- Abstract
Interleukin-17 (IL-17) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α are able to cooperatively alter the expression levels of a number of genes. In the present study, the mRNA expression levels of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α were analyzed in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells following treatment with IL-17, TNF-α or the combination of IL-17 and TNF-α. The protein expression levels of HIF-1α and vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) were evaluated using western blot analysis. The adhesive ability of the cells was determined using an MTT assay following treatment with HIF-1α-small interfering RNA and short hairpin RNA-VASP that were used to suppress the expression levels of HIF-1α and VASP protein, respectively. These results demonstrated that IL-17 augmented TNF-α-induced gene expression of HIF-1α. The combination of IL-17 and TNF-α promoted an increase in HIF-1α expression and a decrease in VASP expression and a reduction in the adhesive ability of cells. These results demonstrated that IL-17 effectively enhanced the TNF-α-induced increase in HIF-1α and inhibited VASP expression, thus reducing the adhesion of MDA-MB-231 cells.
