Epidermal growth factor-stimulated human cervical cancer cell growth is associated with EGFR and cyclin D1 activation, independent of COX-2 expression levels.

Abstract:

:Cervical cancer constitutes the second most common cancer in women. It is evident from earlier studies that epidermal growth factor (EGF) is a mitogen, in that it mimics the function of estrogen by mediating cross-talk with other oncoproteins. Although epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is highly expressed in breast and ovarian tumor tissues, its regulation by the exogenous source of its ligand EGF in human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated cervical cancer remains unclear. In this study, we addressed the question of whether EGF is required for the proliferation of HPV-positive cervical cancer cells and what mechanisms are involved. To determine this, we conducted a series of studies using HPV-positive human cervical cancer cells, CaSki and HeLa, and stimulated the cells with EGF. Our findings suggest that 6 h of stimulation with 10 ng/ml of EGF is sufficient to induce cell cycle progression associated with a significant increase in DNA synthesis, EGFR, COX-2 and cyclin D1 levels. Consistently, cellular localization and Western blot analysis for p-EGFR (Try-1045) protein showed an increase after EGF stimulation. Using siRNA gene knockdown assays we have shown that cyclin D1 siRNA has a significant negative effect on EGFR and inhibit cell growth independent of COX-2 levels. In summary, our findings reveal that an exogenous EGF stimulation may enhance HPV-related cervical cancer cell proliferation by activating EGFR and cyclin D1 that is independent of COX-2 levels, suggesting that the inhibitors of EGFR and cyclin D1 may be effective against cervical cancer cell proliferation.
