[PINK1 suppresses colorectal cancer cell growth through epigenetic regulation of histone modifications].

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To investigate the role of PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1) in regulating the viability, migration, and apoptosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) cells, and to explore its potential epigenetic mechanisms.

Methods

PINK1 was overex-pressed or knocked down in HCT116 and DLD1 CRC cell lines using lentiviral vectors, with efficiency verified by qRT-PCR and Western blotting. Cell proliferation was assessed using CCK-8 and colony formation. Cell migration was detected using wound healing and Transwell assays. Apoptosis was assessed using Hoechst 33258 staining. Protein levels of apoptosis-related and histone modification-related markers were analyzed by Western blotting. Genome-wide chromatin accessibility was profiled using assay for transposase-accessible chrom
