Previously, we demonstrated for the first time that oncogene Musashi-2 (Msi2) could induce bladder cancer cell migration and invasion. Furthermore, our preliminary data demonstrated that overexpression of Msi2 induces proliferation and chemo-resistence in bladder cancer cell lines. Moreover, Msi2 could activate the Wnt/β-catenin and JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway. However, the exact mechanisms involving the process remains unkown. Therefore, in the present project, we aim to employ RNA binding protein immunoprecipitation (Rip-ChIP), co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) and luciferase reporter assays in both in vivo and in vitro systems, and use clinical samples to investigate the mechanism of how Msi2 activate Wnt/β-catenin and JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway during the development and progression of bladder cancer, which may provide new biomarkers and targets for the diagnosis and treatment of bladder cancer.
前期研究中我们首次报道,癌基因Musashi-2(Msi2)可促进膀胱癌细胞的侵袭和迁移。进一步研究发现过表达Msi2能显著促进膀胱癌细胞的增殖,增强膀胱癌细胞对化疗药物的抵抗能力;此外,Msi2能激活Wnt/β-catenin及JAK2/STAT3信号通路,但其具体的分子机制尚不清楚。本项目将以过表达和抑制Msi2的膀胱癌细胞为模型,通过RNA结合蛋白免疫沉淀、免疫共沉淀及荧光素酶报告基因分析等方法,探讨Msi2激活Wnt/β-catenin及JAK2/STAT3信号通路的具体分子机制;并进一步结合临床样本,验证Msi2促进膀胱癌细胞增殖及耐药的功能,为膀胱癌的诊治提供新的分子靶标。
研究证实癌基因Musashi-2(Msi2)与膀胱癌的发生和发展密切相关。前期我们首次发现Msi2可促进膀胱癌细胞的侵袭和迁移(Lab Invest, 2016);进一步研究发现过表达Msi2能显著促进膀胱癌细胞的增殖,及对化疗药物的抵抗能力;此外,Msi2能激活Wnt/β-catenin及JAK2/STAT3信号通路,但其具体的分子机制尚不清楚。本项目旨在以过表达和抑制Msi2的膀胱癌细胞为模型,通过RNA结合蛋白免疫沉淀、免疫共沉淀及荧光素酶报告基因分析等方法,深入研究了Msi2促进膀胱癌增殖及耐药的分子机制。其主要成果包括,验证了过表达Msi2的膀胱癌细胞抵抗顺铂和丝裂霉素C的能力明显增加,而Msi2抑制的细胞抵抗化疗药物的能力减弱;Msi2可增强膀胱癌细胞体内抗药成瘤的能力。此外,我们证实了Msi2是通过激活JAK2/STAT3信号通路,并通过抑制Notch信号通路促进膀胱癌细胞增殖及耐药的功能;最后,我们进一步结合临床样本,验证Msi2促进膀胱癌细胞增殖及耐药的功能。本研究揭示了膀胱癌细胞增殖和耐药的新的分子机制,为耐药性膀胱癌生物学行为的研究提供了新的线索,也为耐药性膀胱癌的诊治提供新的分子靶标。
