Abstract

Metastasis-associated colon cancer-1 (MACC1) plays an important role in cancer development, but the role and mechansim of MACC1 in squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remain unclear. In this study, we found that MACC1 expression was increased in ESCC, and correlated with lymph node metastasis. MACC1 knockdown suppresed ESCC cell proliferation, metastasis and enchanced cell apoptosis. Moreover, MACC1 knockdown inhibited ESCC cell autophagy, and 3-methyladenine was able to rescue MACC1-induced malignant phenotype of ESCC cells. Furthermore, MACC1 knockdown inactivated AMPK-ULK1 signaling pathway, and metformin could rescue MACC1-induced autophagy in ESCC cells. Collectively, this study found that upregulation of MACC1 in ESCC was associated with lymph node metastasis of patients, and MACC1 regulated ESCC cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion mainly through AMPK-ULK1 induced autophagy.
