CD73 Severed as a Potential Prognostic Marker and Promote Lung Cancer Cells Migration via Enhancing EMT Progression

To investigate the expression levels and prognostic value of CD73 in lung cancer. And moreover, to identify the effect and potential mechanism of CD73 on lung cancer cells proliferation and migration. CD73 expression levels in lung cancer were analyzed base on GEPIA2 and GEO database. GEPIA2 and Kap...

description To investigate the expression levels and prognostic value of CD73 in lung cancer. And moreover, to identify the effect and potential mechanism of CD73 on lung cancer cells proliferation and migration. CD73 expression levels in lung cancer were analyzed base on GEPIA2 and GEO database. GEPIA2 and Kaplan-Meier Plotter (KM Plotter) was used to analyzed the correlation between CD73 expression and prognosis. GEO dataset were analyzed via GEO2R. CD73 overexpression cell model was construction via recombinant lentivirus transfection into A549 and NCI-H520 cells. CCK8 assay were used to investigate cells proliferation. Migration and invasion ability were evaluated by scratch and transwell methods. Base on GEPIA2, GSE32683, GSE116959 and GSE37745 dataset, we found that CD73 expression were significant higher in tumor tissues of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) compared with that in non-tumor normal tissues and in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), while there were no significant difference of CD73 expression between LUSC and normal control tissues. Interestingly, a high CD73 level predict poor overall survival (OS) of LUSC. However, GEPIA2 and KM plotter showed the opposite conclusion of prognostic value of CD73 in LUAD. By using cell experiments, we found that CD73 overexpression promoted proliferation and migration of LUAD A549 cells. However, there was no significant effect of CD73 overexpression on LUSC NCI-H520 cells. Furthermore, CD73 overexpression facilitates epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) progression of A549 cells. In conclusion, our results indicated that CD73 expression were increased in LUAD and might be an poor prognostic marker for LUSC patients. CD73 play an important role in LUAD cells proliferation and migration. These data allowed to support CD73 as a therapeutic target for LUAD.
