Abstract

Wnt proteins have been reported to contribute to the progression of various types of cancer. Wnt6 is a member of the Wnt family and may promote tumorigenesis in gastrointestinal cancer and cervical cancer. In the present study, the expression of Wnt6 in human colon cancer cell lines was evaluated, in order to investigate the role of Wnt6 in the development of colon cancer. Additionally, the effects of Wnt6 upregulation or downregulation on proliferation, apoptosis, cell cycle and cell migration of colon cancer cells have been investigated. Furthermore, western blot analysis was employed to evaluate the expression of Wnt6, B‑cell lymphoma 2‑associated X protein (Bax), caspase‑3 and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)2. The results of the present study demonstrated that the expression of Wnt6 was increased in HCT116 and SW480 cells compared with the remaining colon cancer cell lines. Furthermore, overexpression Wnt6 resulting from transfection of pGPU6/GFP/Neo‑Wnt6‑Homo‑1 plasmid promoted the proliferation, cell cycle and migration of HCT116 and SW480 cells, but inhibited cell apoptosis in vitro. The expression of caspase‑3 and MMP2 was increased, whereas the expression of Bax was decreased in response to upregulation of Wnt6. These results suggested that Wnt6 may serve a vital function in the development of colon cancer.
