AbstractOur previous observations also demonstrate that TrkB expression in breast cancer induces metastatic potential by both JAK2/STAT3 and PI3K/AKT activation and induced metastasis of breast cancer mediated suppression of RUNX3 and KEAP1 expression by TrkB. Also, TrkB induced metastatic potential of cancer and suppressed the growth inhibitory activity in response to BMP signaling by preventing BMRRI/BMPRII complex formation. The previous report BMP-2 and BMP4 trigger tumor inhibitory activity in colorectal cancer by upregulation of RUNX3 expression. Although TrkB may regulate tumor inhibitory activity by BMP-induced upregulation of RUNX3, it is not still fully understood how TrkB signaling adjusts to inhibit BMP signaling-mediated tumor suppression.Our findings provide important molecular insights into TrkB-mediated modulation of BMP signaling has remained unknown, and none of the studies still reported a correlation between TrkB and BMP signaling. Our current study surprisingly showed that unique role of TrkB in the regulation of BMP-induced tumor inhibitory activity and BMP-2-induced RUNX3 expression.
