摘要
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is highly aggressive and metastatic, and has the poorest prognosis among all breast cancer subtypes. Activated β-catenin is enriched in TNBC and involved in Wnt signaling-independent metastasis. However, the underlying mechanisms of β-catenin activation in TNBC remain unknown. Here, we found that SHC4 was upregulated in TNBC and high SHC4 expression was significantly correlated with poor outcomes. Overexpression of SHC4 promoted TNBC aggressiveness in vitro and facilitated TNBC metastasis in vivo. Mechanistically, SHC4 interacted with Src and maintained its autophosphorylated activation, which activated β-catenin independent of Wnt signaling, and finally upregulated the transcription and expression of its downstream genes CD44 and MMP7. Furthermore, we determined that the PxPPxPxxxPxxP sequence on CH2 domain of SHC4 was critical for SHC4-Src binding and Src kinase activation. Overall, our results revealed the mechanism of β-catenin activation independent of Wnt signaling in TNBC, which was driven by SHC4-induced Src autophosphorylation, suggesting that SHC4 might be a potential prognostic marker and therapeutic target in TNBC.
