Dysregulated <i>SASS6</i> expression promotes increased ciliogenesis and cell invasion phenotypes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Centriole and/or cilium defects are characteristic of cancer cells and have been linked to cancer cell invasion. However, the mechanistic bases of this regulation remain incompletely understood. Spindle assembly abnormal protein 6 homolog (SAS-6) is essential for centriole biogenesis and cilium formation. SAS-6 levels decrease at the end of mitosis and G1, resulting from APC Cdh1 -targeted degradation. To examine the biological consequences of unrestrained SAS-6 expression, we used a nondegradable SAS-6 mutant (SAS-6ND). This led to an increase in ciliation and cell invasion and caused an up-regulation of the YAP/TAZ pathway. SAS-6ND expression resulted in cell morphology changes, nuclear deformation, and YAP translocation to the nucleus, resulting in increased TEAD-dependent transcription. SAS-6–mediated invasion was prevented by YAP down-regulation or by blocking ciliogenesis. Similarly, down-regulation of SAS-6 in DMS273, a highly invasive and highly ciliated lung cancer cell line that overexpresses SAS-6, completely blocked cell invasion and depleted YAP protein levels. Thus, our data provide evidence for a defined role of SAS-6 in cell invasion through the activation of the YAP/TAZ pathway.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
