    Abstract
    Epigenetic abnormalities affect tumor progression, as well as gene expression and function. Among the diverse epigenetic modulators, the histone methyltransferase G9a has been focused on due to its role in accelerating tumorigenesis and metastasis. Although epigenetic dysregulation is closely related to tumor progression, reports regarding the relationship between G9a and its possible downstream factors regulating breast tumor growth are scarce. Therefore, we aimed to verify the role of G9a and its presumable downstream regulators during malignant progression of breast cancer. G9a-depleted MCF7 and T47D breast cancer cells exhibited suppressed motility, including migration and invasion, and an improved response to ionizing radiation. To identify the possible key factors underlying these effects, microarray analysis was performed, and a TGF-β superfamily member, BMP5, was selected as a prominent target gene. It was found that BMP5 expression was markedly increased by G9a knockdown. Moreover, reduction in the migration/invasion ability of MCF7 and T47D breast cancer cells was induced by BMP5. Interestingly, a G9a-depletion-mediated increase in BMP5 expression induced the phosphorylation of Smad proteins, which are the intracellular signaling mediators of BMP5. Accordingly, we concluded that the observed antitumor effects may be based on the G9a-depletion-mediated increase in BMP5 expression and the consequent facilitation of Smad protein phosphorylation.
