ABSTRACT
Cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CESC) ranks among the primary contributors to global cancer-associated mortality. However, the role mediated by synaptotagmin 7 (SYT7) in CESC remains unclear. Our study employed immunohistochemistry to assess the level of SYT7 expression in the tissue microarray. Furthermore, lentiviral shRNA transduction was utilized to establish SYT7 knockdown cell line models based on HeLa and SiHa cell lines. The functional impacts of silencing SYT7 expression in vitro were evaluated. A subcutaneous xenograft model was employed to examine the tumorigenic potential of cells with or without SYT7. The content of SYT7 in CESC tissues was significantly elevated compared to adjacent normal tissues. Functionally, silencing SYT7 in HeLa and SiHa cells suppressed cell proliferation, colony formation ability, and apoptosis enhancement. Additionally, cells with suppressed SYT7 also exhibited inhibited cell migration and invasion. In vivo experiments demonstrated the loss of tumorigenic ability in SYT7 knockdown cells and suppressed tumor growth. Quantitative PCR PrimeView PathArray and apoptosis antibody array analyses revealed that upon elimination of SYT7, there was a significant upregulation observed in Caspase 8, TNF-R1 (TNF receptor superfamily member 1A), and HSPA5 (heat shock protein family A [Hsp70] member 5), while TGFBI (transforming growth factor beta-induced), RPL31 (ribosomal protein L31), LUM (lumican), HSDL2 (hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase-like 2), ITGB5 (integrin subunit beta 5), and Smad2 (SMAD family member2) were downregulated. Overall, we have demonstrated the tumor-promoting functions of SYT7 in CESC.
