Metastasis is associated with poor prognosis in cancer and is a multistep process that includes invasion and migration. Several epigenetic factors are involved in this process, including chromobox protein homolog 8 (). Here, we show that is overexpressed in many cancers compared with normal tissues. Functional analyses indicated that promoted invasion and migration in glioblastoma, breast cancer, and lung cancer and . was identified as a target gene of , which interacted with the promoter to suppress expression and activity. acted as an antioncogene, and decreased levels resulted in high activity of matrix metalloprotease (MMP)-2 and , which play a central role in invasion and migration, respectively. There was a positive relationship between and activity in -modulated cell lines. In addition, negatively regulated and activity. Collectively, the results indicated that promoted invasion and migration by targeting , which resulted in increased and expression and activity. Therefore, may be a novel therapeutic target to treat metastatic cancers.
转移与癌症的不良预后相关,是一个包括侵袭和迁移的多步骤过程。几种表观遗传因素参与了这一过程,包括染色体盒蛋白同源物8()。在这里,我们表明,与正常组织相比,在许多癌症中过表达。功能分析表明,在胶质母细胞瘤、乳腺癌和肺癌中促进了侵袭和迁移。被确定为的靶基因,它与启动子相互作用以抑制表达和活性。作为一种抑癌基因,水平降低导致基质金属蛋白酶(MMP)-2和的高活性,它们分别在侵袭和迁移中起核心作用。在调节的细胞系中,与活性之间存在正相关关系。此外,负调节和活性。总体而言,结果表明通过靶向促进侵袭和迁移,这导致和表达及活性增加。因此,可能是治疗转移性癌症的一个新的治疗靶点。
