Abstract

The tumor protein D52 (TPD52) protein family includes TPD52, -53, -54 and -55. Several reports have shown important roles for TPD52 and TPD53, and have also suggested the potential involvement of TPD54, in D52-family physiological effects. Therefore, we performed detailed expression analysis of TPD52 family proteins in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Towards this end, TPD54-overexpressing or knocked-down cells were constructed using OSCC-derived SAS, HSC2 and HSC3 cells. tpd52 or tpd53 was expressed or co-expressed in these cells by transfection. The cells were then analyzed using cell viability (MTT), colony formation, migration, and invasion assays. In OSCC-xenograft experiments, the cells were transplanted into nude mice together with injection of anti-tpd siRNAs. MTT assay of cell monolayers showed little differences in growth of the transfected cells. tpd54 overexpression in SAS cells significantly decreased colony formation in an anchorage-independent manner. Additionally, knock-down of tpd54 enhanced the number of colonies formed and overexpression of tpd52 in tpd54 knock-down cells increased the size of the colonies formed. The chemotaxis assay showed that tpd54 overexpression decreased cell migration. In the OSCC-xenograft in vivo study, tpd54 overexpression slightly attenuated tumor volume in vivo, despite the fact that tumor metastasis or cell survival was not involved. Our results showed that TPD54 not only downregulated anchorage-independent growth and cell migration in vitro, but also attenuated tumor growth in vivo. Based on these results, it is considered that TPD54 might act as a negative regulator of tumor progression in OSCC cells.
