Annexin10 promotes extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma metastasis by facilitating EMT via PLA2G4A/PGE2/STAT3 pathway.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), consisting of intrahepatic (IHCCA), perihilar (PHCCA), and distal (DCCA) CCA, is a type of highly aggressive malignancy with a very dismal prognosis. Potential biomarkers and drug targets of CCA are urgently needed. As a new member of the Annexin (ANXA) family, the role of ANXA10 in the progression and prognosis of CCA is unknown. METHODS:Potential PHCCA biomarkers were screened by transcriptome sequencing of 5 pairs of PHCCA and adjacent tissues. The clinical significance of ANXA10 was evaluated by analyzing its correlation with clinicopathological variables, and the prognostic value of ANXA10 was evaluated with univariate and multivariate analyses. The function of ANXA10 in the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), proliferation, invasion and metastasis was detected with in vitro and in vivo experiments. Moreover, we screened the key molecule in ANXA10-induced CCA progression by mRNA sequencing and evaluated the correlation between PLA2G4A and ANXA10. The effect of PLA2G4A downstream signaling, including Cyclooxygenase 2, Prostaglandin E2(PGE2) and Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(STAT3), on EMT and metastasis was further detected with in vitro and in vivo experiments. FINDINGS:ANXA10 expression was upregulated in PHCCA and DCCA but not in IHCCA. High ANXA10 expression was significantly associated with poor tumor differentiation and prognosis. ANXA10 promoted the proliferation, migration and invasion of the PHCCA cells. PLA2G4A expression was regulated by ANXA10 and high PLA2G4A predicted poor prognosis in PHCCA and DCCA. ANXA10 facilitated EMT and promoted metastasis by upregulating PLA2G4A expression, thus increasing PGE2 levels and activating STAT3. INTERPRETATION:ANXA10 was an independent prognostic biomarker of PHCCA and DCCA but not IHCCA. ANXA10 promoted the progression of PHCCA and facilitated metastasis by promoting the EMT process via the PLA2G4A/PGE2/STAT3 pathway. ANXA10, PLA2G4A and their downstream molecules, such as COX2 and PGE2, may be promising drug targets of PHCCA and DCCA.

Project description:GATA6 acts as an oncogene or tumour suppressor in different cancers. Previously, we found that aberrant expression of GATA6 promoted metastasis in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). However, the mechanism by which GATA6 promotes metastasis in CCA is unclear. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the role of GATA6 in CCA cell epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Our results showed that GATA6 expression was positively associated with N-cadherin and vimentin expression but negatively associated with E-cadherin expression in 91 CCA samples. GATA6 promoted EMT and metastasis in CCA cells in vitro and in vivo based on knockdown and overexpression analyses. ChIP-sequencing data revealed that MUC1 is a novel downstream target of GATA6. GATA6 upregulated MUC1 expression through binding to both the 1584 and 1456 GATA-motifs in the promoter region and enhancing its transcription by luciferase reporter assays and point-mutant assays. MUC1 expression was positively associated with N-cadherin and vimentin expression but negatively associated with E-cadherin expression in 91 CCA samples. In addition, MUC1 promoted EMT in CCA cells based on knockdown and overexpression analyses. Moreover, MUC1 knockdown significantly abrogated the GATA6-induced EMT in CCA cells, indicating that MUC1 promoted EMT through upregulating MUC1 in CCA cells. β-Catenin is a putative transcriptional coactivator that regulates EMT in cancers. Our data showed that MUC1 expression was positively associated with nuclear β-catenin expression in 91 CCA samples. MUC1 upregulated nuclear β-catenin expression in CCA cells. Moreover, MUC1 bound to β-catenin in CCA cells based on protein immunoprecipitation analyses. MUC1 knockdown significantly decreased the binding of MUC1 to β-catenin, and thereby decreased nuclear β-catenin protein levels in CCA cells, indicating that MUC1 bound to β-catenin and increased its nuclear expression in CCA cells. Together, our results show that GATA6 promotes EMT through MUC1/β-catenin pathway in CCA, indicating potential implications for anti-metastatic therapy.
