Abstract

Phospholipase C (PLC) is a pivotal enzyme in the phosphoinositide pathway that promotes the second messengers, diacylglycerol (DAG) and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3), to participate in eukaryotic signal transduction. Several PLC isozymes are associated with cancer, such as PLC-β1, PLC-δ1, PLC-ε and PLC-γ1. However, the role of PLC-δ3 (PLCD3) in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) has not been investigated to date. In our previous study, we demonstrated that flotillin2 (Flot2) plays a pro-neoplastic role in NPC and is involved in tumour progression and metastasis. In the present study, we screened the interacting proteins of Flot2 using the yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) method and verified the interaction between PLCD3 and Flot2 by co-immunoprecipitation. We also investigated the biological functions of PLCD3 in NPC. Inhibition of PLCD3 expression impaired the malignant potential of 5-8F, a highly metastatic NPC cell line, by restraining its growth, proliferation, mobility and migration. The present study demonstrated that PLCD3 may be an oncogenic protein in NPC and that it plays an important role in the progression of NPC partially by interacting with Flot2.
