E-Cadherin Induces Serine Synthesis to Support Progression and Metastasis of Breast Cancer.
The loss of E-cadherin, an epithelial cell adhesion molecule, has been implicated in metastasis by mediating the epithelial-mesenchymal transition, which promotes invasion and migration of cancer cells. However, recent studies have demonstrated that E-cadherin supports the survival and proliferation of metastatic cancer cells. Here, we identified a metabolic role for E-cadherin in breast cancer by upregulating the de novo serine synthesis pathway (SSP). The upregulated SSP provided metabolic precursors for biosynthesis and resistance to oxidative stress, enabling E-cadherin+ breast cancer cells to achieve faster tumor growth and enhanced metastases. Inhibition of phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase, a rate-limiting enzyme in the SSP, significantly and specifically hampered proliferation of E-cadherin+ breast cancer cells and rendered them vulnerable to oxidative stress, inhibiting their metastatic potential. These findings reveal that E-cadherin reprograms cellular metabolism, promoting tumor growth and metastasis of breast cancers. Significance: E-Cadherin promotes the progression and metastasis of breast cancer by upregulating the de novo serine synthesis pathway, offering promising targets for inhibiting tumor growth and metastasis in E-cadherin-expressing tumors.
期刊介绍:
Cancer Research, published by the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), is a journal that focuses on impactful original studies, reviews, and opinion pieces relevant to the broad cancer research community. Manuscripts that present conceptual or technological advances leading to insights into cancer biology are particularly sought after. The journal also places emphasis on convergence science, which involves bridging multiple distinct areas of cancer research.
With primary subsections including Cancer Biology, Cancer Immunology, Cancer Metabolism and Molecular Mechanisms, Translational Cancer Biology, Cancer Landscapes, and Convergence Science, Cancer Research has a comprehensive scope. It is published twice a month and has one volume per year, with a print ISSN of 0008-5472 and an online ISSN of 1538-7445.
Cancer Research is abstracted and/or indexed in various databases and platforms, including BIOSIS Previews (R) Database, MEDLINE, Current Contents/Life Sciences, Current Contents/Clinical Medicine, Science Citation Index, Scopus, and Web of Science.
