SH2B1 promotes epithelial-mesenchymal transition through the IRS1/β-catenin signaling axis in lung adenocarcinoma.


ABSTRACT: Lung adenocarcinoma (LADC), the most prevalent type of human lung cancer, is characterized by many molecular abnormalities. SH2B1, a member of the SH2-domain containing family, have recently been shown to act as tumor activators in multiple cancers, including LADC. However, the mechanisms underlying SH2B1 overexpression are not completely understood. Here, we reported that SH2B1 expression levels were significantly upregulated and positively associated with EMT markers and poor patient survival in LADC specimens. Modulation of SH2B1 levels had distinct effects on cell proliferation, cell cycle, migration, invasion, and morphology in A549 and H1299 cells in vitro and in vivo. At the molecular level, overexpression of SH2B1 resulted in the upregulation of the EMT markers, especially induced β-catenin accumulation and activated β-catenin signaling to promote LADC cell proliferation and metastasis, while silencing SH2B1 had the opposite effect. Furthermore, ectopic expression of SH2B1 in H1299 cells increased IRS1 expression level. Reduced expression of IRS1 considerably inhibited H1299 cell proliferation, migration, and invasion which were driven by SH2B1 overexpression. Collectively, these results provide unequivocal evidence to establish that SH2B1-IRS1-β-catenin axis is required for promoting EMT, and might prove to be a promising strategy for restraining tumor progression in LADC patients.
