MBNL1 Suppressed Cancer Metastatic of Skin Squamous Cell Carcinoma Via by TIAL1/MYOD1/Caspase-9/3 Signaling Pathways.

Abstract

Objective:The incidence of skin squamous cell carcinoma (SSCC) has recently been increasing, with diverse clinical manifestations.SSCC could metastasize to lymph nodes or other organs, posing a great threat to life. The present study was designed to investigate the function and underlying mechanism of muscleblind-like protein 1 (MBNL1) in skin squamous cell carcinoma.Methods:SCL-1 cell was used for vitro model and transfected with MBNL1 or siMBNL1 plasmids. MTT Assays, LDH activity ELISA, and Transwell chamber migration experiment were used to confirm the effects of MBNL1 on cell growth of SCL-1 cell. Western blot analysis was used to analyze the mechanism of MBNL1 in SCL-1 cell.Results:Down-regulation of MBNL1 promoted cell metastasis of SSCC, while up-regulation of MBNL1 reduced cell metastasis of SSCC in vitro. Down-regulation of MBNL1 suppressed the protein expression of T cell intracellular antigen (TIAL1), myogenic determinant 1 (MyoD1) and Caspase-3 in vitro. Consistent with these observations, inhibition of TIAL1 or MYOD1 expression attenuated the effects of MBNL1 in SSCC.Conclusion:The present study revealed that MBNL1 suppressed thecancer metastatic capacity of SSCC via by TIAL1/MYOD1/Caspase-3 signaling pathways.
