| Abstract |
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common and fatal cancers worldwide. HCC invasion and metastasis are crucial for its poor prognosis. SH3PXD2B is a scaffold protein and critical for intravascular and extravascular invasion and metastasis of various types of tumors. However, the role of SH3PXD2B in HCC progression remains unclear. The levels of SH3PXD2B mRNA transcripts in the TCGA database and SH3PXD2B protein expression in the Human Protein Atlas were analyzed. Furthermore, the levels of SH3PXD2B expression in clinical samples were analyzed by quantitative RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry. The potential association of the levels of SH3PXD2B expression with clinicopathological characteristics, overall survival (OS), and recurrence-free survival (RFS) of HCC patients was analyzed. The impact of SH3PXD2B silencing by shRNA-based lentivirus transduction on the proliferation and invasion of human HCC Hep3B and Huh7 cells was determined. SH3PXD2B expression was up-regulated in HCC tissues in the TCGA and Human Protein Atlas as well as clinical samples, relative to that of non-tumor liver samples. The levels of SH3PXD2B expression in HCC tissues were significantly associated with higher HBV infection rate, higher HCC grades and TNM stages, higher Ki-67 expression, higher serum α-fetoprotein (AFP), a shorter OS and RFS of HCC patients. Functionally, SH3PXD2B silencing significantly inhibited the formation and function of invadopodia and the invasion of Hep3B and Huh7 cells, but did not affect their proliferation in vitro. Our data suggest that SH3PXD2B may promote the invasion and metastasis of HCC and be a valuable therapeutic target and biomarker for treatment and prognosis of HCC. |
