Tyr23 phosphorylation of Anxa2 enhances STAT3 activation and promotes proliferation and invasion of breast cancer cells.

PURPOSE: Overexpression of Annexin A2 (Anxa2) is positively correlated with breast cancer progression, drug resistance, and poor prognosis of patients with breast cancer. Tyr23 Phosphorylation by Src-family tyrosine kinase is an important post-translational modification of Anxa2. This modification regulates the subcellular localization and functions of Anxa2 and has significant effects on cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. This study aims at revealing the association of Anxa2-Tyr23 phosphorylation in Anxa2-mediated acceleration of breast cancer progression and their elaborate molecular mechanisms.

METHODS: Cell biological function experiments were performed to determine the effects of Anxa2-Tyr23 Phosphorylation on breast cancer cell proliferation and invasion in vitro and metastasis in vivo. The interaction of Tyr23 phosphorylated Anxa2 and STAT3 was verified by co-immunoprecipitation assay. Related mRNA and protein expression levels of cyclin D1 and MMP2/9 and phosphorylation level of STAT3 were detected.

RESULTS: Anxa2-Tyr23 phosphorylation is necessary for proliferation, invasion, and metastasis of breast cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. Tyr23 phosphorylated Anxa2 binds and enhances the sensitivity of STAT3 activation in response to IL-6, thereby increasing the protein and mRNA expression levels of cyclin D1 and MMP2/9 which are STAT3 key target genes and serve pivotal regulatory functions in cell proliferation and invasion, respectively.

CONCLUSION: Our findings further confirmed the regulatory role of Anxa2 and revealed the direct relationship between Anxa2-Tyr23 phosphorylation and activation of STAT3. Moreover, this study provides novel insights into the function of Anxa2-Tyr23 phosphorylation in signal transduction for further understanding of the mechanism through which Anxa2 promotes the progression of breast cancer.
