Abstract
AbstractAlthough X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) is associated with cancer cell behaviors, the structure-based function of XIAP in promotion human bladder cancer (BC) invasion is barely explored. Herein, we discovered that ectopic expression of the BIR domains of XIAP rescued the MMP2 activation and invasion in XIAP-deleted BC cells, while Src was further defined as a XIAP downstream negative regulator for MMP2 activation and BC invasion. The inhibition of Src expression by BIR domains was caused by attenuation of Src protein translation upon miR-203 upregulation resulting from direct interaction of BIR2 and BIR3 with E2F1 and Sp1, consequently leading to fully activation of E2F1/Sp1. Our findings provide a novel insight into understanding of specific function of BIR2 and BIR3 of XIAP in BC invasion, which will be highly significant for the design/synthesis of new BIR2/BIR3-based compounds for invasive BC treatment.
