Resumo(s)
FHL2 is a multifunctional protein involved in gene transcription regulation and cytoarchitecture modulation that has been recently associated with epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in colon cancer. Overexpression of FHL2 in a fish pre-osteoblastic cell line promoted cell dedifferentiation and impaired its extracellular matrix mineralization capacity. Cell cultures also acquired a novel threedimensional structure organization, their proliferation rate was enhanced and gene expression profile
was altered in agreement with an EMT-like phenotype upon overexpression of FHL2. Altogether, our results provide additional support to the relevance of FHL2 for cell differentiation and its association with
hallmarks of cancer phenotype.
