To investigate the functional role of the chemokine CXCL5 in mediating the proliferation, migration, invasion, and tumorigenic capacity of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
Evaluated CXCL5 protein secretion via Western blotting of conditioned media from paired synchronous primary tumor and lymph node metastasis cell lines.
Knocked down CXCL5 expression using RNA interference (shL5) alongside non-targeting control sequences.
Assessed cellular proliferation, in vitro migration and basement membrane invasion, and in vivo tumorigenic potential in nude mouse models.
CXCL5 secretion was detected in conditioned media of lymph node metastasis-derived cells but was absent in synchronous primary tumor cells.
Knockdown of CXCL5 led to reduced cell proliferation and impaired in vitro migration and invasion through a basement membrane substitute compared to control cells.
Tumorigenic potential in vivo was completely ablated in CXCL5-depleted cells, in contrast to control cells which were highly tumorigenic in nude mice.
