Abstract

The present study aimed to investigate the effects of colony‑stimulating factor‑1 receptor (CSF‑1R) on proliferation, migration and invasion in the human nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) 6‑10B cell line, and to investigate the possible underlying mechanisms. Using a lentiviral transfection method, a virus carrying the CSF‑1R gene was transfected into 6‑10B cells. The expression of CSF‑1R was then detected by reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blot analysis, and was revealed to be markedly enhanced in 6‑10B cells. Subsequently, an MTT assay was performed to assess cell proliferative ability, and flow cytometric analysis was utilized to measure the apoptotic rate of the cells. Wound healing and Transwell assays were also performed to observe cell migration and invasion capabilities. Additionally, western blot analysis was used to detect the protein expression of the proliferation and apoptosis signaling factors cyclin D1, B‑cell lymphoma 2, Bcl‑2‑associated X protein, and phosphorylated and total extracellular protein kinase B (Akt/PKB) in 6‑10B cells. The results showed that CSF‑1R overexpression promoted the proliferation, migration and invasion of the 6‑10B cells. The corresponding mechanism may be associated with activation of the phosphoinositide 3‑kinase/Akt pathway, which promotes cell survival and proliferation. These results indicated a potential molecular target for the treatment of NPC.
