Synaptotagmin 13 Could Drive the Progression of Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Through Upregulating ACRV1.

SYT13 is one of the atypical members of the synaptotagmin (SYT) family whose function has attracted considerable attention in recent years. Although SYT13 has been studied in several types of human cancers, such as lung cancer, its role in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is still unclear. It was demonstrated that SYT13 is significantly upregulated in ESCC tissues compared with normal ones and correlated with higher degree of malignancy. Knockdown of SYT13 could inhibit ESCC cell proliferation and migration, while promoting cell apoptosis. Meanwhile, ESCC cells with relatively lower SYT13 expression grew slower in vivo and finally formed smaller xenografts. Furthermore, acrosomal vesicular protein 1 was identified as a potential downstream target of SYT13, which regulates cell phenotypes of ESCC cells in cooperation with SYT13. All the in vitro and in vivo results in this study identified that SYT13 silencing could be an effective strategy to inhibit the development of ESCC, which could be considered as a promising therapeutic target in the treatment of ESCC.
