Death receptor 6 promotes ovarian cancer cell migration through KIF11.

ABSTRACT: The expression of death receptor 6 (DR6) is abnormal in some cancer types, but the function and underlying molecular mechanisms of DR6 in tumor progression are not yet clear. In the present study, our analysis of ovarian cancer RNA sequencing data from The Cancer Genome Atlas revealed that DR6 is upregulated in human ovarian cancer. We confirmed that the expression level of DR6 is upregulated in ovarian cancer tissues when compared with matched adjacent normal tissues. In addition, DR6 enhanced ovarian carcinoma cell migration ability, and decreased expression of DR6 inhibited the expression of matrix metalloprotease (MMP) 2 and MMP9, and increased the expression of E-cadherin. Additionally, DR6 shRNA caused a significant decrease in phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K), phospho (p) -AKT, p-ex
