MYH9 is a novel cancer stem cell marker and prognostic indicator in esophageal cancer that promotes oncogenesis through the PI3K/AKT/mTOR axis

Abstract: MYH9 encodes the heavy chain of nonmuscle myosin IIA, a ubiquitously expressed cytoplasmic myosin that regulates the actin cytoskeleton, cell migration, cell polarization, and signal transduction in cancer cells. Here, we investigated the role of MYH9 in cancer stem cells (CSCs) associated with esophageal cancer (EC). The subcellular localization of MYH9 was investigated in SKGT-4 cells through immunofluorescent analysis. MYH9+ and MYH9− spheroid cells were derived from SKGT-4 cells by flow cytometry and compa… Show more

“…Existing studies have proved that activation of mapk12a participates in the heterodimerization of myod and E proteins, leading to myod activation and myogenic cell differentiation [ 37 ]. myh9 encodes the heavy chain of nonmuscle myosin IIA, a ubiquitously expressed cytoplasmic myosin that regulates the actin cytoskeleton, cell migration, and PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling in cells [ 38 ]. Some studies suggest that myl9 and mylk may play important roles in skeletal muscle growth and strength [ 39 ].…”

“…For nodular fasciitis the typical fusion partner tends to be MYH9 , which is a gene encoding a non-muscle myosin IIA, an acting binding molecular motor helping to power the contraction of actin-myosin filaments 26. Although MYH9 expression has been found in many tumours it’s exact role in neoplastic processes remains unclear 26 27. Other described fusion partners of USP6 are TPM4 , EIF5A , PPP6R3 , CTNNB1 , SPARC , THBS2 , COL6A2 , TNC , SEC31A , COL1A1 , COL1A2, COL3A1 , CALU , NACA , SLFN1 , LDHA , SERPINH1, PDLIM7, MYL12A, PAFAH1B1 and MIR22HG as previously mentioned 9 12–25.…”

“…MYH9 gene, encodes the heavy chain of nonmuscle myosin IIA, regulates cell migration, actin cytoskeleton, cell polarization and signal transduction in cancer cells. There are several studies represented the correlation of MYH9 expression with oncogenesis and chemotherapeutic resistance [42].…”

“…Kai and colleagues reported MYH9 as a novel cancer stem cells biomarker, drug target and prognostic indicator in esophageal cancer (EC) which triggered tumorigenesis through regulating PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling [42]. Another study represented the upregulation of MYH9 in metastatic gastric cancer (GC) tissue which associated with a poor prognosis of GC patients.…”
