However, the functions and underlying mechanisms of BBOX1-AS1 in the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process of gastric cardia adenocarcinoma (GCA) have remained unclarified. The findings of this study demonstrated that GCA tissues had elevated BBOX1-AS1 expression levels, which was associated with a worse prognosis in GCA patients. BBOX1-AS1 dramatically enhanced cell proliferation, invasion, and TGF-β1-induced the EMT process in vitro. Further mechanism analysis revealed that BBOX1-AS1 could combine with CtBP2 and strengthen the interaction of CtBP2 and ZEB1. BBOX1-AS1 might regulate the E-cadherin expression through CtBP2/ZEB1 transcriptional complex-mediated transcriptional repression, further affecting the activation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway and the EMT process. Overall, our findings demonstrate that BBOX1-AS1 might act as an lncRNA associated with EMT for facilitating GCA advancement via interaction with CtBP2 to facilitate the activation of Wnt/β-catenin pathway and the EMT process, which indicated that it might function as an exploitable treatment target for GCA patients.</p>","PeriodicalId":48943,"journal":{"name":"Cancer Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142330531","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we used carbon tetrachloride to construct a classic mouse liver injury model and injected CT26 colorectal cancer cells into the mouse spleen to simulate the natural route of colorectal cancer liver metastasis. Liver injury significantly increased the number of colorectal cancer liver metastases. Transcriptome sequencing and data-independent acquisition protein quantification identified proteins that were significantly differentially expressed in injured livers, and orosomucoid (ORM) 2 was identified as a target protein for tumor liver metastasis. In vitro experiments showed that exogenous ORM2 protein increased the expression of EMT markers such as Twist, Zeb1, Vim, Snail1 and Snail2 and chemokine ligands to promote CT26 cell migration. In addition, liver-specific overexpression of the ORM2 protein in the mouse model significantly promoted tumor cell liver metastasis without inducing liver injury. Our results indicate that drug-induced liver injury can promote colorectal cancer liver metastasis and that ORM2 can promote cell migration by inducing EMT in tumor cells.</p>","PeriodicalId":48943,"journal":{"name":"Cancer Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2024-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140111933","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
