Abstract:
Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers with high morbidity and mortality. Effective treatments to improve the prognosis are still lacking. The results of online analysis tools showed that OCT1 and LDHA were highly expressed in colorectal cancer, and the high expression of OCT1 was associated with poor prognosis. Immunofluorescence demonstrated that OCT1 and LDHA co-localized in colorectal cancer cells. In colorectal cancer cells, OCT1 and LDHA were upregulated by OCT1 overexpression, but downregulated by OCT1 knockdown. OCT1 overexpression promoted cell migration. OCT1 or LDHA knockdown inhibited the migration, and the downregulation of LDHA restored the promoting effect of OCT1 overexpression. OCT1 upregulation increased the levels of HK2, GLUT1 and LDHA proteins in colorectal cancer cells. Consequently, OCT1 promoted the migration of colorectal cancer cells by upregulating LDHA.
