METHODS: Effect of SDF-1 on E-cadherin/β-catenin expression was detected by immunocytochemistry. E-cadherin and/3-catenin mRNA expression levels were measured by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. SDF-l-induced phosphorylation of phosphati- dylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT and β-catenin was detected by Western blotting. RESULTS: The E-cadherin and β-catenin mRNA ex-pression levels in HT29 cells were lower 48 h after incubated with SDF-1 at the concentrations of 20 and 40 ng/mL (P 〈 0.05). SDF-l-induced significant phosphorylation of PI3K/AKT and β-catenin. AMD3100 and LY294002 inhibited the phosphorylation of PI3K/AKT and β-catenin. CONCLUSION: SDF-1 down-regulates the E-cadherin/ β-catenin complex expression in HT29 cells by decreasing mRNA synthesis and increasing β-catenin phosphorylation.展开更多
