KIF15 promotes human glioblastoma progression under the synergistic transactivation of REST and P300.

ABSTRACT: Glioblastoma (GBM) is highly invasive and lethal. The failure to cure GBM highlights the necessity of developing more effective targeted therapeutic strategies. KIF15 is a motor protein to be involved in cell mitosis promotion, cell structure assembly and cell signal transduction. The precise biological function and the potential upstream regulatory mechanisms of KIF15 in GBM remain elusive. Here, we demonstrated that KIF15 was abnormally up-regulated in GBM and predicted poor prognosis of GBM patients. KIF15 promotes GBM cell proliferation, metastasis and cell cycle progression. REST could bind to KIF15 promoter and transactivate KIF15. Furthermore, REST interacts with P300 and depends on its histone acetyltransferase (HAT) activity to co-regulate KIF15 expression. Both REST and P300 were
