ABSTRACT
High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is the most lethal gynecologic malignancy mainly due to its extensive metastasis. Cancer-type organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B3 (Ct-OATP1B3), a newly discovered splice variant of solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 1B3 (SLCO1B3), has been reported to be overexpressed in several types of cancer. However, the biological function of Ct-OATP1B3 remains largely unknown. Here, we reveal that Ct-OATP1B3 is overexpressed in HGSOC and promotes the metastasis of HGSOC in vivo and in vitro. Mechanically, Ct-OATP1B3 directly interacts with insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein 2 (IGF2BP2), an RNA-binding protein, which results in enhancement of the mRNA stability and expression of carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1A (CPT1A) and NADHUbiquinone Oxidoreductase Subunit A2 (NDUFA2), leading to increased mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation (FAO) and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) activities. The increased FAO and OXPHOS activities further facilitate adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production and cellular lamellipodia formation, which is the initial step in the processes of tumor cell migration and invasion. Taken together, our study provides an insight into the function and underlying mechanism of Ct-OATP1B3 in HGSOC metastasis, and highlights Ct-OATP1B3 as a novel prognostic marker as well as therapeutic target in HGSOC.
