Abstract:
Stau1 is a pluripotent RNA-binding protein that is responsible for the post-transcriptional regulation of a multitude of transcripts. Here, we observed that lung cancer patients with a high Stau1 expression have a longer recurrence free survival. Strikingly, Stau1 did not impair cell proliferation in vitro, but rather cell migration and cell adhesion. In vivo, Stau1 depletion favored tumor progression and metastases development. In addition, Stau1 depletion strongly impaired vessel maturation. Among a panel of candidate genes, we specifically identified the mRNA encoding the cell adhesion molecule Thrombospondin 1 (THBS1) as a new target for Staufen-mediated mRNA decay. Altogether, our results suggest that regulation of THBS1 expression by Stau1 may be a key process involved in lung cancer progression.
