Cyclin D1 plays a pivotal role in cell-cycle transition through G1 phase. In this article, we found that Degenerative Spermatocyte Homolog 1 (DEGS1) up-regulated the expression of cyclin D1 and the activation of transcription factor NF-kappa B was essential for DEGS1-induced cyclin D1 production. Forced expression of DEGS1 in Esophageal carcinoma cell line Eca109 cells increased their ability of cell migration and significantly induced tumor metastasis in nude mice, whereas RNA interference-mediated knockdown of DEGS1 cells significantly inhibited cell migration in vitro, as well as tumor metastasis in vivo. Our results demonstrated that expression of DEGS1 up-regulated the expression of cyclin D1 and enhanced the efficiency of tumor metastasis. (C) 2009 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
