HOXA10 enhances cell proliferation and suppresses apoptosis in esophageal cancer via activating p38/ERK signaling pathway

Abstract: Esophageal cancer (EC) is an extremely aggressive malignant tumor. Homeobox A10 (HOXA10) is highly expressed and plays an important role in a variety of tumors. However, the function of HOXA10 in EC remains unclear. In this study, HOXA10 was observed to highly express in EC tissues and cells. Interestingly, the CCK-8 assay, flow cytometry, and colony formation assay confirmed that overexpression of HOXA10 promoted proliferation and suppressed cell apoptosis in EC cells. More importantly, the western blot assay indicated that the phosphorylation levels of ERK and p38 were elevated in EC cells overexpressed HOXA10, indicating that overexpression of HOXA10 activated p38/ERK signaling pathway in EC cells. These findings concluded that HOXA10 aggravated EC progression via activating p38/ERK signaling pathway, providing a potential therapeutic target for EC.
