Aim: To investigate the sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptor expression profile in human esophageal cancer cells and the effects of S1P5 on proliferation and migration of human esophageal cancer cells.
Methods: S1P receptor expression profile in human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cell line Eca109 was detected by semi-quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Eca109 cells were stably transfected with S1P5-EGFP or control-EGFP constructs. The relation between the responses of cell proliferation and migration to S1P and S1P5 expression was evaluated by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide and migration assay, respectively.
Results: Both normal human esophageal mucosal epithelium and Eca109 cells expressed S1P1, S1P2, S1P3 and S1P5, respectively. Esophageal mucosal epithelium expressed S1P5 at a higher level than Eca109 cell line. S1P5 over-expressing Eca109 cells displayed spindle cell morphology with elongated and extended filopodia-like projections. The proliferation response of S1P5-transfected Eca109 cells was lower than that of control vector-transfected cells with or without S1P stimulation (P < 0.05 or 0.01). S1P significantly inhibited the migration of S1P5-transfected Eca109 cells (P < 0.001). However, without S1P in transwell lower chamber, the number of migrated S1P5-transfected Eca109 cells was greater than that of control vector-transfected Eca109 cells (P < 0.001).
Conclusion: S1P binding to S1P5 inhibits the proliferation and migration of S1P5-transfected Eca109 cells. Esophageal cancer cells may down-regulate the expression of S1P5 to escape the inhibitory effect.

Saikosaponin D is the saikosaponin with the highest biological activity in Bupleurum chinense DC, which has anti-tumor effects on a variety of human tumors. In this study, we aimed to explore the SSD-induced apoptosis mechanism in ESCC cells. We predicted the targets of SSD and ESCC through several databases and analyzed the intersecting targets to identify the connections and possible pathways between proteins.

N-methyl-n'-nitroso-n'-nitroso guanidine (MNNG) can induce esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), and microRNAs are associated with the development of ESCC and may serve as potential tumor prognostic markers. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the potential function of miR-101-3p in MNNG-induced ESCC. An investigation of risk factors in patients with ESCC was carried out and the concentration of nine nitrosamines in urine samples was detected by the SPE-GC-MS technique.

Background And Objective: High morbidity, high mortality and poor prognosis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) highlights the urgent need for novel therapeutic strategies against ESCC. The current study addresses the precise role of M2-like macrophages-derived CCL17 in ESCC progression and to thoroughly elucidate the intrinsic molecular mechanisms.
Methods: In this work, for functional experiments, Eca109 cells cultivated in M2-CM were treated with anti-IgG (50 μg/ml) or anti-CCL17 (50 μg/ml) to expound the tumorpromoting effects of M2-like macrophage-derived CCL17 in ESCC.
