Glioma is one of the most malignant brain tumors and accounts for the majority of brain cancer related death. Despite progress on mechanistic studies, current understandings of the initiation and progression of glioma are still incomplete. Previous studies demonstrate that Engrailed-2 (EN2), a homeobox-containing transcription factor, is associated with tumorigenesis in a range of cancers heterogeneously, however, the profiles of EN2 expression and its potential functions in gliomas remain unclear. Real-time PCR was used to identify the expression of EN2 in glioma tissues. To study the biological function of EN2 in glioma, we compared the cell viability and proliferation profiles between EN2 overexpressed and control cells using cell counting kit-8 (CCK8) assay, EdU incorporation assay and colony formation assay. Flow cytometry and Hoechst staining assays were performed to investigate the role of EN2 on glioma cell death. Finally, wound healing and transwell assays were carried out to investigate the role of EN2 on glioma cell invasion. We identified that EN2 was downregulated in human gliomas compared with paired adjacent normal tissues and negatively associated with glioma malignancy. Elevated EN2 expression inhibits cell proliferation, enhances glioma sensitivity to temozolomide and inhibits migration/invasion of glioma cells. Our data identify a novel function of EN2 in glioma suppression and provide potential therapeutic targets for glioma therapy.

Engrailed 2 (EN2) 通过抑制肿瘤增殖/侵袭和增强对替莫唑胺的敏感性来充当神经胶质瘤抑制剂

神经胶质瘤是最恶性的脑肿瘤之一,占脑癌相关死亡的大部分。尽管在机制研究方面取得了进展,但目前对神经胶质瘤的发生和进展的理解仍然不完整。先前的研究表明,Engrailed-2 (EN2) 是一种含有同源框的转录因子,与多种癌症的肿瘤发生相关,然而,EN2 表达谱及其在胶质瘤中的潜在功能仍不清楚。实时荧光定量 PCR 用于鉴定 EN2 在胶质瘤组织中的表达。为了研究 EN2 在胶质瘤中的生物学功能,我们使用细胞计数试剂盒 8 (CCK8) 测定、EdU 掺入测定和集落形成测定比较了 EN2 过表达和对照细胞之间的细胞活力和增殖谱。进行流式细胞术和 Hoechst 染色测定以研究 EN2 对神经胶质瘤细胞死亡的作用。最后,进行伤口愈合和 transwell 测定以研究 EN2 在胶质瘤细胞侵袭中的作用。我们发现,与成对的相邻正常组织相比,人类神经胶质瘤中的 EN2 下调,并且与神经胶质瘤的恶性程度呈负相关。升高的 EN2 表达抑制细胞增殖,增强胶质瘤对替莫唑胺的敏感性并抑制胶质瘤细胞的迁移/侵袭。我们的数据确定了 EN2 在胶质瘤抑制中的新功能,并为胶质瘤治疗提供了潜在的治疗靶点。我们发现,与成对的相邻正常组织相比,人类神经胶质瘤中的 EN2 下调,并且与神经胶质瘤的恶性程度呈负相关。升高的 EN2 表达抑制细胞增殖,增强胶质瘤对替莫唑胺的敏感性并抑制胶质瘤细胞的迁移/侵袭。我们的数据确定了 EN2 在胶质瘤抑制中的新功能,并为胶质瘤治疗提供了潜在的治疗靶点。我们发现,与成对的相邻正常组织相比,人类神经胶质瘤中的 EN2 下调,并且与神经胶质瘤的恶性程度呈负相关。升高的 EN2 表达抑制细胞增殖,增强胶质瘤对替莫唑胺的敏感性并抑制胶质瘤细胞的迁移/侵袭。我们的数据确定了 EN2 在胶质瘤抑制中的新功能,并为胶质瘤治疗提供了潜在的治疗靶点。
