Ro60/SSA levels are increased and promote the progression of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications 2018 January 23
Ro60/SSA is a vital auto antigen that is targeted in Sjogren's syndrome and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). However, its role in solid cancers has rarely been reported. The present study investigated the expression and function of Ro60/SSA in the development of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) both in vitro and in vivo. Immunohistochemistry was used to examine the expression of Ro60/SSA in PDAC and normal pancreatic tissues by using tissue microarray chips. The results showed that Ro60/SSA expression was increased in PDAC tissues compared with normal pancreatic tissues. Knockdown of Ro60/SSA by siRNA transfection significantly decreased cell proliferation and invasion in vitro. Furthermore, knockdown of Ro60/SSA inhibited the growth of subcutaneous tumors in vivo. Taken together, the current study provides evidence of new function of Ro60/SSA in the development of cancer. It facilitates pancreatic cancer proliferation, migration and invasion. Therefore, it may represent a novel molecular target for the management of pancreatic cancer.
