FAM134B expression with clinicopathologic factors in patients with ESCC. Expression at both the mRNA and protein levels was investigated using real-time polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry. The results were correlated with the clinical and pathological features of the patients. In addition, in vitro functional assays were used to investigate the roles of FAM134B in ESCC cells in response to gene silencing with shRNA lentiviral particles. Overexpression of FAM134B mRNA and protein was present in 31.2% (n = 29/93) and 36.6% (n = 41/112), respectively, in tumors, whereas downregulation occurred in 39.8% (n = 37/93) and 63.4% (n = 71/112), respectively. Expression of FAM134B protein in ESCC correlated with histologic grade (P = .002) and pathologic stage (P = .012). In vitro suppression of FAM134B in ESCC induced significant reductions of cell proliferation and colony formation (P < .05). In addition, suppression of ...Continue Reading
