| Research Abstract |
We previously demonstrated that 14-3-3beta protein promotes cell growth and tumorigenicity of rat K2 hepatocellular carcinoma cells. We identified FBI1/Akirin2 as a binding partner of 14-3-3beta and showed that the complex of these proteins promotes tumorigenicity and metastasis of K2 cells. Based on microarray expression analysis, BCAM and SPARC were identified as the downregulated target genes of the oncogenic 14-3-3beta-FBI1/Akirin2 complex. BCAM and SPARC are suppressive oncoprotein, and that FBI1/Akirin2 is involved in tumorigenicity and metastasis of hepatoma through the downregulation of suppressive oncogenes. Furthermore, we demonstrated that FBI1/Akirin2 performs an oncogenic function in LLC1 Lewis lung carcinoma cells. Although further investigation is required, these results suggest that FBI1/Akirin2 may perform an universal oncogenic function in various cancers.
