ABSTRACT
Metastasis in cervical cancer (CC) has a significant negative impact on patient survival, highlighting the urgent need for investigation in this area. In this study, we identified significant overexpression of zinc finger, X-linked, duplicated family member C (ZXDC) in CC tissue with metastasis, which correlates with poor outcomes for CC patients. We observed that overexpression of ZXDC promotes, while silencing of ZXDC inhibits the metastasis of CC cells both in vitro and in vivo. Additionally, our research demonstrated that ZXDC activated RhoA/ROCK signaling pathway, leading to enhanced cytoskeleton remodeling in CC cells. Besides, we found that IGF2BP3 plays an essential role in the activation of ZXDC on the RhoA/ROCK signaling pathway by stabilizing RhoA mRNA. These findings reveal a mechanism whereby ZXDC promotes the cervical cancer metastasis by targeting IGF2BP3/RhoA/ROCK pathway.
