摘要: 目的 探讨YAP1-FOS在促进口腔鳞状上皮细胞癌(OSCC)细胞的增殖,迁移及EMT转换过程中发挥的功能。方法 通过组织免疫荧光实验检测OSCC癌组织及周围正常组织中YAP1的表达及亚细胞定位,细胞克隆形成实验检测YAP1对OSCC细胞增殖情况的影响,细胞划痕实验检测YAP1对OSCC细胞迁移的影响,Western Blot检测YAP1对EMT相关分子标记基因蛋白表达的影响,RT-PCR检测YAP1对EMT相关分子标记基因转录水平变化的影响,CoIP及免疫印迹实验检测YAP1与FOS互作,共同调控下游基因表达以控制EMT转换过程。结果 组织免疫荧光实验结果显示,OSCC癌组织细胞中YAP1表达增加,且由细胞质转移至细胞核;细胞克隆形成实验结果显示,YAP1上调后克隆形成数目显著增加(P<0.01);细胞划痕实验结果显示,过表达YAP1后,细胞划痕间距显著减小(P<0.01);Western Blot及RT-PCR结果显示,上皮细胞关键基因E-cadherin表达水平在YAP1上调后被显著抑制(P<0.01),而间质细胞关键基因β- catenin,Vimentin及N-cadherin表达水平则显著上调(P<0.01)。CoIP及免疫印迹结果显示,YAP1与核转录因子FOS互作,抑制FOS表达后YAP1的促细胞增殖能力显著减弱(P<0.01),同时EMT相关分子标记表达显著下调(P<0.01)。结论 YAP1结合FOS基因促进人口腔鳞状上皮细胞癌(OSCC)细胞的增殖,迁移及EMT转换过程,这一结果可为人口腔鳞状上皮细胞癌的发生发展提供理论基础,YAP1-FOS或可成为新的人口腔癌药物靶点。

Abstract: Objective To explore the roles of YAP1-FOS in promoting the process of cell proliferation, migration and EMT in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Methods The YAP1 expression and subcellular localization in the OSCC cancer tissue and the surrounding normal tissue were detected by tissue immunofluorescence assay. The effect of YAP1 on cell proliferation in OSCC cells was tested by cell clonogenic assay. The effect of YAP1 on cell migration in OSCC cells was detected by cell scratch assay. The effects of YAP1 on the marker gene protein expression and changes in marker gene transcription level of EMT related molecule were respectively detected by Western blot and RT-PCR. The process in which YAP1 and FOS interacted with each other to control the conversion process of EMT through mutual regulation of downstream genes was detected by CoIP and immunoblot. Results The immunofluorescence assay results showed that the YAP1 expression increased in OSCC cancer tissue and transferred from cytoplasm to cell nucleus. Clonogenic assay results showed that the clone number increased significantly after over-expression of YAP1 (P < 0.01). The scratch assay results showed that the wound distance significantly decreased after over-expression of YAP1(P < 0.01). Western blot and RT-PCR showed that the expression levels of the key gene of epithelial cells E-cadherin were downregulated (P < 0.01), while the expression levels of the key genes of mesenchymal cells, β-catenin, Vimentin and N-cadherin, were upregulated significantly after YAP1 over-. CoIP and immunoblot results showed that YAP1 interacted with FOS, then the ability of YAP1 promoting cell proliferation significantly weakened afte the depression of FOS expression, meanwhile the marker expression of EMT related molecule was significant down-regulated(P < 0.01). Conclusion YAP1 combined with FOS genes promotes the cell proliferation, migration and EMT transcription in human OSCC, which provides a theoretical basis for the occurrence and development of human OSCC. YAP1-FOS may become the new drug target of human oral cancers.
