However, the specific effects of PDIA6 on gastric cancer (GC) remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the expression pattern and biological functions of PDIA6 in GC.Materials and Methods: The CCK-8 assay was carried out to examine cell proliferation and cisplatin cytotoxicity. The Western blot analysis was used to measure the protein expression of PDIA6, Wnt3a and β-catenin. The xenograft tumor assay was performed to evaluate the in vivo effect of PDIA6 on GC cell proliferation and chemoresistance.Results: PDIA6 was significantly elevated in GC tissues and cell lines. Down-regulation of PDIA6 inhibited GC cell proliferation and chemoresistance to cisplatin while up-regulation of PDIA6 promoted the proliferation and chemoresistance of GC cells. Besides, PDIA6 regulated the chemosensitivity of GC cells to cisplatin in vivo. Mechanically, PDIA6 served as a regulator of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway by affecting the protein expression of Wnt3a and β-catenin in GC cells. Additionally, Wnt activator reversed the inhibitory effect of PDIA6 knockdown on cisplatin resistance in GC cells.Conclusion: These findings provided new insight into the potential role of PDIA6 as a promising target for drug resistance in GC chemotherapy.Keywords: PDIA6, proliferation, chemosensitivity, gastric cancer |
