STMN1 Promotes Tumor Metastasis in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Through Microtubule-dependent And Nonmicrotubule-dependent Pathways.

ABSTRACT: The relationship between STMN1 and cancer metastasis is controversial. The purpose of this study was to explore the role and mechanism of STMN1 in NSCLC metastasis. In this study, we reported that STMN1 was highly expressed in NSCLC tissues and associated with poor prognosis. Both in vivo and in vitro functional assays confirmed that STMN1 promoted NSCLC metastasis. Further studies confirmed that STMN1 promoted cell migration by regulating microtubule stability. The results of Co-IP and LC‒MS/MS illustrated that STMN1 interacts with HMGA1. HMGA1 decreases microtubule stability by regulating the phosphorylation level of STMN1 at Ser16 and Ser38 after interacting with STMN1. This result suggested that STMN1 could be activated by HMGA1 to further promote NSCLC metastasis. Meanwh
