PG - 467-75 LID - 10281 [pii] AB - OBJECTIVE: We aimed to analyze the association of NFkappaB signaling pathway with the carcinogenesis of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Protein array was used to identify the differentially expressed proteins involved in NFkappaB signaling pathway between LSCC cells and normal throat mucosa. Correlation analysis between significantly expressed proteins and clinical characteristics (differentiation, clinical stage, and node metastasis) was performed. The expression of IkappaB kinase-beta (IKK-beta) in Hep-2 cells transfected with IKK-beta-siRNA or pcDNA3.1-IKK-beta was detected both by real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blot. Besides, a tetrazolium-based colorimetric assay (MTT), flow cytometer, and transwell assay were used to examine the proliferation, apoptosis, and migration rate of Hep-2 cells, respectively. RESULTS: Three differentially expressed proteins were identified. Among them, tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1) and IKK-beta were significantly up-regulated (p < 0.01) and Fas-associated via death domain (FADD) was significantly down-regulated (p < 0.01). The correlation analysis showed that IKK-beta expression had a significant association with differentiation, clinical stage, and node metastasis (p < 0.05). Besides, high expressed IKK-beta resulted in significantly increased proliferation and migration rate (p < 0.05). Reversely, Hep-2 cells transfected with IKK-beta-siRNA showed significantly lower proliferation and migration rate (p < 0.05) and significantly higher apoptosis rate (p < 0.05) than normal cells. CONCLUSIONS: The NFkappaB signaling pathway involved TNFR1, IKK-beta, and FADD is significantly associated with the development of LSCC. Over-expressed IKK-beta efficiently inhibits cell apoptosis and has positive effects on cell proliferation and migration.
