Changes in gene expression by SNAI2 knockdown in the human pancreatic cancer cell line KLM1.


ABSTRACT: The prognosis of pancreatic cancer is still poor due to resistance to conventional therapies, and cancer stem cells (CSCs) targeted therapy is expected to be a promising therapy. Although epithelial mesenchymal transition-inducing transcription factors (EMT-TF) are known to impart the CSCs properties to some of solid tumors, it has not been clearly reported in pancreatic cancer yet. Zinc finger protein SNAI2, a member of the Snail superfamily of EMT-TF, is frequently overexpressed in pancreatic cancer cells and the poor prognosis has been reported in cases with high SNAI2 expression. we found the suppression of SNAI2 expression using RNA interference decreased the tumorigenicity in vitro (sphere formation assay) as well as in vivo (xenograft assay) in the pancreatic cancer cell line KLM1. Furthermore, microarray analysis suggests that the mechanism is mediated by insulin-like growth factor binding protein 2 (IGFBP2). These results indicate that SNAI2 may be a critical factor for the CSCs properties and indispensable for the homeostasis of pancreatic CSCs.
