PRL-3 and E-cadherin show mutual interactions and participate in lymph node metastasis formation in gastric cancer

Abstract: E-cadherin, a transmembrane adhesion molecule, and phosphatase of regenerating liver 3 (PRL-3) protein, a member of the family of tyrosine phosphatases, seem to be responsible for cancer cell migration. Therefore, the study objective was to determine a correlation between PRL-3 and E-cadherin, to assess their expression in neoplastic tissue and normal mucosa of the stomach, to analyze their effect on cancer advancement, and to evaluate their potential as prognostic markers in gastric cancer. The expressions of… Show more

“…E-cadherin methylation rate was much lower than expected, while it was correlated with lymph node metastasis in RGC tumors, which recapitulates the previous reports [38]. Moreover, E-cadherin hypermethylation is observed in IN-IB in contrast to IN-IM or RN.…”

“…PRL‐3 expression had been found to be associated with metastasis in many types of tumors . In the present study, we found that patients with high‐level expression of PRL‐3 have a high risk of lung metastasis.…”

“…PRL‐3, also known as PTP4A3, belongs to the family of tyrosine phosphatases, which play a fundamental role in regulating protein phosphorylation balance . PRL‐3 expression has been evaluated in various human cancers, and it was found to be associated with invasion, metastasis, and poor prognosis . Wang et al.…”

“…In recent years, an increasing number of reports have implicated PRL-3 as an activator of pathways involved in proliferation, invasion, and cell motility, such as phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K)/serine threonine protein kinase AKT [12], the tyrosine protein kinase Src [13], Rho GTPases family [10], mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (MAPK/ERK) kinase (MEK) [14], and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling [15], as well as mediating epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) by down-regulating phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) [16] or the cadherin family [17,18]. Interestingly, PRL-3 can also recruit endothelial cells participating in tumor angiogenesis, an essential event for cancer progression [19].…”
