Abstract

Background: Peroxiredoxin 1 (PRDX1) has been identified as a dual regulator of tumor-igenesis. However, its expression, clinical significance, and biological function in nasophar-yngeal carcinoma (NPC) remain unknown. This study aimed to explore the role and underlying mechanisms of PRDX1 in NPC. Materials and Methods: The expression of PRDX1 in NPC tissues was evaluated by immunohistochemistry, and the relationships between the expression of PRDX1 and clinical features and prognosis of NPC patients were analyzed. The effects of PRDX1 on NPC cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) were examined. A tumor-bearing model of nude mouse was established to verify the function of PRDX1 in vivo. Results: PRDX1 expression level was negatively associated with recurrence and metastasis of NPC. PRDX1 knockdown promoted NPC cell proliferation, migration, invasion and EMT in vitro, and enhanced tumor growth in vivo, while PRDX1 overexpression had opposite effects. Furthermore, transcriptome analysis showed that PRDX1 inhibited the activation of PI3K/AKT/TRAF1 signaling in NPC cells. Conclusion: PRDX1 inhibits NPC by inhibiting the activation of PI3K/AKT/TRAF1 signaling. PRDX1 is a tumor suppressor in human NPC and may be a prognostic biomarker for NPC patients.
