Objective To investigate the effect of exogenous CXCL12 on the migration of lung cancer cells by activating the CXCR4/AKT signaling pathway.Methods Lung cancer cells were treated by exogenous CXCL12.Western blot was used to measure the autophagy-related protein microtubule-associated protein light chain 3B Ⅱ(LC3B Ⅱ)and the proteins associated with the CXCR4/AKT signaling pathway,and wound healing assay was used to observe cell migration.Results Compared with the control group,the group with the addition of exogenous CXCL12 had significant increases in the migration ability of cells(t=3.949,P<0.05)and the expression of the autophagy-related protein LC3B Ⅱ(t=3.051,P<0.05),as well as significant increases in the expression of CXCR4 and the phosphorylation level of AKT(t=2.974,4.307,P<0.05).Conclusion CXCL12 may pro-mote the migration of lung cancer cells by inducing autophagy via the CXCR4/AKT signaling pathway.
