Abstract

Human desumoylating isopeptidase 2 (DESI‑2) is a member of the DESI family and contains a conserved PPPDE1 domain. Previous studies have demonstrated that DESI‑2 overexpression may induce cell apoptosis. In the present study, differentially expressed genes were analyzed using a transcription microarray in DESI‑2 overexpressing PANC‑1 pancreatic cancer cells. A total of 45,033 genes were examined by microarray, which identified 1,766 upregulated and 1,643 downregulated genes. A series of altered signaling pathways were analyzed, in which certain essential signaling factors, including retinoid X receptor (RXR), BH3 interacting‑domain death agonist, Ras homolog gene family member A (RhoA) and Rho‑associated protein kinase, were further investigated at the protein level. The release of cytochrome c and the activation of caspase‑3 were also detected by western blot analysis. Immunohistochemistry further revealed the expression features of RXR and RhoA in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma tissues with various DESI‑2 expression levels. The results serve as a valuable reference for the further elucidation of the functions of DESI‑2 in pancreatic cancer.
