Popis: The glycolytic enzyme enolase 2 (ENO2) is dysregulated in many types of cancer. However, the roles and detailed molecular mechanism of ENO2 in colorectal cancer (CRC) metastasis remain unclear. Here, we performed a comprehensive analysis of ENO2 expression in 184 local CRC samples and samples from the TCGA and GEO databases and found that ENO2 upregulation in CRC samples was negatively associated with prognosis. By knocking down and overexpressing ENO2, we found that ENO2 promoted CRC cell migration and invasion, which is dependent on its interaction with the long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) CYTOR, but did not depend on glycolysis regulation. Furthermore, CYTOR mediated ENO2 binding to large tumor suppressor 1 (LATS1) and competitively inhibited the phosphorylation of Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1), which ultimately triggered epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT). Collectively, these findings highlight the molecular mechanism of the ENO2–CYTOR interaction, and ENO2 could be considered a potential therapeutic target for CRC.
