Decreased expression of ARHGAP15 promotes the development of colorectal cancer through PTEN/AKT/FOXO1 axis.

Abstract:

:Copious evidence demonstrates the crucial role of Rho GTPase-activating proteins in human malignancies. The downregulation of Rho GTPase-activating protein 15 (ARHGAP15), a Rac1-specific GAP, has been observed in glioma and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. The present study explored the expression in colorectal cancer (CRC) by quantitative real-time PCR and immunohistochemistry analysis. The possible function of ARHGAP15 in CRC was investegated in vitro and in vivo. We found that ARHGAP15 expression was obviously lower in CRC specimens than in normal colonic mucosa. ARHGAP15 expression was significantly correlated with clinical stage, tumor size metastasis, vital status, and overall survival of CRC patients. ARHGAP15 overexpression inhibited cell growth, migration, and invasion of HT29 and RKO cells in vitro, whereas opposite results were observed in ARHGAP15-silenced LoVo cells. Mechanically, we found that PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homology deleted on chromosome 10) signaling pathway was closely correlated with ARHGAP15 expression by Gene set enrichment analysis with The Cancer Genome Atlas CRC data set. Increased PTEN and Forkhead box protein O1 (FOXO1, a downstream transcription factor of AKT), and decreased phosphorylation of AKT were observed in ARHGAP15-overexpressed HT29 and RKO cells. In addition, ARHGAP15 overexpression increased p21, which was responsible for the accelerated cell growth and S phase arrest, but decreased the protein levels of MMP-2 and MMP-9, which were stimuli for cell metastasis. Notably, upregulating PTEN expression, FOXO1 overexpression and interdicting the activation of AKT pathway with MK2206 suppressed the proliferation and the metastatic ability of ARHGAP15-silenced LoVo cells. In addition, FOXO1 overexpression markedly enhanced the expression and the promoter activity of ARHGAP15. Furthermore, ARHGAP15 overexpression significantly decelerated the pace of tumor growth and metastasis in the lung in vivo. In summary, these results suggest that ARHGAP15 might serve as a tumor suppressor during CRC progression and metastasis through PTEN/AKT/FOXO1-signaling pathway.
