  • Abstract:Y-box-binding protein 1 (YB-1) is a DNA/RNA--binding protein and an important transcription and translation factor in carcinogenesis. However, the biological function and molecular correlation of YB-1 in colorectal cancer are not fully understood. The aim of the present study was to determine the significance of YB-1 expression and its biological role in colorectal cancer. Cell proliferation, migration and apoptosis were examined upon knockdown of YB-1 expression in different colon cancer cell lines that had different genetic backgrounds. Since the properties of different colon cancer cell lines with specific RAS/RAF gene mutations downstream epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) may differ from wild-type colorectal cancer, it is critical to study the role of YB-1 with respect to the mutational status of RAS. The results indicated that the suppression of YB-1 decreased cell proliferation (P<0.05) and migration (P<0.05) regardless of the status of RAS/RAF in the HT29, HCT116 and CaCo2 cell lines. In contrast, YB-1 knockdown altered the expression of apoptosis-related genes and the expression of EGFR was detected in the cell lines expressing wild-type RAS/RAF but not in those expressing mutated RAS/RAF. These results indicated that YB-1 plays an important role in cell proliferation, migration, apoptosis and EGFR expression in colorectal cancer. Furthermore, apoptosis and EGFR expression may be affected by the mutational status of RAS/RAF and controlled through YB-1.
