Abstract

In the present study, we found that lung cancer cell line (H460 cells) expressing Tet1 showed higher levels of adhesion, and Tet1 inhibited H460 cell proliferation. In addition, these cells showed a significantly reduced ability of collagen degradation and Smad2/3 phosphorylation compared to controls. Furthermore, vimentin was found to be highly expressed in larger metastatic cancer area. Tet1 overexpression was reduced in the epithelial marker E-cadherin. Moreover, Tet1 repressed cancer cell metastasis in nude mice. Collectively, these findings suggest that Tet1 expression plays a critical role in metastasis of lung cancer cells by suppression of invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT).
