Abstract  

Objective: To investigate the effect of S100A9 on hepatocellular carcinoma cell HepG2 and the relevant mechanism.Methods: CCK-8 assay and cell migration assay were used to study HepG2 growth and migration mediated by Hepatitis B virus X (HBx) respectively. Transfected S100A9-siRNA into cells for silencing S100A9 expression, then the growth and migration of HepG2 infected with AdHBx were analyzed. Real-time PCR and Western blot were used to detect S100A9 mRNA levels and expression in HepG2 cells infected with AdHBx or AdGFP. After the treatment with or without NF-κB inhibitor BAY11-7082, S100A9 mRNA levels and expression in AdHBx-infected HepG2 cells were detected again.Result: HBx enhances the growth and migration of HepG2 cells. Silencing S100A9 expression partially blocked HBx-induced growth and migration of HepG2 cells. The mRNA level and protein expression of S100A9 were significantly higher in HepG2 cells infected with AdHBx than with AdGFP, and that suggests S100A9 expression can be modulated by HBx. NF-κB inhibitor treatment efficiently suppressed the increase of S100A9 levels caused by HBx.Conclusion: Expression of S100A9 is regulated by HBx-mediated NF-κB activation, and S100A9 plays an important role in HBx-induced growth and migration of hepatocellular carcinoma cell HepG2.
