Core Tip Dietary zinc deficiency has been shown to be associated with the development of esophageal cancer in humans, but the exact mechanism of action is not known. The aim of this study was to observe the effects of dietary zinc deficiency on esophageal squamous cell proliferation. In addition, we investigated the pathway of zinc deficiency-induced esophageal squamous cell proliferation by detecting the expression of five predictive biomarkers. The results of the study showed that zinc-deficient diet decreased the growth rate and promoted the proliferation of esophageal epithelial squamous cells in mice. The mechanism was related to the induced overexpression of cyclooxygenase-2, P38, proliferating cell nuclear antigen, and nuclear factor kappa B (p105 and p65), and zinc replenishment reduced the expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen, nuclear factor kappa B p105, and cyclooxygenase-2, thereby reversing this process.
