BACKGROUND: Gallbladder cancer (GBC), a highly malignant gastrointestinal tumor, lacks effective therapies. Foxhead box A2 (FOXA2) is a tumor suppressor that is poorly expressed in various human malignancies. This study aimed to ascertain FOXA2 expression in GBC and its relevance to tumor metastasis, and to elucidate its regulatory mechanism with epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) as an entry point, in the hope of providing a potential therapeutic target for GBC.
METHODS: FOXA2 expression in GBC tissues was first detected using immunohistochemistry (IHC), followed by correlation analysis with clinicopathological characteristics and survival prognosis. Subsequently, the effects of FOXA2 on GBC cell migration and invasion, as well as EMT induction, were evaluated by scratch, Transwell, RT-PCR, and Western blot assays, together with animal experimentation. Ultimately, mRNA sequencing was carried out to identify the key downstream target genes of FOXA2 in controlling the EMT process in GBC cells, and dual-luciferase reporter and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays were used to determine its regulatory mechanism.
RESULTS: FOXA2 was underexpressed in GBC tissues and inversely correlated with tumor node metastasis stage, lymph node metastasis, and poor patient prognosis. FOXA2 exerts suppressive effects on EMT and metastasis of GBC in vivo and in vitro. FOXA2 can impede GBC cell migratory and invasive functions and EMT by positively mediating serine protein kinase inhibitor B5 (SERPINB5) expression.
CONCLUSION: FOXA2 directly binds to the SERPINB5 promoter region to stimulate its transcription, thereby modulating the migration and invasion behaviors of GBC cells as well as the EMT process, which might be an effective therapeutic target against GBC.
