Abstract
Abstract The epithelial-mesenchymal transition is an important process in the cancer progression, but its occurrence and the regulatory mechanism are not fully understood. Intestine specific homeobox acted both as a proto-oncogene and upstream regulator of EMT markers, by which modulates tumorigenic initiation and progression in lung cancer cells. ISX acetylated by PCAF recruits bromodomain-containing protein 4, to initiate chromatin remodeling, and up-regulated EMT downstream regulators in tumors cells. Ectopic expression of ISX was shown to enhance TWIST1, Snail1 expression by recruiting BRD4 to enhance Pol II dependent transcription, lead in to remodeling of the tumor microenvironment. In NSCLC carcinoma, increased ISX expression was noted correlating with distinct clinical metastatic features and poor prognosis. These results suggest that theISX-BRD4 axis mediates EMT signaling and exerts significant regulatory effects on tumor initiation and metastasis.
