LASP1 is an actin-binding protein associated with actin assembly dynamics in cancer cells. Here we report that LASP1 is overexpressed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) where it promotes invasion and metastasis. We found that LASP1 overexpression in PDAC cells was mediated by HIF-1α through direct binding to a hypoxia response element in the LASP1 promoter. HIF-1α stimulated LASP1 expression in PDAC cells in vitro and mouse tumor xenografts in vivo. Clinically, LASP1 overexpression in PDAC patient specimens was associated significantly with lymph node metastasis and overall survival. Overall, our results defined LASP1 as a direct target gene for HIF-1α upregulation that is critical for metastatic progression of PDAC.
