Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is an extremely lethal malignancy with aggressive behaviors, including liver or distant metastasis; however, the underlying mechanisms driving the metastasis of GBC remain poorly understood. In this study, it is found that DNA methyltransferase DNMT3A is highly expressed in GBC tumor tissues compared to matched adjacent normal tissues. Clinicopathological analysis shows that DNMT3A is positively correlated with liver metastasis and poor overall survival outcomes in patients with GBC. Functional analysis confirms that DNMT3A promotes the metastasis of GBC cells in a manner dependent on its DNA methyltransferase activity. Mechanistically, DNMT3A interacts with and is recruited by YAP/TAZ to recognize and access the CpG island within the CDH1 promoter and generates hypermethylation of the CDH1 promoter, which leads to transcriptional silencing of CDH1 and accelerated epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition. Using tissue microarrays, the association between the expression of DNMT3A, YAP/TAZ, and CDH1 is confirmed, which affects the metastatic ability of GBC. These results reveal a novel mechanism through which DNMT3A recruitment by YAP/TAZ guides DNA methylation to drive GBC metastasis and provide insights into the treatment of GBC metastasis by targeting the functional connection between DNMT3A and YAP/TAZ.
