PG - 802 LID - 10.1038/s41419-018-0817-1 [doi] LID - 802 AB - Pseudopodium-enriched atypical kinase 1 (PEAK1), a novel non-receptor tyrosine kinase, has been demonstrated to act as an oncogenic regulator in breast and pancreatic cancers. However, the role of PEAK1 in the progression and metastasis of lung cancer is still unknown. Here, we observed that ectopic PEAK1 expression promoted lung cancer cell migration and invasion, while PEAK1 knockout resulted in suppressed cell migration and invasion. Interestingly, cell proliferation did not significantly increase or decrease in either the PEAK1 overexpression or knockout groups compared with the corresponding control cells. In addition, PEAK1 overexpression could induce epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP2) and MMP9 both in vitro and in vivo, whereas PEAK1 knockout had the opposite effects. Then, we had confirmed that PEAK1 was significantly upregulated in lung cancer tissues, and correlated with a higher tumor node metastasis stage. Moreover, PEAK1 upregulation markedly enhanced the activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase-1/2 (ERK1/2) and Janus kinase-2 (JAK2) signaling in lung cancer cells. Further work demonstrated that the combination of PD98059 with AZD1480 could reverse the effects of PEAK1-induced EMT, cell migration and invasion. Our findings highlight a newer mechanism for PEAK1 in regulating EMT and metastasis in lung cancer, which might serve as a therapeutic target for lung cancer patients.
