Abstract
Special AT-rich sequence-binding protein 2 (SATB2) is a transcription factor, which plays an important role in transcriptional regulation and chromatin recombinant by combining with matrix attachment regions. More evidence shows that SATB2 is involved in progression of breast cancer, head and neck squamous cell carcinomas and osteosarcoma. However, the role of SATB2 in cancer initiation and progression is still not well understood. Our study identified that decreased expression of SATB2 was correlated with tumor progression and poor prognosis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Furthermore, SATB2 suppressed lung cancer cell invasion and metastasis and regulated the expression of EMT-related proteins and histone methylation by G9a. In summary, SATB2 may act as a tumor suppressor gene in NSCLC.
