Silencing PPA1 inhibits human epithelial ovarian cancer metastasis by suppressing the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.
Oncotarget 2017 September 30
Inorganic pyrophosphatase (PPA1) activity is a key determinant of cellular inorganic pyrophosphate levels, and its expression is correlated with growth of several solid tumors. To investigate this relationship, we first examined PPA1 expression in human epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) samples, and found that PPA1 was overexpressed in tumors from EOC patients. Higher PPA1 levels correlated with advanced grades, stages, and poor survival in EOC patients. Examination of PPA1 function in EOC revealed that silencing PPA1 inhibited EOC migration, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and metastasis in vitro and in vivo . In addition, PPA1 may promote the dephosphorylation and translocation of β-catenin. These results demonstrate that silencing PPA1 inhibits EOC metastasis by suppressing the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Strategies for downregulating PPA1 may have therapeutic potential for the prevention and treatment of EOC.
