Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third leading cancer type worldwide and accounts for the second highest rate of cancer-related mortality. Liver metastasis significantly contributes to the mortality associated with CRC, but the fundamental mechanisms behind it remain unclear. Signal-induced proliferation-associated protein 1 (SIPA1), a GTPase activating protein, has been shown to promote metastasis in breast cancer. In this study, our objective was to explore the role of SIPA1 in regulating epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in CRC. The analysis of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database revealed that the expression level of SIPA1 mRNA was notably upregulated and exhibited a positively correlated with EMT and STAT3 signaling pathways in CRC. Knockdown of SIPA1 impairs CRC cell proliferation and migration. Further studies on the reliance of SIPA1 on STAT3 signaling for EMT regulation have shown that SIPA1 stimulates the activation of STAT3, resulting in its nuclear translocation. The co-treatment of overexpressed SIPA1 with the STAT3 inhibitor STTITA has shown that SIPA1 regulates the expression of EMT-related markers through STAT3. Our study indicate that SIPA1 promotes CRC metastasis by activating the STAT3 signaling pathway, underscoring the potential of SIPA1 as a therapeutic target for metastatic CRC patients. |
