The transcriptional coactivator with PDZ binding motif (TAZ) has been reported to
be one of the nuclear effectors of Hippo-related pathways. TAZ is expressed in
many primary tumors and could regulate many biological processes. However, little
is known about the role of TAZ in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In the current
study, we show that TAZ regulates cellular proliferation and
epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of HCC. TAZ is overexpressed in HCC
tissues and cell lines and upregulation of TAZ correlates with a lower overall
survival rate of HCC patients after hepatic resection. TAZ knockdown results in
inhibition of cancer cell proliferation through decreases in expression of stem
cell markers (OCT4, Nanog, and SOX2). Reduction in HCC cell migration and
invasion is also evident through reversal of EMT by increases E-cadherin
expression, decreases in N-cadherin, vimentin, Snail, and Slug expression, and
suppression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 expression. In a xenograft tumorigenicity model,
TAZ knockdown could effectively inhibit tumor growth and metastasis through
reversal of the EMT pathway. In conclusion, TAZ is associated with the
proliferation and invasiveness of HCC cells, and the TAZ gene may contribute to a
novel therapeutic approach against HCC.
