The FK506-binding protein 14 (FKBP14), which belongs to a subfamily of immunophilins, has been implicated in various biochemical processes. However, its effects on human cervical cancer remain to be elucidated. The present study aimed to determine the exact role of FKBP14 in human cervical cancer cell proliferation, cell cycle progression, apoptosis, invasion and migration. Cell proliferation was measured by Cell Counting Kitâ8 assay. Flow cytometry was conducted to determine the effects of FKBP14 on cell cycle progression and apoptosis. Cell invasion and migration were determined by Transwell assay. The results of the present study demonstrated that silencing FKBP14 expression using short hairpin (sh)RNA suppressed proliferation, invasion and migration of HeLa and Câ33A cells, and also induced apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. Furthermore, silencing FKBP14 expression decreased the protein expression levels of Bâcell lymphoma 2 (Bclâ2), matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)2 and MMP9, and increased the levels of caspaseâ3 and Bclâ2âassociated X protein in FKBP14 shRNAâinfected HeLa and Câ33A cells. In conclusion, FKBP14 may act as an oncogene through suppressing apoptosis and promoting motility in human cervical carcinogenesis; therefore, it may be considered a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of cervical cancer.
