ARID1A-deficient cells require HDAC6 for progression of endometrial carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: AT-rich interactive domain-containing protein 1A (ARID1A) loss-of-function mutation accompanied by a loss of ARID1A protein expression is frequently observed in endometrial carcinomas. However, the molecular mechanisms linking these genetic changes to the altered pathways regulating tumour initiation, maintenance and/or progression remain poorly understood. Thus, the main aim of this study was to analyse the role of ARID1A loss of function in endometrial tumorigenesis. Here, using different endometrial in vitro and in vivo models, such as tumoral cell lines, 3D primary cultures and metastatic or genetically modified mouse models, we show that altered expression of ARID1A is not enough to initiate endometrial tumorigenesis. However, in an established endometrial cancer context, ARID1A loss
