EMT induced by loss of LKB1 promotes migration and invasion of liver cancer cells through ZEB1-induced YAP signaling.
Oncology Letters 2018 November
Liver cancer cells often exhibit mesenchymal phenotypes, a critical phenotypic alteration of cancer cells termed the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). To examine whether liver kinase B1 (LKB1) serves a potential role in EMT in liver carcinogenesis, in the present study, it was determined that the expression of LKB1 decreased in the hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell line, compared with a normal liver cell line. LKB1 overexpression decreased cell motility and invasiveness. Furthermore, the loss of LKB1 induced the expression of several EMT marker proteins, including that of Zinc Finger E-Box Binding Homeobox 1 (ZEB1). Notably, the expression of Yes-associated protein (YAP) was positively associated with that of ZEB1 in LKB1-knockdown cells with a mesenchymal phenotype. Here, we describe the direct regulation of the Hippo pathway effector YAP by ZEB1. The findings of the present study demonstrate that ZEB1 regulates the expression of YAP and regulates the expression of downstream target genes to promote malignant progression.
