| Abstract: |
TRAF6 has been reported to be associated with poor prognosis in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, its precise role in tumor development has not been elaborated. In the present study, the function and the mechanism by which TRAF6 contributes to development were intensively investigated. TRAF6 was found to be overexpressed in primary NSCLC tumor tissue and all tested cell lines. Knockdown of TRAF6 with shRNA substantially attenuated NSCLC cell proliferation and anchorage-independent growth. Moreover, tumor glycolysis, such as glucose consumption and lactate production, also significantly impaired. In TRAF6-deficient cells, hexokinase-2 expression was significantly reduced, which was caused by the decrease of HIF-1α transcriptional activity. Further investigations demonstrated that TRAF6 played an important role in the regulation of Akt activation, and exogenous overexpression of constitutively activated Akt substantially rescued glycolysis suppression in TRAF6 knockdown cells. The results of the xenograft model confirmed that downregulation of TRAF6 in NSCLC tumor cells dramatically restrained tumor growth in vivo. Taken together, our studies revealed the mechanism by which TRAF6 exerts its role in NSCLC development and suggested TRAF6 maybe was a promising candidate target for lung cancer prevention and therapy.
