Abstract

Trastuzumab is recommended for the treatment of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2‑positive adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (AEG) in combination with chemotherapy; however, drug resistance has severely affected its clinical application. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of sex determining region Y‑box 9 (SOX9), a prognostic marker in adjuvant oncological settings, on AEG cell proliferation and apoptosis in the presence or absence of trastuzumab. Furthermore, the molecular mechanism underlying the role of SOX9 in trastuzumab resistance was explored. ESO26 cells were treated with various concentrations of trastuzumab, and trastuzumab induced SOX9 expression in a concentration‑dependent manner, as determined by reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blotting analyses. Transfection of ESO26 cells with SOX9 small interfering RNA was conducted to knock down SOX9 expression, and the results of MTT and flow cytome­try assays demonstrated that SOX9 knockdown sensitized ESO26 cells to trastuzumab by inhibiting cell proliferation and enhancing cell apoptosis. In addition, it was observed that the trastuzumab‑induced phosphorylation of AKT was suppressed by SOX9 knockdown. In conclusion, the present study demonstrated that SOX9 participated in trastuzumab resistance by affecting cell proliferation and apoptosis, and indicated that SOX9 may exert its effect on trastuzumab resistance via activation of the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/AKT signaling pathway. This study identified a novel mechanism underlying trastuzumab resistance in vitro and may be useful in improving the efficacy of trastuzumab treatment.
