The study aimed to investigate the effect of CD1d down-regulation on the proliferation, migration, and apoptosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma cells and explore the underlying mechanism. CD1d expression was silenced in TPC-1 cells by transfection of CD1d siRNA lentivirus. The proliferation, apoptosis rate, and migration ability of TPC-1 cells were detected by CCK-8 assay, flow cytometry, and scratch assay, respectively. Western blot and qPCR analyses were performed to detect the expression of related proteins. CD1d was highly expressed in TPC-1 cells. Down-regulation of CD1d significantly decreased ALMS1, CDKN3, CDK6, Ki-67, Bcl2 expression, increased Bax and Caspase 3 expression (all P < 0.05), and decreased the migration ability of TPC-1 cells. Gene ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis were performed to identify the relevant signaling pathways. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that the differentially expressed genes were mainly enriched in MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways. Our findings suggest that CD1d down-regulation inhibited the proliferation and migration abilities of TPC-1 cells, increased cell apoptosis possibly via the MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathway. |
