WDR5 regulates EMT and metastasis in breast cancer by activating TGFB pathway [ChIP-seq]
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The core subunit of the COMPASS-like complex, WD Repeat Domain 5 (WDR5) has a prominent role in reprogramming and Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal transition (EMT) in different tumor types. Our evidences support a model in which WDR5 is prominent for EMT and metastasis dissemination in breast cancer patient-derived xenografts and cell lines. Moreover, WDR5 silencing abrogates TGFB pathway activation and reverts mesenchymal into epithelial phenotype, by inhibiting transcription of main master regulators of EMT (CDH2, TWIST1, SNAI1, SNAI2 and ZEB1). Our data suggest that WDR5 inhibition may be a successful approach to prevent progression of metastatic BC.
