The transforming growth factor‐β (TGF‐β) pathway plays a pivotal role in inducing epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT), which is a key step in cancer invasion and metastasis. However, the regulatory mechanism of TGF‐β in inducing EMT in colorectal cancer (CRC) has not been fully elucidated. In previous studies, it was found that S100A8 may regulate EMT. This study aimed to clarify the role of S100A8 in TGF‐β‐induced EMT and explore the underlying mechanism in CRC. S100A8 and upstream transcription factor 2 (USF2) expression was detected by immunohistochemistry in 412 CRC tissues. Kaplan‐Meier survival analysis was performed. In vitro, Western blot, and migration and invasion assays were performed to investigate the effects of S100A8 and USF2 on TGF‐β‐induced EMT. Mouse metastasis models were used to determine in vivo metastasis ability. Luciferase reporter and chromatin immunoprecipitation assay were used to explore the role of USF2 on S100A8 transcription. During TGF‐β‐induced EMT in CRC cells, S100A8 and the transcription factor USF2 were upregulated. S100A8 promoted cell migration and invasion and EMT. USF2 transcriptionally regulated S100A8 expression by directly binding to its promoter region. Furthermore, TGF‐β enhanced the USF2/S100A8 signaling axis of CRC cells whereas extracellular S100A8 inhibited the USF2/S100A8 axis of CRC cells. S100A8 expression in tumor cells was associated with poor overall survival in CRC. USF2 expression was positively related to S100A8 expression in tumor cells but negatively related to S100A8‐positive stromal cells. TGF‐β was found to promote EMT and metastasis through the USF2/S100A8 axis in CRC while extracellular S100A8 suppressed the USF2/S100A8 axis. USF2 was identified as an important switch on the intracellular and extracellular S100A8 feedback loop. In colorectal cancer, S100A8 in tumor cells predicts poor prognosis but that in stroma cells indicates good prognosis. We first proved that TGF‐β promotes metastasis through upregulated intracellular USF2/S100A8 axis, and USF2 maybe is the switcher on the opposite function of intracellular and extracellular S100A8.
