Abstract

ZW10 interactor (Zwint) is upregulated in various types of tumors and exerts a carcinogenic effect. However, little is known about the expression profile, function and molecular mechanisms of action of Zwint in melanoma. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the expression levels of Zwint in melanoma cell lines and tissues. It was revealed that Zwint was highly expressed in melanoma samples. Functional experiments indicated that Zwint knockdown suppressed the proliferation and migration of A375 melanoma cells. Further mechanistic studies demonstrated that Zwint knockdown decreased the protein expression levels of c‑Myc, MMP‑2, Slug, mTOR, phosphorylated (p)‑mTOR, p‑p38 and fibronectin, while it increased the protein expression levels of E‑cadherin and MMP‑9. Among these genes, c‑Myc, MMP‑2 and Slug were overexpressed to investigate their effects on cell proliferation following Zwint knockdown. The results demonstrated that overexpression of c‑Myc, but not MMP‑2 or Slug, rescued the effects of Zwint knockdown on melanoma cell proliferation and migration. Taken together, the results of the present study suggested that Zwint may act as an oncogene in melanoma by regulating c‑Myc expression.
