Abstract:Objective To study the expression of Toll-like Receptor 4 (TLR4) / nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) in cervical cancer, and to explore the relationship between TLR4/ NF-κB expression with proliferation and migration of cervical cancer and its mechanism.Methods Real time quantitative PCR was used to compare the expression of TLR4/ NF-κB in cervical cancer tissues and adjacent tissues. The expression of TLR4 in human cervical cancer cell line HCE1 was silenced or over-expressed by liposome-mediated transfection. The effect of TLR4 on cell proliferation, migration, invasiveness ability was detected by CCK8, scratch test and Transwell assay. The changes of Myd88, ERK1/2 and NF-κB signal molecules were further detected.Results The expression of TLR4/ NF-κB in tumor tissue was significantly higher than that of adjacent tissue (P<0.05), and the relative expression of TLR4/ NF-κB in HCE1 was significantly higher than that of normal cervical epithelial cells (P<0.05). The cell proliferation ability of TLR4 silencing group was significantly lower than that of NC group (P<0.05), while the ability in TLR4 overexpressed cells was significantly higher (P<0.05). The proportion of healing area in TLR4 silencing group was significantly lower than that in NC group (P<0.05), while the proportion in TLR4 overexpressed group was significantly increased (P<0.05). The number of penetrating cells in TLR4 silencing group was significantly less than that in group NC (P<0.05), while the number in TLR4 overexpressed group was significantly higher (P<0.05). The expression of Myd88, ERK1/2 and NF-κB in TLR4 silencing group was significantly lower than that in NC group, while their expression in TLR4 overexpressed group was significantly higher (P<0.05).Conclusion Upregulated TLR4/ NF-κB activation could promote the proliferation, migration and invasion of cervical cancer.
