Oncotarget

Oncotarget (a primarily oncology-focused, peer-reviewed, open access journal) aims to maximize research impact through insightful peer-review; eliminate borders between specialties by linking different fields of oncology, cancer research and biomedical sciences; and foster application of basic and clinical science.

Its scope is unique. The term "oncotarget" encompasses all molecules, pathways, cellular functions, cell types, and even tissues that can be viewed as targets relevant to cancer as well as other diseases. The term was introduced in the inaugural Editorial, Introducing Oncotarget.

As of January 1, 2022, Oncotarget has shifted to a continuous publishing model. Papers will now be published continuously within yearly volumes in their final and complete form and then quickly released to Pubmed.

ABSTRACT

Na⁺/H⁺ exchanger 1 (NHE1) is a plasma membrane transporter that controls intracellular pH and regulates apoptosis and invasion in various cancer cells. However, the function of NHE1 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cells and the relationship between the expression of NHE1 and prognosis of ESCC remain unclear. We found that the knockdown of NHE1 in ESCC cells inhibited apoptosis and promoted cell proliferation, migration, and invasion and showed increases in Snail, β-catenin, and activation of PI3K-AKT signaling, which was consistent with the results obtained from microarrays. Microarrays results suggested that the knockdown of NHE1 suppressed Notch signaling pathway. An immunohistochemical investigation of 61 primary ESCC samples revealed that NHE1 was expressed at higher levels in well-differentiated tumors. The 5-year survival rate was poorer in the NHE1 low group (57.0%) than in the NHE1 high group (82.8%). Multivariate analyses revealed that the weak expression of NHE1 was associated with shorter postoperative survival (hazard ratio 3.570, 95% CI 1.291-11.484, p = 0.0135).We herein demonstrated that the suppression of NHE1 in ESCC may enhance malignant potential by mediating PI3K-AKT signaling and EMT via Notch signaling, and may be related to a poor prognosis in patients with ESCC.
