SRSF3 Restriction Eases Cervical Cancer Cell Viability and Metastasis via Adjusting PI3K/AKT/mTOR Signaling Pathway

Abstract

Objective. To investigate the effect of SRSF3 on the viability and metastasis of cervical cancer (CC) SiHa and Hela cells. Methods. In vitro, HeLa cells and SiHa cells were cultured. In cervical cancer cells, RNA interference technology was utilized to lessen the SRSF3 level, and via RT-PCR utilization, the SRSF3 level in every group of cells was revealed. By employing the CCK-8 method, the OD value was revealed in every group at 24, 48, 72, and 96 h. On the migration of cervical cancer SiHa and HeLa cells via transwell utilizing, the consequence of SRSF3 was surveyed. Through western blotting utilizing, the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway-connected proteins levels was revealed. Results. In SiHa cells, contrasted to the NC-SiHa group, the SRSF3 level, the number of invasive cells per unit area, the p-PI3K/PI3K level, the p-AKT/AKT level, and the p-mTOR/mTOR level in the si-SRSF3 group were substantially lessened. The OD value at 490 nm of the si-SRSF3 group had no impressive divergence, contrasted to the NC-SiHa group at 24 h. At 48 h, the OD value of the si-SRSF3 group was impressively lessened than that of the NC-SiHa group. This connection was time-dependent. In HeLa cells, the SRSF3 level, the number of invasive cells per unit area, the level of p-PI3K/PI3K, the level of p-AKT/AKT, and the level of p-mTOR/mTOR in the cells of the si-SRSF3 group in the NC-HeLa group were impressively lessened than those in the NC-Hela group. Between the NC-HeLa group and the si-SRSF3 group at 24 h, there was no impressive divergence in the OD value at 490 nm. At 48 h, the OD value of the si-SRSF3 group was impressively lessened than that of the NC-SiHa group. This connection is time-dependent. Conclusion. Reducing the SRSF3 level can restrain the viability and metastasis of cervical cancer cells via restraining the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.
