Abstract

Osteopontin (OPN), a secreted phosphoglycoprotein, has important roles in tumor growth, invasion and metastasis in numerous types of cancers. Denticleless E3 ubiquitin protein ligase homolog (DTL), one of the CUL4‑DDB1‑associated factors (DCAFs), has also been associated with the invasion and metastasis of cancer cells. In the present study, OPN was found to induce DTL expression in liver cancer cells, and the results obtained using luciferase activity assays demonstrated that OPN could transcriptionally activate DTL expression in liver cancer cells. Furthermore, the results of the present study demonstrated that OPN could increase the expression of DTL via PI3K/AKT signaling. In conclusion, the present study demonstrated that OPN, as an extracellular matrix protein, is able to promote the growth and invasion of liver cancer cells through stimulation of the expression of DTL via the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.
