The function role and synergic effect of syndecan-1 for mifepristone in uterine leiomyoma
2021
The study intends to investigate the regulation of syndecan-1 in human uterine leiomyoma cells. Human syndecan-1 levels were detected by Western blot in uterus leimyoma's tissue. The efficacy of syndecan-1 silencing on the cell proliferation, metalloproteinases and extracellular matrix were determined through Cell Counting Kit (CCK8) assay and Western blot assay, respectively. We compared the respective and combined effect of mifepristone and syndecan-1 on cell proliferation and the expression of metalloproteinases and extracellular matrix (ECM) in human uterine leiomyoma cells. The inhibitory effects of Syndecan-1 silencing on proliferation, ECM and Matrix Metalloproteinase (MMP) were observed in human uterine leiomyoma cells. Furthermore, syndecan-1 inhibition enhanced the effects of mifepristone against uterine leiomyoma cell proliferation. The expression of MMPs and ECM components in human uterine leiomyoma cells was decreased dramatically after syndecan-1 silencing, which was promoted after mifepristone treatment. Altogether, syndecan-1 silencing enhanced the efficacy of mifepristone on the uterine leiomyoma cell proliferation and ECM formation. Therefore, targeting syndecan-1 represents a novel therapeutic strategy to treat uterine leiomyoma.
