GalNAc-T14 promotes metastasis through Wnt dependent HOXB9 expression in lung adenocarcinoma.
    Oncotarget, 2015, Dec-08, Volume: 6, Issue:39

    While metastasis, the main cause of lung cancer-related death, has been extensively studied, the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear. A previous clinicogenomic study revealed that expression of N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase (GalNAc-T14), is highly inversely correlated with recurrence-free survival in those with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the underlying molecular mechanism(s) has not been determined. Here, we showed that GalNAc-T14 expression was positively associated with the invasive phenotype. Microarray and biochemical analyses revealed that HOXB9, the expression of which was increased in a GalNAc-T14-dependent manner, played an important role in metastasis. GalNAc-T14 increased the sensitivity of the WNT response and increased the stability of the β-catenin protein, leading to induced expression of HOXB9 and acquisition of an invasive phenotype. Pharmacological inhibition of β-catenin in GalNAc-T14-expressing cancer cells suppressed HOXB9 expression and invasion. A meta-analysis of clinical genomics data revealed that expression of GalNAc-T14 or HOXB9 was strongly correlated with reduced recurrence-free survival and increased hazard risk, suggesting that targeting β-catenin within the GalNAc-T14/WNT/HOXB9 axis may be a novel therapeutic approach to inhibit metastasis in NSCLC.

β-Catenin Cooperates with CREB Binding Protein to Promote the Growth of Tumor Cells.
    Cellular physiology and biochemistry : international journal of experimental cellular physiology, biochemistry, and pharmacology, 2017, Volume: 44, Issue:2

    β-catenin is an integral component of the canonical Wnt signaling pathway, and its mutations are an autosomal recessive cause of colorectal cancer (CRC), medulloblastoma (MDB), and ovarian cancer. Nevertheless, little is known about its function in lung cancers.. We first knocked down β-catenin by siRNA to investigate its effects on lung cancer cell proliferation, migration and apoptosis. Then we verified the interaction between β-catenin and CREB binding protein (CBP) by immunofluoresence and co-immunoprecipition assays. Finally, the expression of β-catenin and CBP in human lung adenocarcinoma specimens were analyzed by immunohistochemistry assay.. β-catenin knockdown inhibited cell proliferation, promoted apoptosis and suppressed cell migration in A549 and H460 cells accompanied by the decreased expression of Myc, PCNA, VEGF, CD44, MMP-9, MMP-13 and activated bax/caspase-3 pathway. Furthermore, co-immunoprecipition and immunofluoresence analyses revealed that CBP interacted with β-catenin and contributed to β-catenin-mediated lung cancer cell growth. Abolishment of their interaction by the Wnt/β-catenin inhibitor ICG-001 remarkably suppressed cell proliferation. Immunohistochemistry assay of tissue microarrays from patients with lung cancer indicated that both CBP and β-catenin were highly expressed in tumor tissues and predicted poor prognosis in lung adenocarcinoma patients.. Our study has provided new evidence for the role of β-catenin in promoting the growth of lung cancer cells through cooperation with CBP, and suggested that dual targeting of β-catenin and CBP could be a potential therapeutic strategy in lung cancer treatment.
