Abstract

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignancies, and chemoresistance is one of the key obstacles in the clinical outcome. Here, we studied the function of B7-H3 in regulating cell cycle-mediated chemoresistance in CRC. The ability of B7-H3 in regulating chemoresistance was investigated via cell viability, clonogenicity, apoptosis and cycle analysis in vitro. Moreover, the role of B7-H3/CDC25A axis in regulating chemoresistance in vivo in the xenograft tumor models by intraperitoneal injection of oxaliplatin (L-OHP) and CDC25A inhibitors. The correlation between B7-H3 and CDC25A was examined in the CRC patients by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and pathological analyses. We found that B7-H3 could effectively enhance the resistance to a chemotherapeutic drug (oxaliplatin or 5-fluorouracil) via CDC25A. B7-H3 regulated the expression of CDC25A by the STAT3 signaling pathway in CRC cells. Furthermore, overexpression of B7-H3 enhanced chemoresistance by reducing the G2/M phase arrest in a CDC25A-dependent manner. Silencing CDC25A or treatment with CDC25A inhibitor could reverse the B7-H3-induced chemoresistance of cancer cells. Moreover, both B7-H3 and CDC25A were significantly upregulated in CRC samples compared with normal adjacent tissues and that the levels correlated with tumor stage. CDC25A was positively correlated with B7-H3 expression in this cohort. Taken together, our findings provide an alternative mechanism by which CRC cells can acquire chemoresistance via the B7-H3/CDC25A axis.
