The aim of this study was to investigate the role of TWEAK in colorectal cancer (CRC) progression. Methods: To investigate the involvement of TWEAK in the progression of human CRC, normal, and tumor specimens from 174 patients were analyzed immunohistochemically for the expression of TWEAK. TWEAK recombinant protein treatment, transfection of expression plasmids, and small interfering RNA to knockdown TWEAK expression were performed to test invasive ability with a Boyden chamber. The mRNA expression profile in recombinant TWEAK treatment was compared to a control group by microarray analysis. To identify downstream effectors, Raf kinase inhibitor (RKIP) and its correlation with TWEAK in vitro and in vivo were examined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and invasion assays. Results: CRC patients whose tumors displayed high TWEAK expression had a statistically significantly higher overall survival and a disease-free advantage over those with a low TWEAK expression. In in vitro invasion assays, alterations in TWEAK expression in CRC cell lines inversely modulated their invasive ability. By means of integrated genomics, we identified RKIP as a downstream effector in TWEAK-mediated invasion inhibition. Knockout of RKIP expression in HCT116 cells by short hairpin RNA (shRKIP) resulted in increased invasiveness. Clinically, RKIP and TWEAK mRNA expression showed strong positive correlations in CRC patient samples. Conclusions: Our results implicate TWEAK as a key regulator of CRC invasion, and it appears to be a useful prognostic factor for patients with CRC. ? 2011 Society of Surgical Oncology. |
