Abstract:Previous studies have shown that all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) suppresses growth of hepatocarcinoma cell in vitro. To understand the underlying mechanisms, we investigated the protein expression profiles by 2-DE in hepatocarcinoma cell line SMMC-7721 treated with ATRA. Our results reveal that six proteins were differently expressed in response to ATRA. Using MS and database searching, they were identified as profilin 1, phosphoglycerate kinase 1, RuvB-like 1, alpha-enolase, pyridoxal kinase and F-actin capping protein. We selected the up-regulated protein, profilin 1 (PFN1), for further studies. The PFN1 expression was increased in response to ATRA in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The PFN1 expression was reduced dramatically in four hepatoma cell lines compared to L02 cell line of non-tumor origin. The PFN1 expression was also examined in 4 cases of primary hepatocarcinoma tissues by Western blot and 30 cases by tissues microarray. It was found that the protein level of PFN1 was lower in hepatocarcinoma tissues compared to that in the adjacent tissues. Similar to ATRA, overexpression of PFN1 led to inhibition of cell proliferation and migration. Furthermore, RNAi-based PFN1 knockdown could rescue the inhibitory effect of ATRA on cell proliferation and migration. In conclusion, ATRA inhibited cell proliferation and migration through up-regulation of PFN1.
