ARTICLE ABSTRACT
Dissociation from epithelial sheets and invasion through the surrounding stroma are critical early events during epithelial cancer metastasis. Here we find that a lymphocyte lineage–restricted transcription factor, Spi-B, is frequently expressed in human lung cancer tissues. The Spi-B–expressing cancer cells coexpressed vimentin but repressed E-cadherin and exhibited invasive behavior. Increased Spi-B expression was associated with tumor grade, lymphatic metastasis, and short overall survival. Mechanistically, Spi-B disrupted intercellular junctions and enhanced invasiveness by reconfiguring the chromatin structure of the tight junction gene claudin-2 (CLDN2) and repressing its transcription. These data suggest that Spi-B participates in mesenchymal invasion, linking epithelial cancer metastasis with a lymphatic transcriptional program. Cancer Res; 77(18); 4809–22. ©2017 AACR.
