Phosphorylation of CAP1 regulates lung cancer proliferation, migration, and invasion.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Cyclase-associated protein 1 (CAP1) is a ubiquitous protein which regulates actin dynamics. Previous studies have shown that S308 and S310 are the two major phosphorylated sites in human CAP1. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the role of CAP1 phosphorylation in lung cancer.

Methods

Massive bioinformatics analysis was applied to determine CAP1's role in different cancers and especially in lung cancer. Lung cancer patients' serum and tissue were collected and analyzed in consideration of clinical background. CAP1 shRNA-lentivirus and siRNA were applied to CAP1 gene knockdown, and plasmids were constructed for CAP1 phosphorylation and de-phosphorylation. Microarray analysis was used for CAP1-associated difference analysis. Both in vitro and in vivo experime
