The GLI2/CDH6 axis enhances migration, invasion and mitochondrial fission of stomach adenocarcinoma cells

It has been reported that cadherin 6 (CDH6) upregulation is associated with enhanced epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in several types of solid tumor cells. The current study aimed to explore the effect of CDH6 on the migration and invasion of stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD) cells, the transcription factors involved in CDH6 dysregulation and their effect on mitochondrial fission. Bioinformatics analysis was performed using data extracted from the Genotype-Tissue Expression Project, the Cancer Genome Atlas and Kaplan-Meier plotter. AGS and HGC27 cells were used to establish an in vitro STAD cell model. The results showed that higher CDH6 expression was associated with significantly shorter overall survival in patients with STAD. In addition, CDH6 overexpression promoted wound healing, enhanced the invasion ability of tumor cells and increased mitochondrial fission. Glioma-associated oncogene family zinc finger 2 (GLI2) could bind to the CDH6 promoter and activate its transcription. Fluorescent labeling also showed that GLI2 overexpression promoted mitochondrial fission. However, CDH6 silencing significantly reduced mitochondrial fragmentation. Besides, GLI2 overexpression notably upregulated phosphorylated-focal adhesion kinase and dynamin-related protein 1. However, the above effects were largely abrogated by CDH6 knockdown. In conclusion, the present study suggested that the novel GLI2/CDH6 axis could enhance the migration, invasion and mitochondrial fission of STAD cells.
