Abstract

Graphic abstract

Purpose: Several studies have indicated that SLC39A7 plays an important role in tumor progression; however, little is known about the function and mechanism of SLC39A7 in glioma. In this study, we aimed to explore the role of SLC39A7 in glioma development.

Patients and methods: Bioinformatic analysis was used to predict the role of SLC39A7 in glioma. Cell viability and Edu assays were used to detect the proliferation of glioma cells. A transwell assay was used to measure the invasion and migration of glioma cells. Western blotting, qPCR and ELISA were used to detect the expression of all molecules.

Results: SLC39A7 was found to be highly expressed in high-grade glioma patients with a poor prognosis. Our results indicated that SLC39A7 significantly promoted the proliferation, invasion and migration of glioma cells. Furthermore, SLC39A7 promoted tumorigenesis in orthotopic models. We determined that SLC39A7 promotes the malignant behaviors of glioma by activating the TNF-α-mediated NF-κB signaling pathway.

Conclusion: Our study revealed that SLC39A7 promotes the proliferation, invasion and migration of glioma cells via the TNF-α-mediated NF-κB signaling pathway, which provides potential targets for glioma therapy.

Keywords: SLC39A7, glioma, invasion, tumorigenesis, migration.
