Growth factor receptor bound protein-7 (Grb7) is a multi-domain signaling adaptor protein that regulates various cellular functions acting as an adaptor protein in relaying signal transduction. Although several studies indicated that Grb7 amplifies EGFR-mediated signaling in cancers, the detailed regulatory mechanism of whether and how Grb7 is involved in EGFR-mediated lung cancer progression remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that EGF-regulated Grb7 phosphorylation promotes lung cancer progression through phosphorylation of STAT3. Intrinsically, EGF/EGFR signal is required for the formation of Grb7/STAT3 complex as well as its nuclear accumulation. Once in the nucleus, STAT3 interacts with EPHA4 promoter, which in turn affects the gene expression level of EPHA4 through transcriptional regulation. Functionally, EphA4 together with EGFR promotes cancer migration, proliferation, and anchorage-independent growth. Our study reveals a novel mechanism in which Grb7 contribute to lung cancer malignancies through its interaction with STAT3 that leads to sequential regulation of EPHA4 gene expression in an EGF/EGFR signal-dependent manner.
