Abstract

Mucin 13 (MUC13) is a glycoprotein that is expressed on the cell surface and participates in the tumorigenesis of multiple malignancies, including pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer and renal cancer. However, to the best of our knowledge, the expression levels and function of MUC13 in lung cancer progression have not yet been demonstrated. Therefore, the present study examined the expression pattern and regulatory role of MUC13 in lung cancer tumorigenesis. The results demonstrated that MUC13 was highly expressed in lung cancer tissues and cell lines compared with that in normal tissues and cell lines. Functionally, knockdown of MUC13 inhibited cell proliferation and enhanced the apoptosis of A549 and NCI‑H1650 lung cancer cells. Furthermore, silencing of MUC13 suppressed the migration and invasion of lung cancer cells. Additionally, a xenograft tumor model demonstrated that knockdown of MUC13 delayed the development of the lung cancer xenograft and suppressed the expression of proliferation marker Ki‑67 in tumor tissues. Mechanistically, MUC13 activated the ERK signaling pathway by enhancing the phosphorylation of ERK, JNK and p38 in lung cancer tissues compared with that in normal tissues. Knockdown of MUC13 inhibited the phosphorylation of ERK/JNK/p38 in A549 and NCI‑H1650 cells. Overall, these findings suggested that MUC13 could act as an oncogenic glycoprotein to accelerate the progression of lung cancer via abnormal activation of the ERK/JNK/p38 signaling pathway and might serve as a therapeutic target for lung cancer treatment.
