Abstract:Objective: To investigate the effects and mechanisms of transcription factor SOX7 on PC-3 cells proliferation, cell cycle, cell migration and invasion. Methods: PC-3 cells were transfected with high-expressed SOX7 recombinant plasmid (pCDNA3.1-SOX7) and further detected the changes of cell proliferation, cell cycle, migration, invasion, and related protein expressions. Results: After transfection with pCDNA3.1-SOX7, significant inhibition effects was shown in the PC-3 cell proliferation and G1/S cell cycle arrest, which were accompanied with decreased expressions of cyclin D1 and E. Furthermore, transfection of pCDNA3.1-SOX7 markedly decreased the cell migration distances and invasion capacity, with a reduction of the mesenchymal markers (MMP-2, MMP-9 and N-cadherin), however, the epithelial marker E-cadherin was increased. Conclusion: SOX7 inhibits PC-3 cell proliferation, cell cycle, migration and invasion through regulation of its related protein expressions.
