Abstract

The aim of the study was to investigate the role of shugoshinl (SGO1) in human prostate cancer (PCa). Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to determine the expression of SGO1 in PCa tissues and cell lines. The correlation between SGO1 expression and clinicopathological characteristics of PCa patients was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier analysis. SGO1 siRNA was successfully constructed and transfected into PCa cell lines (LNCaP and PC3). The knockdown efficacy was assessed by qRT-PCR. MTT assay and Transwell assay were conducted to observe the effect of SGO1 on the proliferation and invasion of PCa cell lines. SGO1-expression levels were found to be higher in the PCa tissues and cell lines. Correlation was identified between the expression of SGO1 and preoperative prostate-specific antigen (P=0.017), lymph-node metastasis (P=0.044), and Gleason score (P=0.041). Patients with higher SGO1 expression displayed more advanced clinicopathological characteristics in addition to a shorter biochemical recurrence-free survival time. Additionally, SGO1 knockdown resulted in the inhibition of PCa cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Taken together, the findings of the current study present evidence suggesting that SGO1 could in...Continue Reading

Cell Migration in Cancer and Metastasis

Migration of cancer cells into surrounding tissue and the vasculature is an initial step in tumor metastasis. Discover the latest research on cell migration in cancer and metastasis here.

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.
