GADD45G Interacts with E-cadherin to Suppress the Migration and Invasion of Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Digestive Diseases and Sciences(2020)
摘要
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the most prevalent cancers with poor prognosis. Metastasis is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths. The growth arrest and DNA damage-inducible 45 gamma (GADD45G) has been reported to correlate with survival, invasion, and metastasis of ESCC. This study was aimed to investigate the role and mechanism of GADD45G in ESCC cell migration and invasion. Both the effects of GADD45G and its need for E-cadherin to function on ESCC cell migration and invasion were determined through loss- and gain-of-function approaches via Transwell assays. The interaction between GADD45G and E-cadherin was detected by GST-pull down and IP assays. The expression of E-cadherin upon GADD45G overexpression was evaluated by RT-qPCR and western blot. The level of E-cadherin in cytoplasmic, nuclear, and membrane fractions was examined by western blot following subcellular fractionation. Knockdown of GADD45G increased the migration and invasion abilities of KYSE150 cells, while overexpression of GADD45G showed the opposite effects on YES2 and KYSE30 cells. GADD45G could interact with E-cadherin and enhanced its membrane level. Knockdown of E-cadherin abolished the inhibitory effects of GADD45G on ESCC cell migration and invasion. Intriguingly, dimer-dissociating mutant of GADD45G could not interact with E-cadherin and almost lost its ability to suppress the ESCC cell migration and invasion. This study reveals a novel role for GADD45G in inhibiting the ESCC cell migration and invasion, which will provide a new insight in understanding the ESCC metastatic mechanism.
