Myocardin (MYOCD) promotes Smad3-mediated transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling in mouse fibroblast cells. Our previous studies show that TGF-β/SMADs signaling activation enhances epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells. However, whether and how MYOCD contributes to TGF-β-induced EMT of NSCLC cells are poorly elucidated. Here, we found that TGF-β-induced EMT was accompanied by increased MYOCD expression. Interestingly, MYOCD overexpression augmented EMT and invasion of NSCLC cells induced by TGF-β, whereas knockdown of MYOCD expression attenuated these effects. Overexpression and knockdown of MYOCD resulted in the upregulation and downregulation of TGF-β-induced Snail mRNA, respectively. Moreover, MYOCD overexpression promoted TGF-β-stimulated NSCLC cell metastasis in vivo. MYOCD was highly expressed and positively correlated with Snail in metastatic NSCLC tissues. Mechanistically, MYOCD directly interacted with SMAD3 and sustained the formation of TGF-β-induced nuclear SMAD3/SMAD4 complex, facilitating TGF-β/SMAD3-induced transactivation of Snail. Importantly, MYOCD was transcriptionally activated by TGF-β-induced SMAD3/SMAD4 complex and CRISPR/Cas9-mediated silencing of SMAD3/SMAD4 led to a reduction in MYOCD mRNA expression. Taken together, our findings indicate that MYOCD promotes TGF-β-induced EMT and metastasis of NSCLC and identify a positive feedback loop between MYOCD and SMAD3/SMAD4 driving TGF-β-induced EMT.
