Cutaneous melanoma is a life-threatening skin cancer because of its poorly understood invasive nature and high metastatic potential. This study examines the importance of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A2 (EIF5A2) in melanoma pathogenesis. We examined EIF5A2 expression in 459 melanocytic lesions using tissue microarray. In addition, melanoma cell lines were subjected to invasion and cell proliferation assays, zymography, FACS and real-time PCR to investigate the role of EIF5A2 in cancer progression. Positive EIF5A2 staining increased from dysplastic naevi to primary melanomas (PMs; P=0.001), and further increased in metastatic melanomas (P=0.044). Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A2 expression was correlated with melanoma thickness (P<0.001) and was inversely correlated with the 5-year survival of PM patients especially those with tumour⩽2 mm thick. Strikingly, none of the latter died within 5 years in EIF5A2-negative staining group. Cox regression analysis revealed that EIF5A2 is an independent prognostic marker. Further, we found that EIF5A2 is a novel downstream target of phosphorylated Akt. Both melanoma cell invasion and MMP-2 activity increased and decreased with EIF5A2 overexpression and knockdown, respectively. We for the first time showed that EIF5A2, as a target of PI3K/Akt, promotes melanoma cell invasion and may serve as a promising prognostic marker and a potential therapeutic target for melanoma.
