KAT7 promotes radioresistance through upregulating PI3K/AKT signaling in breast cancer.
Journal of Radiation Research 2023 Februrary 2
Chromatin-modifying enzymes are commonly altered in cancers, but the molecular mechanism by which they regulate cancers remains poorly understood. Herein, we demonstrated that Lysine acetyltransferase 7 (KAT7) was upregulated in breast cancer. KAT7 expression negatively correlated with the survival of breast cancer patients, and KAT7 silencing suppressed breast cancer radioresistance in vitro. Mechanistically, KAT7 activated Phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit alpha (PIK3CA) transcription, leading to enhanced PI3K/AKT signaling and radioresistance. Overexpression of AKT or PIK3CA restored radioresistance suppression induced by KAT7 inhibition. Moreover, overexpression of KAT7, but not KAT7 acetyltransferase activity-deficient mutants promoted AKT phosphorylation at the Ser473 site, PIK3CA expression and radioresistance suppression due to KAT7 inhibition. In conclusion, KAT7 has huge prospects for clinical application as a new target for predicting radioresistance in breast cancer patients.
