To investigate the expression of CK2 subunits, and CK2 effects on NF-κB and TP53 mediated signal activation and gene expression, the malignant phenotype, and chemosensitivity in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) in vitro and in vivo. Protein expression of CK2 subunits was investigated by Western blot and immunohistochemistry. CK2 subunits were knocked down by siRNA, and NF-κB activation was examined using DNA binding, Western blot, and luciferase reporter assays. Gene expression was measured by quantitative RT-PCR. Cell growth, survival, motility, and sensitivity to cisplatin were measured by MTT, flow cytometry and migration assays. In vivo targeting of CK2α/α′ in HNSCC xenograft models was achieved using anti-CK2α/α′ oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) encapsulated in sub-50 nm tenfibgen nanocapsules. CK2 subunit proteins were overexpressed in HNSCC lines and tissues. Knockdown of CK2 subunits differentially inhibited IκBα degradation, NF-κB nuclear localization, phosphorylation, DNA binding, and reporter activity. CK2 subunits modulated gene expression and the malignant phenotype involved in cell cycle and migration, while CK2α is critical to promote proliferation, anti-apoptosis and cisplatin resistance in vitro. Further, in vivo delivery of anti-CK2α/α′ ODN nanocapsules significantly suppressed tumor growth in HNSCC xenograft models, in association with modulation of CK2 and NF-κB regulated molecules, TP53 family proteins, and induction of apoptosis. Our study reveals a novel role of CK2 in co-regulating NF-κB activation, and TP53/p63 expression, and downstream gene expression. Downregulation of CK2 in HNSCC models in vitro and in vivo demonstrates antitumor effects as well as sensitization to cisplatin.
