タイトル Cofilin promotes vasculogenic mimicry by regulating the actin cytoskeleton in human breast cancer cells.
ジャーナル FEBS Lett
Abstract Vasculogenic mimicry (VM) is the formation of microvascular channels by cancer cells. VM requires cellular processes that are regulated by changes in cellular migration and morphology. Cofilin (CFL), a key regulator of actin depolymerization, has been reported to affect malignant phenotypes of cancer. We show that treatment with inhibitors of actin dynamics suppresses VM in MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells. We established CFL-knockout (KO) MDA-MB-231 cells and found that VM was attenuated in CFL-KO cells. Although the re-expression of wild-type CFL restored VM in CFL-KO cells, inactive phosphomimetic CFL failed to do so. Collectively, our results demonstrate that CFL is a critical regulator of VM and implicate CFL as a novel therapeutic target for breast cancer.
