PG - 734-741 LID - 10.1139/bcb-2017-0334 [doi] AB - There is increasing evidence indicating that peptidylprolyl cis/trans isomerase, NIMA-interacting 1 (Pin1) plays a decisive role in a variety of cancers. Nevertheless, its function in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) has not been elaborated. The aim of this study is to determine the role of Pin1 in LSCC. Here, we established stably transfected Hep-2 cells with low expression of Pin1. Intriguingly, cell proliferation, migration, and invasion was significantly inhibited in Pin1-silenced Hep-2 cells. Similarly, knockdown of Pin1 induced apoptosis of Hep-2 cells, as evidenced by increased expression of cleaved-caspase-3, cleaved-PARP, and bax, and decreased expression of bcl2. We also demonstrated that silencing of Pin1 down-regulated beta-catenin and cyclin D1 expression. Inversely, over-expression of beta-catenin reversed the inhibiting effect of Pin1 silencing on Hep-2 cells. Moreover, we proved that knockdown of Pin1 inhibited tumorigenesis of Hep-2 cells in vivo. Taken together, we demonstrate that silencing of Pin1 effectively suppresses the growth of Hep-2 cells through beta-catenin, indicating that Pin1 possess the potential to serve as a therapeutic target for the treatment of LSCC.
