SQSTM1/p62 regulates the expression of junctional proteins through epithelial-mesenchymal transition factors
The epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) is an essential process during development and during tumor progression. Here, we observed the accumulation of the selective autophagy receptor and signaling adaptor sequestosome-1 (SQSTM1/p62) during growth factor-induced EMT in immortalized and tumor-...

Zusammenfassung: | The epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) is an essential process during development and during tumor progression. Here, we observed the accumulation of the selective autophagy receptor and signaling adaptor sequestosome-1 (SQSTM1/p62) during growth factor-induced EMT in immortalized and tumor-derived epithelial cell lines. Modulation of the p62 level regulated the expression of junctional proteins. This effect was dependent on the ubiquitin-associated domain of p62, which stabilized the TGFβ/Smad signaling co-activator Smad4 and the EMT transcription factor Twist. This study highlights a novel function of p62 in a major epithelial phenotypic alteration. |
