Phosphatidylinositol-5-phosphate (PtdIns5P) 4-kinase beta (PIP4K2B) directly regulates the levels of two important phosphoinositide (PI) second messengers PtdIns5P and phosphatidylinositol-(4,5)-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P2). PIP4K2B has been linked to the regulation of gene transcription, TP53 and AKT activation and to the regulation of cellular reactive oxygen accumulation. However its role in human tumour development and on patient survival is not known. Here we have interrogated the expression of PIP4K2B in a cohort (489) of breast tumour patients using IHC staining and by a meta-analysis of gene expression profiles from 2999 breast tumours, both with associated clinical outcome data. Low PIP4K2B expression was associated with increased tumour size, high Nottingham histological grade (NHG), Ki67 expression and distant metastasis, while high PIP4K2B expression strongly associated with ERBB2 expression. Kaplan Meier curves showed that both high and low PIP4K2B expression correlated with poorer patient survival compared to intermediate expression. In normal (MCF10A) and tumour (MCF7) breast epithelial cell lines, mimicking low PIP4K2B expression, using sh-RNAi mediated knockdown, led to a decrease in the transcription and expression of the tumour suppressor protein E-cadherin (CDH1). In MCF10A cells knockdown of PIP4K2B also enhanced TGFβ induced epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), a process required during the development of metastasis. Analysis of gene expression datasets confirmed the association between low PIP4K2B and low CDH1expression. Decreased CDH1 expression and enhancement of TGFβ-induced EMT by reduced PIP4K2B expression might in part explain the association between low PIP4K2B expression and poor patient survival.
