Abstract
Among patients with colorectal cancer (CRC), metastasis accounts for the majority of deaths, and epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) is important in the metastatic process. However, the mechanism underlying the correlation between the two in CRC is unknown. Here, we verified that a receptor-independent protein, G-protein signaling modulator 1 (GPSM1), was increased in CRC and had a significant positive correlation with matrix metalloproteinase 19 (MMP19). GPSM1 and MMP19 knockdown or overexpression decreased and increased proliferation, migration and invasion of CRC cells, respectively. In addition, overexpression or knockdown of GPSM1 and MMP19 upregulated and inhibited EMT, respectively. Interfering with MMP19 reversed EMT activation via GPSM1 overexpression. Apoptosis was induced by GPSM1 and MMP19 knockdown and activated the caspase3/Bcl-2/Bax signaling pathway. In conclusion, these results support the role of GPSM1 and MMP19 in CRC progression.
期刊介绍:
BBA Molecular Cell Research focuses on understanding the mechanisms of cellular processes at the molecular level. These include aspects of cellular signaling, signal transduction, cell cycle, apoptosis, intracellular trafficking, secretory and endocytic pathways, biogenesis of cell organelles, cytoskeletal structures, cellular interactions, cell/tissue differentiation and cellular enzymology. Also included are studies at the interface between Cell Biology and Biophysics which apply for example novel imaging methods for characterizing cellular processes.
