Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is a highly conserved pathway that selectively degrades aberrant RNA transcripts. In this study, we proved that NMD regulates the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of lung adenocarcinoma (ADC). Moreover, we found that NMD core factor UP-frameshift 1 tends to be expressed at lower levels in human ADC tissues than in normal lung tissues, thereby raising the possibility that NMD may be downregulated to permit ADC oncogenesis. Our experiments in human ADC cell lines showed that downregulating NMD can promote EMT. Moreover, EMT can be inhibited by upregulating NMD. We tested the role of TGF-ss signaling and found that NMD influences EMT by targeting the TGF-ss signaling pathway. Our findings reveal that NMD is a potential tumor regulatory mechanism and may be a potential therapeutic target for ADC. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
