Abstract

Sirtuin 7 (Sirt7) is a member of the sirtuin protein family and is implicated in various carcinomas; however, the function of Sirt7 in colorectal carcinoma (CRC) remains unclear. The present study aimed to explore the biological function of Sirt7 in CRC tissues and cell lines, and to investigate the potential underlying mechanism by performing reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction analyses, western blot analyses, luciferase reporter assays, cell proliferation and invasion assays. It was demonstrated that Sirt7 presented a higher expression in CRC tissues and cell lines compared with that in normal tissues and cells, and this higher expression was correlated with the tumor size, the tumor, node and metastasis stage and distant metastasis. Knockdown of Sirt7 repressed the proliferation ability of SW620 and HCT116 cellsin vitro, while ectopic expression of Sirt7 increased the epithelial-mesenchymal transition and invasion in HT29 and SW480 cells. Notably, these functional effects of Sirt7 were exerted through the repression of E-cadherin. Thus, the data of the present study indicated a novel mechanistic role for Sirt7 as an oncogene in CRC malignancy, and Sirt7 may be a potential therapeutic target.

Cadherins and Catenins

Cadherins (named for "calcium-dependent adhesion") are a type of cell adhesion molecule (CAM) that is important in the formation of adherens junctions to bind cells with each other. Catenins are a family of proteins found in complexes with cadherin cell adhesion molecules of animal cells: alpha-catenin can bind to β-catenin and can also bind actin. β-catenin binds the cytoplasmic domain of some cadherins.
