The p21-activated kinase 4 (PAK4) is sufficient to transform noncancerous mammary
epithelial cells and to form tumors in the mammary glands of mice. The
accumulated information suggests that PAK4 might be an oncogenic protein in
breast cancer. In this study, we sought to identify the role for PAK4 in breast
cancer progression. Immunohistochemical study revealed that high PAK4 expression
is associated with larger tumor size, lymph node metastasis, and advanced stage
cancer in 93 invasive breast carcinoma patients. Moreover, high PAK4 expression
was significantly associated with poor overall and disease-free survival. PAK4
remained an independent adverse prognosticator after univariate and multivariate
analysis. Ectopic expression of wild-type PAK4 in MDA-MB-231 cells activated
PI3K/AKT signaling and resulted in the enhancement of the cell proliferation,
migration, and invasion, whereas PAK4-induced effects were blocked by the PAK4
kinase inhibitor PF- 3758309, PAK4 siRNAs or the PI3K inhibitor LY294002.
Furthermore, a kinase-active PAK4 (S474E) strongly induced PI3K/AKT activation,
and promoted proliferation, migration and invasion in breast cancer cells. A
kinase-inactive PAK4 KD (K350A/K351A) did partially upregulate PI3K/AKT, and
promoted invasive phenotype. Taken together, these findings suggest that
PAK4-activated PI3K/AKT signaling is both kinase-dependent and -independent,
which contributes to breast cancer progression. Thus, our results imply that dual
inhibition of PAK4 and PI3K/AKT signaling might be a potential therapeutic
approach for breast cancer therapy.
