ジャーナル Mod Pathol
Abstract Ribosomal protein S6 is a key regulator of 40S ribosome biogenesis, and its phosphorylation is closely related to cell growth capacity. However, as a downstream target of S6 kinases, the clinical significance and the roles of S6 and S6 phosphorylation in cell viability and motility of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma remain unclear. Here, we show that high level of phosphorylated-ribosomal protein S6 (p-S6) (immunohistochemistry score ≥5) and an increased ratio of p-S6/S6 (immunohistochemistry score ≥0.75) were significantly associated with shortened disease-free survival in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in univariate analysis (P=0.049 and P<0.001, respectively). After adjusting for age, tumor-nodes-metastasis stage, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy in multivariate analysis, both p-S6 (hazard ratio 2.21, P=0.005) and p-S6/S6 (hazard ratio 2.40, P<0.001) remained independent adverse prognostic factors. In addition, S6 and S6 kinase 1 knockdown resulted in attenuation of viability by suppressing cyclin D1 expression in esophageal cancer cells. Furthermore, depletion of S6 and S6 kinase 1 resulted in a reduction in esophageal cancer cell migration and invasion. This was paralleled by a reduction in focal adhesion and by suppression of extracellular signal-regulated kinase and c-jun N-terminal kinase phosphorylation, which control cell motility. Collectively, these findings suggest that p-S6 and the ratio of p-S6/S6 are closely relevant to tumor progression and have prognostic significance in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
