Abstract
Background: Fascin is a pro-metastasis actin bundling protein overexpressed in basal-like breast cancer. Results: GATA3 abrogates TGFβ and Smad4-mediated fascin overexpression by abolishing the binding of Smad4 to fascin promoter. Conclusion: GATA3 is a novel suppressor of the canonical TGFβ-Smad signaling pathway. Significance: These findings provide mechanistic insight into how TGFβ-mediated invasion and metastasis are differentially regulated in different subgroups of breast cancer.
