GATA1, a member of the GATA transcription factor family, was reported to play a role in development and progression of erythroid cells and breast cancer cells. However, the role of GATA1 in colorectal cancer (CRC) is unknown. Here, we demonstrate that GATA1 was upregulated in CRC tissues compared with normal tissues, and predicted poor clinical outcome in CRC. Biological functional analyses showed that GATA1 knockdown decreased CRC cells proliferation, migration and invasion, and regulated the process of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Moreover, silencing of GATA1 suppressed colorectal tumor growth in nude mice. Mechanistically, GATA1 overexpression significantly increased the activity of PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in CRC cells. These data provide insight into the important role of GATA1 in CRC progression and suggest that GATA1 is a potential therapeutic target for CRC.

D015398 Signal Transduction The intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. In each signal transduction system, an activation/inhibition signal from a biologically active molecule (hormone, neurotransmitter) is mediated via the coupling of a receptor/enzyme to a second messenger system or to an ion channel. Signal transduction plays an important role in activating cellular functions, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Examples of signal transduction systems are the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-postsynaptic receptor-calcium ion channel system, the receptor-mediated T-cell activation pathway, and the receptor-mediated activation of phospholipases. Those coupled to membrane depolarization or intracellular release of calcium include the receptor-mediated activation of cytotoxic functions in granulocytes and the synaptic potentiation of protein kinase activation. Some signal transduction pathways may be part of larger signal transduction pathways; for example, protein kinase activation is part of the platelet activation signal pathway.
