RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The process of transdifferentiating epithelial cells to mesenchymal-like cells (EMT) involves cells gradually taking on an invasive and migratory phenotype. Many cell adhesion molecules are crucial for the management of EMT, integrin ß4 (ITGB4) being one among them. Although signaling downstream of ITGB4 has been reported to cause changes in the expression of several miRNAs, little is known about the role of such miRNAs in the process of EMT. METHODS AND RESULTS: The cytoplasmic domain of ITGB4 (ITGB4CD) was ectopically expressed in HeLa cells to induce ITGB4 signaling, and expression analysis of mesenchymal markers indicated the induction of EMT. ß-catenin and AKT signaling pathways were found to be activated downstream of ITGB4 signaling, as evidenced by the TOPFlash assay and the levels of phosphorylated AKT, respectively. Based on in silico and qRT-PCR analysis, miR-383 was selected for functional validation studies. miR-383 and Sponge were ectopically expressed in HeLa, thereafter, western blot and qRT-PCR analysis revealed that miR-383 regulates GATA binding protein 6 (GATA6) post-transcriptionally. The ectopic expression of shRNA targeting GATA6 caused the reversal of EMT and ß catenin activation downstream of ITGB4 signaling. Cell migration assays revealed significantly high cell migration upon ectopic expression ITGB4CD, which was reversed upon ectopic co-expression of miR-383 or GATA6 shRNA. Besides, ITGB4CD promoted EMT in in ovo xenograft model, which was reversed by ectopic expression of miR-383 or GATA6 shRNA. CONCLUSION: The induction of EMT downstream of ITGB4 involves a signaling axis encompassing AKT/miR-383/GATA6/ß-catenin.
