Expression of variant isoforms of the tyrosine kinase SYK differentially regulates cervical cancer progression through PI3K/AKT pathway.

ABSTRACT: Invasion and metastasis are the main reasons for the poor prognosis of patients with cervical cancer(CC). SYK is closely related to tumor development. However, the functions of its two isoforms, SYK (L) or SYK (S), are not fully understood to date. In this study, we investigated their biologic functions and possible prognostic values in CC. qRT-PCR was performed to detect the expression of SYK and two variant isoforms in cervical cancer tissues and cells. The association of SYK(L) and SYK(S) with Clinical pathological parameters were evaluated. The migration and invasion was detected by scratch assay and transwell. Western blot was conducted to measure the changes of epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related markers and PI3K/AKT signaling pathway proteins in cervical cancer cells. LY
