Abstract Background: Hyaluronan mediated motility receptor (also known as RHAMM) is another one of few defined hyaluronan receptors, play pivotal roles in cell growth. However, the functionof HMMR in lung adenocarcinoma remain unclear.Methods: HMMR expression was analyzed emoloyed the public databases, the prognosis of HMMR was analysis by prognoscan, KMplot and GEPIA databases. The GO and KEGG pathway was analysis by the DAVID and GSEA software. The correlation between the HMMR expression was analysis by the TIMER databases, the gene and protein networks was analysis by Genemania and STRING databases, the DNA methylation was analysis by the MethSurv and UALCAN databases. The expression of HMMR was analysis by IHC and qPCR, the function of HMMR on cell proliferation and migration was examine by the cell growth curve, clone information, transwell and wound healing assay.Results: in this study, we find that HMMR was elevated in LUAD and it’s highly expression associated with the poor prognosis and lymph node metastasis. Furthermore, the expression of HMMR was induced by hypoxia in LUAD. HMMR expression level not only positively correlation with the different immune cells, but also positively correlation with the expression of immune checkpoints related gene. Finally, depletion of HMMR significantly represses the cell growth and migration of NSCLC. We also found that the HOXB7/TMPO-AS1/Let-7b-5p axis mediated high expression of HMMR in NSCLC, depletion of TMPO-AS1 and over-expression the Let-7b-5p would result in decreased the expression of HMMR in NSCLC cells, the TMPO-AS1 was positively with the HMMR and negatively related to the Let-7b-5p in NSCLC. Overall, this study emphasized the significance of HOXB7/TMPO-AS1/Let-7b-5p axis mediated high expression of HMMR in cancer progression and Immune infiltration of LUAD.Conclusions: we demonstrated HMMR was elevated in LUAD and positively relation to poor prognosis. We find the hypoxia microenvironment and DNA hypomethylation able to up-regulation of the HMMR expression. Additionally, HMMR expression was positive with the diverse immune cell and immune regulator related gene in LUAD. Finally, we found that depletion of HMMR was inhibits the cell proliferation and migration ability of NSCLC cells. These findings suggest that HMMR could be served as a biomarker for prognosis and immune infiltration in LUAD.

Abstract BackgroundHyaluronan mediated motility receptor (also known as RHAMM) is another one of few defined hyaluronan receptors, play pivotal roles in cell growth. However, the relationships between HMMR and prognosis and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in lung adenocarcinoma remain unclear.MethodsHMMR expression was analyzed emoloyed the TIMER, GEPIA, UALCAN, CCLE databases, the prognosis of HMMR was analysis by prognoscan, KMplot and GEPIA databases. The GO and KEGG pathway was analysis by the DAVID and GSEA software. The correlation between the HMMR expression was analysis by the TIMER databases, the gene and protein networks was analysis by Genemania and STRING databases, the DNA methylation was analysis by the MethSurv and UALCAN databases, the gene mutation of HMMR was analysis by the cBioportal and COSMIC databases. The expression of HMMR was analysis by IHC and qPCR, the function of HMMR on cell proliferation and migration was examine by the cell growth curve, clone information, transwell and wound healing assay.ResultsIn this study, we find that HMMR was elevated in LUAD and it’s highly expression associated with the poor prognosis and lymph node metastasis. Furthermore, the expression of HMMR was induced by hypoxia in LUAD. HMMR expression level not only positively correlation with the different immune cells, but also positively correlation with the expression of immune checkpoints related gene, for instance, CD279, CD274, CTLA4, LAG3, PDCD1LG2, TIGIT and HAVCR2. Finally, depletion of HMMR significantly represses the cell growth and migration of NSCLC. Overall, this study emphasized the significance of HMMR in cancer progression and Immune infiltration of LUAD.ConclusionsWe demonstrated HMMR was elevated in LUAD and positively relation to poor prognosis.

Patients with advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) usually show a dismal prognosis. It is this worthwhile to develop new, effective therapeutic regimens for these patients, such as molecular targeted therapy, which is promising as an alternative or combination treatment for HNSCC. The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway, which plays an important role in the carcinogenesis of HNSCC, is the most frequently activated, and is thus worthy of further investigation. In this study, two human HNSCC cell lines, FaDu and SAS, were evaluated for cell growth with trypan blue staining and tumor growth using an orthotopic xenograft model. The immunohistochemical expression of mTOR in the subcutaneous xenograft model and the inhibitory effects of docetaxel on the growth and state of activation of the PI3K/mTOR pathway were also evaluated and examined by colony formation and Western blot, respectively. Cell proliferation and migration were measured by water-soluble tetrazolium salt (WST-1) and OrisTM cell migration assay, respectively. Furthermore, the effects of rapamycin and BEZ235, a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases (PI3K) and mTOR inhibitor in combination with docetaxel or CCL20 were evaluated in the FaDu and SAS cells. The results showed that the expression of mTOR was significantly higher in the SAS and FaDu xenograft models than in the control. Docetaxel treatment significantly suppressed HNSCC cell proliferation and migration in vitro via the PI3K/mTOR/CCL-20 signaling pathway. Additionally, when administered in a dose-dependent fashion, mTOR inhibitors inhibited the growth and migration of the HNSCC cells. This combination was synergistic with docetaxel, resulting in almost complete cell growth and migration arrest. In conclusion, docetaxel significantly inhibited HNSCC cell proliferation and migration in vitro via the PI3K/mTOR/CCL-20 signaling pathway. The synergistic and additive activity of mTOR inhibitors combined with docetaxel shows potential as a new treatment strategy for HNSCC.

Abstract Background: Pancreatic cancer is a malignant tumor with high mortality. Acidic nuclear phosphoprotein 32 family member E (ANP32E), a specific H2A.Z chaperone, has been shown to contribute to breast cancer development. However, the significance of ANP32E in pancreatic cancer is poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the role of ANP32E in pancreatic cancer. Methods: The expression of ANP32E in 179 pancreatic cancer tissues and 171 normal tissues, and the correlation between ANP32E expression and patients’ survival were analyzed from the TCGA database. ANP32E was over-expressed and silenced using lentivirus. siRNA was used to knock down β-catenin. CCK8, colony formation, cell cycle and transwell experiments were performed to determine cell proliferation and migration. qRT-PCR and Western blot were conducted to detect mRNA and protein expression. Results: ANP32E was up-regulated in pancreatic cancer tissues and cells. Up-regulation of ANP32E predicted poor prognosis in pancreatic cancer patients. Lentivirus-mediated knockdown of ANP32E suppressed the proliferation, colony growth and migration of PANC1 and MIA cells. By contrast, ANP32E over-expression promoted the proliferation and migration of both cells. In addition, ANP32E accelerated the cell cycle progression in PANC1 and MIA cells. Molecular experiments showed that ANP32E activated β-catenin/cyclin D1 signaling. Silencing of β-catenin reduced cell proliferation and migration in ANP32E over-expressed cells. Conclusion: Our results propose that ANP32E functions as an oncogene in pancreatic cancer via activating β-catenin.
