For the first time, the current study reveals that TRERNA1 promotes cell metastasis and the invasion of HCC via the recruitment of EHMT2 and/or the EHMT2/SNAI1 complex to suppress CDH1.
Our previous data indicated that Euchromatic histone-lysine N-methyltransferase 2 (EHMT2) functions as a therapeutic target to override GEM resistance and promote metastasis in the treatment of pancreatic cancer.
SP1 directly binds the G9A promoter and enhances G9A expression, and upregulated G9A then forms a transcriptional activator complex with P300 and GR, thereby promoting ITGB3 expression induced by dexamethasone (DEX) and contributing to GC metastasis.
Therefore, our findings demonstrate functions of EHMT2 in breast cancer metastasis and suggest that targeting EHMT2 may be an effective therapeutic strategy for preventing breast cancer metastasis.
