Abstract
Endocytosis is essential for cancer cell motility, which is predominantly mediated by the sorting nexin (SNX) family. Previous studies have demonstrated that SNX5 is elevated in several tumors, while its clinical significance and underlying mechanism in gastric cancer (GC) remain uninvestigated. In this study, we reported that SNX5 is highly expressed in GC and promotes the malignant biological behavior of GC cells. Its upregulation is closely related to poor prognosis in GC patients. Mechanistically, we observed an interaction between SNX5 and low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein5 (LRP5) in GC cells. SNX5 inhibits LRP5 internalization and promotes its recycling to the cell membrane, which prevents LRP5 from being degraded in the lysosome. The increased membrane localization of LRP5 facilitates β-catenin stabilization, thus activating the Wnt signaling pathway, leading to tumorigenesis and progression.
期刊介绍:
Oncogene is dedicated to advancing our understanding of cancer processes through the publication of exceptional research. The journal seeks to disseminate work that challenges conventional theories and contributes to establishing new paradigms in the etio-pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of cancers. Emphasis is placed on research shedding light on processes driving metastatic spread and providing crucial insights into cancer biology beyond existing knowledge.
Areas covered include the cellular and molecular biology of cancer, resistance to cancer therapies, and the development of improved approaches to enhance survival. Oncogene spans the spectrum of cancer biology, from fundamental and theoretical work to translational, applied, and clinical research, including early and late Phase clinical trials, particularly those with biologic and translational endpoints.
