This study investigated the role of MUC16 in the inhibition of migration and invasion of HepG2 and Huh7 cells, demonstrating the significance of MUC16 in this process. Knockdown of MUC16 resulted in enhanced migration and invasion of the cells, indicating its potential as a tumor biomarker for hepatocellular carcinoma.
As an important global medical problem, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been recognized as the most frequent primary liver cancer and a leading cause of death among patients with cirrhosis. Surveillance of HCC using serum markers aims to reduce the disease-related mortality of HCC. MUC16 (mucin 16, also known as carbohydrate antigen 125, CA125) has been predicted as a tumor biomarker for many cancer types. Based on the high frequency mutation rate in a database from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), we investigated the effects of MUC16 knockdown and the regulatory profile of MUC16 in HepG2 and Huh7 cell lines. Knockdown of MUC16 was conducted via siRNA transfection, and the proliferation of cells was not affected by CCK8 assay results. Moreover, decreasing the expression of MUC16 enhanced the migration and invasion of cells, as shown by wound healing and transwell assays. Furthermore, RNA-seq was used to investigate the effect of MUC16 knockdown on the gene expression profile of HepG2 and Huh7 cells. Our study demonstrated the significant role of MUC16 in the inhibition of the migration and invasion of HepG2 and Huh7 cells.
