Abstract

Despite evidence that MRTF-A/B, co-activators of serum response factor (SRF), promotes tumor cell invasion and metastasis in cancer, there are no studies describing MRTF-A/B in pancreatic cancer. To clarify involvement of MRTF-A/B expression in pancreatic cancer, we used quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and western blot analysis to detect MRTF-A/B in pancreatic cancer, intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) and non-neoplastic pancreata. MRTF-A/B expression differs significantly between cancer and non-neoplastic tissues as well as between non-neoplastic tissues and IPMN bulk tissues. Next, we studied the roles of MRTF-A/B in vitro. Overexpression of MRTF-A/B promoted epithelial‑mesenchymal transition (EMT) and generated stem cell-like cells in normal pancreatic cells. We performed quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction to detect the level of MRTF-A/B in 19 pancreatic cancer cell lines. We found that their expression was associated with gemcitabine resistance. Like in normal pancreatic cells, MRTF-A/B also promoted EMT and promoted formation of stem cell-like cells in pancreatic cancer and they could regulate microRNA expression associated with EMT and CICs. Finally, to further demonstrate the roles of MRTF-A/B in vivo, we performed nude mouse model of s.c. xenograft and found that overexpression of MRTF-A and MRTF-B promoted pancreatic cancer growth. Elucidating the roles of MRTF-A/B will help us to further understand molecular basis of the disease and offer new gene targets for effective therapies.
