OBJECTIVE: To reveal the effects and related mechanism of cisatracurium on colorectal cancer (CRC) development.
METHODS: HCT116 and SW480 cells were treated with various concentrations of cisatracurium or transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β). Chemokine C-X-C-Motif Receptor 4 (CXCR4) was overexpressed and let-7a-5p was silenced in cells by transfection with pcDNA3.1-CXCR4 or let-7a-5p inhibitor. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay measured cell viability, and transwell and wound healing assays evaluated cell invasion and migration, respectively. The expression levels of let-7a-5p and CXCR4 were measured using quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Western blotting was conducted to test the levels of CXCR4, TGF-β/SMAD2/3 signalling and metastasis-related proteins. A tumour xenograft assay was performed to assess tumour growth.
RESULTS: Cisatracurium treatment suppressed the viability and metastasis of HCT116 and SW480 cells in a concentration-dependent manner, whereas activating TGF-β/SMAD2/3 signalling significantly reversed these effects. Cisatracurium treatment markedly reduced CXCR4 expression by inhibiting TGF-β/SMAD2/3 signalling. Besides, let-7a-5p was identified as a target of CXCR4 and could be upregulated by cisatracurium. Both CXCR4 overexpression and let-7a-5p knockdown alleviated the biological roles of cisatracurium in CRC cells. Moreover, a tumour xenograft assay further confirmed that cisatracurium inhibited tumour growth and metastasis by increasing let-7a-5p expression.
CONCLUSION: Cisatracurium suppressed the viability, metastasis and tumour growth of CRC by regulating the CXCR4/let-7a-5p axis via inhibiting TGF-β/SMAD2/3 signalling. These findings provide a theoretical basis for the role of cisatracurium in the prognosis of CRC patients.
