Gene trapping identifies chloride channel 4 as a novel inducer of colon cancer cell migration, invasion and metastases

Abstract: BACKGROUND: To date, there are few reports on gene products contributing to colon cancer progression. METHODS: We used a gene trap comprised of an enhanced retroviral mutagen (ERM) cassette that includes a tetracycline-responsive promoter upstream of a haemagglutinin (HA) tag and a splice donor site. Integration of the ERM within an endogenous gene yields a tetracycline-regulated HA-tagged transcript. We transduced RKO colon cancer cells expressing a tetracycline trans-activator-off with the ERM-encoding retr… Show more

“…CLCN4 has been implicated in the development of colon cancer, and higher CLCN4 expression has been observed in Sirt3-deficient mice (Fig. 3f ) 25 . Consistently, the Sirt3 target protein, FOXO3a, was downregulated in Sirt3-deficient mice (Fig.…”

“…CLCN4 has been shown to enhance colon cancer migration and metastasis. CLCN4 has been proposed as a risk factor for colon cancer, but its role in the early stages of colon cancer is unknown 25 . In summary, CLCN4 is critical for Sirt3-microbiome coordination with a tumor-suppressing effect, but further study is needed.…”

“…Although acidification is mediated by a V-type proton ATPase, it has been known that a parallel anion pathway conducted by chloride channels is also important to allow bulk proton transport (46). Thus, we examined the expression pattern of several chloride channels implicated in cancer metastasis (47)(48)(49). We found that Clca1, Clca5, and Clc-4 were highly expressed in B16-F10 cells compared to B16 cells ( Supplementary Fig.…”

“…The functions of Ca2+-activated chloride channel include governing cellular ion fluxes and regulating cell volume ( 23 ). There is substantial evidence that cell migration is facilitated by the function of chlo-ride channels ( 3 , 6 , 24 ). The process of cell migration comprises cell swelling at the leading edge and subsequent cell shrinkage at the rear part of the cell ( 25 ).…”
