摘要:: Regulator of G-protein signaling (RGS) family members are regulatory molecules which act as GTPase activating proteins (GAPs) for G alpha subunits of heterotrimeric G proteins. Emerging data indicated that RGS members were involved with tumorigenesis and metastasis. In the current study, we identified RGS4 as a novel tumor suppressor with prognostic significance in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). To be specific, we found that RGS4 expression was higher in normal lung tissues than NSCLC specimens (P = 0.003). Further studies demonstrated that RGS4 was generally down-regulated in NSCLC specimens compared with the matched normal lung tissues, both at mRNA and protein levels. In addition, correlational analysis indicated that RGS4 expression levels negatively correlated with lymph node metastasis (P = 0.009) and TNM stage (P = 0.008). Survival analysis demonstrated that patients with lower RGS4 protein expression exhibited a much worse 5-year overall survival and 5-year disease-free survival than those with high expression. More importantly, we proved that over-expression of RGS4 in NSCLC cells decreased invasion and migration due to inhibition of MMP2/9 and reversal of EMT while down-regulation of RGS4 in normal lung cell lines promoted invasion and migration. At last, nude mice metastatic model proved that over-expression of RGS4 suppressed tumor metastasis in vivo. All of these results confirmed the critical role of RGS4 in NSCLC progression.
