Epigenetic reprogramming is emerging as a key mechanism for metastasis development.Our study identifed a novel regulatory mechanism whereby promoter methylation-mediated epigenetic silencing of the gene encoding the ubiquitin ligase subunit F-box/LRR-repeat protein 7 (FBXL7) induces accumulation of active c-SRC, which, in turn, activates epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and supports cancer cell invasion and metastasis.

Abstract

Epigenetic reprogramming is emerging as a key mechanism for metastasis development.Our study identifed a novel regulatory mechanism whereby promoter methylation-mediated epigenetic silencing of the gene encoding the ubiquitin ligase subunit F-box/LRR-repeat protein 7 (FBXL7) induces accumulation of active c-SRC, which, in turn, activates epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and supports cancer cell invasion and metastasis.
