Popis: The function of small G protein signalling modulators (SGSM1/2/3) in cancer remains unknown. Our findings demonstrated that SGSM2 is a plasma membrane protein that strongly interacted with E-cadherin/β-catenin. SGSM2 downregulation enhanced the phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK; Y576/577), decreased the expression of epithelial markers such as E-cadherin, β-catenin, and Paxillin, and increased the expression of Snail and Twist-1, which reduced cell adhesion and promoted cancer cell migration. Oestrogen and fibronectin treatment was found to promote the colocalization of SGSM2 at the leading edge with phospho-FAK (Y397). The BioGRID database showed that SGSM2 potentially interacts with cytoskeleton remodelling and cell-cell junction proteins. These evidences suggest that SGSM2 plays a role in modulating cell adhesion and cytoskeleton dynamics during cancer migration.
