Silencing FYVE, RhoGEF and PH domain containing 1 (FGD1) suppresses melanoma progression by inhibiting PI3K/AKT signaling pathway
Cutaneous melanoma is the leading cause of death among skin cancers despite the availability of diverse treatments. FGD1 plays an important role in multiple cancers, but how it works in cutaneous melanoma has not been illustrated. Thus, this study was intended to investigate the roles of FGD1 and it...

Cutaneous melanoma is the leading cause of death among skin cancers despite the availability of diverse treatments. FGD1 plays an important role in multiple cancers, but how it works in cutaneous melanoma has not been illustrated. Thus, this study was intended to investigate the roles of FGD1 and its underlying mechanisms in cutaneous melanoma. Bioinformatics tools and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) were used to analyze the expression of FGD1 in cutaneous melanoma. After knockdown of FGD1 in melanoma cells, the proliferation, migration and invasion of cells were analyzed by cell counting kit-8 (CCK8) assay, colony formation assay and transwell assays. Western blot was used to check the expression of key factors in PI3K/AKT pathway. In addition, nude mice models were used to study the role of FGD1 in melanoma development and metastasis in vivo. The data demonstrated that FGD1 was up-regulated and predicted a poor clinical outcome for cutaneous melanoma patients. Knockdown of FGD1 inhibited melanoma cell proliferation, migration and invasion. The expressions of p-PI3K and p-AKT were significantly decreased while the expressions of PI3K and AKT showed no marked difference in the knockdown group. Meanwhile, knockdown of FGD1 suppressed the development of melanoma in vivo. This study suggested that knockdown of FGD1 could block melanoma formation and proliferation by inhibiting PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. FGD1 might be a promising threptic target for melanoma. |
