PG - 772-787 LID - 10.1016/j.omto.2022.02.005 [doi] AB - Pentraxin 3 (PTX3) is an inflammatory molecule that is closely related to the proliferation, invasion, and metastasis of cancer. In order to explore the role of PTX3 in the occurrence and development of esophageal carcinoma (ESCA), we modified the PTX3 gene in ESCA cell lines to obtain the model of gene knockout and overexpression and studied cell proliferation, cycle, apoptosis, migration ability, energy metabolism, and sensitivity to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. We observed the increase in cell proliferation, cycle, apoptosis, migration ability, and sensitivity to chemotherapy and radiotherapy in the PTX3 knockout model, while in the PTX3 overexpression model, these phenomena were significantly reduced. Knockout of the PTX3 also resulted in decreased cell glycolysis and increased oxidative phosphorylation, which is consistent with other findings that PTX3 affects the tumorigenic ability of cells and their sensitivity to docetaxel. In ESCA, SOX9 directly regulates the expression of PTX3, while human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-system-related genes are significantly up-regulated when lacking PTX3. These results indicate that SOX9 may play a crucial role in regulating PTX3 and affecting the HLA system in ESCA. CI - (c) 2022.
