Abstract
AIM: To examine the role of keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) in regulating the biological behavior of pancreatic cancer cells.
METHODS: Immunoblotting (IB) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were used to detect the protein and mRNA levels of KGF and its receptor in six pancreatic cancer cell lines (CaPan-2, BxPc-3, MIAPaca-2, ASPc-1, SW-1990, and PANC-2). MTT, migration and invasion assays were used to detect the role of KGF in regulating cell proliferation, migration and invasion in pancreatic cancer cell line BxPC-3.
RESULTS: The protein level of KGF was lower in BxPC-3 cells than in other five pancreatic cancer cell lines, while the mRNA level of KGFR was higher in BxPC-3 cells than in other five cell lines. KGF could significantly promote BxPc-3 cell proliferation, migration and invasion (all P < 0.01).
CONCLUSION: KGF can promote cell proliferation, migration and invasion in some pancreatic cancer cell lines.
