| Abstract | nloaded mitotic kinase Aurora-A (Aur-A) is required to form the bipolar spindle and ensure accurate chromosegregation before cell division. Aur-A dysregulation represents an oncogenic event that promotes tumor tion. Here, we report that Aur-A promotes breast cancer metastasis. Aur-A overexpression enhanced ary cell migration by dephosphorylation and activation of cofilin, which facilitates actin reorganization lymerization. Cofilin knockdown impaired Aur-A–driven cell migration and protrusion of the cell memConversely, overexpression of activated cofilin abrogated the effects of Aur-A knockdown on cell min. Moreover, Aur-A overexpession increased the expression of the cofilin phosphatase Slingshot-1 ), contributing to cofilin activation and cell migration. We found that phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibition blocked Aur-A–induced cofilin dephosphorylation, actin reorganization, and cell migration, ting crosstalk with PI3K signaling and a potential benefit of PI3K inhibition in tumors with deregulated . Additionally, we found an association between Aur-A overexpression and cofilin activity in breast tissues. Our findings indicate that activation of the cofilin-F-actin pathway contributes to tumor cell cancer migration and metastasis enhanced by Aur-A, revealing a novel function for mitotic Aur-A kinase in tumor progression.
