Gall bladder carcinoma (GBC) is the seventh most common cancer across the globe and the most common malignancy of the biliary tract. Most GBC related deaths occur due to secondary progression and metastasis to distant organs. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is an important pre-requisite for tumor metastasis, however its mechanism in GBC has not yet been defined. Using the GBC-SD cell line, we have uncovered an important mediator, poly r(C) binding protein-1 (PCBP1), of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta)-induced EMT in GBC. Our results show that TGF-beta treatment resulted in PCBP1 phosphorylation in accordance with similar observation in other model systems. We further showed through gain- and loss-of-function assays that PCBP1 expression levels regulate the capacity of GBC-SD cells to migrate and invade in vitro. Finally, our results showed that PCBP1 expression levels also regulate generation of CD44(+)CD24(-) progenitor cell population in GBC-SD cells after TGF-beta treatment. Cumulatively, our results indicate, pending further validation, that PCBP1 might be a prognostic marker for GBC metastasis.
