[Effect of GPX4 on proliferation and metastasis of renal clear cell carcinoma and its relationship with expression of IGF-1R and COX-2].

Objective: To investigate the effect of human glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) on the proliferation and metastasis of renal clear cell carcinoma and its relationship with the expression of IGF-1R and COX-2. Methods: Culture of human normal tubular cell line HK-2 and human renal clear cell carcinoma Caki-1, A498, Caki-2, 786-o in vitro. Detection of GPX4 mRNA and protein expression in different cell lines by quantitative real-time PCR (RT-PCR) and Western blot assay. Overexpression of GPX4 cell lines, including blank carrier (Vector) and overexpress GPX4 (oeGPX4) group, and interference with GPX4 renal clear cell carcinoma cell lines, including random sequence (shControl), interference GPX4#1 (shGPX4#1) and interference GPX4#2 (shGPX4#2) group by lentiviral transfection. RT-PCR technology and Western blot were used to detect the expression of GPX4, IGF-1R and COX-2 mRNA and protein. CCK-8 assay was used to detect the relative proliferation of cells at 0, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h in each group. Transwell invasion and migration assay to detect the invasion and migration ability of cells of each group. Results: GPX4 is highly expressed in renal clear cell carcinoma cell lines compared to human normal tubular cell lines; The expression of GPX4, IGF-1R and COX-2 mRNA was significantly increased in oeGPX4 cells compared with Vector cells, the expression of GPX4,IGF-1R and COX-2 mRNA was significantly decreased in shGPX4#1 and shGPX4#2 compared with shControl cells; oeGPX4 cells significantly increased proliferative capacity compared to Vector cells at 72 and 96 h, the proliferation of shGPX4#1 and shGPX4#2 cells was significantly lower than that of shControl cells at 72 and 96 h; The number of invading and migrating cells of oeGPX4 cells was significantly higher than that of Vector cells, the number of invasive and migrating cells in shGPX4#1 and shGPX4#2 cells was significantly lower than that in shControl cells. Conclusion: GPX4 is highly expressed in renal clear cell carcinoma cells, which is positively correlated with the expression of IGF-1R and COX-2, and can promote cell proliferation and metastasis in vitro.
