Special AT-rich sequence binding protein2 (SATB2) is an evolutionarily conserved transcription factor that has multiple roles in neuronal development, osteoblast differentiation, and craniofacial patterning. SATB2 binds to the nuclear matrix attachment region, and regulates the expression of diverse sets of genes by altering chromatin structure. Recent studies have reported that high expression of SATB2 is associated with favorable prognosis in colorectal and laryngeal cancer; however, it remains uncertain whether SATB2 has tumor-suppressive functions in cancer cells. In this study, we examined the effects of SATB2 expression on the malignant characteristics of colorectal cancer cells. Expression of SATB2 repressed the proliferation of cancer cells invitro and invivo, and also suppressed their migration and invasion. Extracellular signal-regulated kinase5 (ERK5) is a mitogen-activated protein kinase that is associated with an aggressive phenotype in various types of cancer. SATB2 expression reduced the activity of ERK5, and constitutive activation of ERK5 restored the proliferation, anchorage-independent growth, migration and invasion of SATB2-expressing cells. Our results demonstrate the existence of a novel regulatory mechanism of SATB2-mediated tumor suppression via ERK5 inactivation.
