The oncogenic role of TRIP13 in regulating proliferation, invasion, and cell cycle checkpoint in NSCLC cells.

ABSTRACT: TRIP13 (thyroid hormone receptor interacting protein 13) AAA-ATPase has been reported to be involved in the metaphase checkpoint in human breast cancer, prostate cancer, and cervical cancer. However, the expression pattern and biologic role of TRIP13 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remained unknown. In our present study, real-time PCR and western blot were used to detect the expression level of TRIP13 in NSCLC tissues and cell lines. We found that the expression levels of TRIP13 mRNA and protein were significantly upregulated in cell lines and lung tissues. Knockdown of TRIP13 by lentivirus inhibited cell proliferation and invasion in both A549 and H1299 cells. Furthermore, flow cytometry, western blot and immunoprecipitation showed that the MCC complex was disassembled and cells became arrested in metaphase, when TRIP13 was inhibited. In conclusion, here we first report that TRIP13 acts as a tumor promoter in regulating cell proliferation, invasion, and cell cycle checkpoint in NSCLC cells and may be a clinically useful marker for the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer.
