Bone-morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) play an important role in development and many cellular processes. However, their functional role in the development and progression of breast cancer is not clearly understood. In the present study, we performed a systematic expression analysis of the 14 types of BMPs in 10 human breast cancer cell lines. We found that bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) was one of the most frequently expressed BMPs. Furthermore, the expression level of BMP4 was maybe correlated with the metastatic potential of the cancer lines. Accordingly, overexpression of BMP4 in the breast cancer cell lines MCF-7 and MBA-MD-231 promoted the migration and invasion phenotypes of the cancer cells, whereas RNAi-mediated knockdown of BMP4 expression inhibited the migration and invasion activities of the cancer cells. To identify the important factors that may mediate the BMP4 functions in breast cancer cells, we analyzed a panel of cancer-related genes, and found that the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) and C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) sharply increased at both the mRNA and protein levels in the breast cancer cells overexpressing BMP4. Interestingly, when breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231 or MCF-7 were co-cultured with the osteoblast-like cells MG63 to mimic a bone metastasis microenvironment, BMP4 did not exhibit any significant effect on the expression of OPG or RANKL, two important factors in bone remodeling. BMPs antagonists, Noggin, parallel inhibited breast cancer cell migration and invasion and induced bone remodeling. Taken together, our results strongly suggest that BMP4 may promote the migration and invasion of breast cancer cells, at least in part by up-regulating the expressions of MMP-1 and CXCR4. It is conceivable that novel therapeutics for breast cancer may be developed by targeting BMP4 signaling pathway and/or its important downstream mediators in breast cancer cells. 相似文献

Breast cancer is second only to lung cancer in cancer-related deaths in women, and the majority of these deaths are caused by metastases. Obtaining a better understanding of migration and invasion, two early steps in metastasis, is critical for the development of treatments that inhibit breast cancer metastasis. In a functional proteomic screen for proteins required for invasion, extracellular heat shock protein 90 alpha (Hsp90α) was identified and shown to activate matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2). The mechanism of MMP-2 activation by Hsp90α is unknown. Intracellular Hsp90α commonly functions with a complex of co-chaperones, leading to our hypothesis that Hsp90α functions similarly outside of the cell. In this study, we show that a complex of co-chaperones outside of breast cancer cells assists Hsp90α mediated activation of MMP-2. We demonstrate that the co-chaperones Hsp70, Hop, Hsp40, and p23 are present outside of breast cancer cells and co-immunoprecipitate with Hsp90α in vitro and in breast cancer conditioned media. These co-chaperones also increase the association of Hsp90α and MMP-2 in vitro. This co-chaperone complex enhances Hsp90α-mediated activation of MMP-2 in vitro, while inhibition of Hsp70 in conditioned media reduces this activation and decreases cancer cell migration and invasion. Together, these findings support a model in which MMP-2 activation by an extracellular co-chaperone complex mediated by Hsp90α increases breast cancer cell migration and invasion. Our studies provide insight into a novel pathway for MMP-2 activation and suggest Hsp70 as an additional extracellular target for anti-metastatic drug development. 相似文献

The expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) produced by cancer cells has been associated with the high potential of metastasis in several human carcinomas, including breast cancer. Several pieces of evidence demonstrate that protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTP) have functions that promote cell migration and metastasis in breast cancer. We analyzed whether PTP inhibitor might control breast cancer invasion through MMP expression. Herein, we investigate the effect of 4-hydroxy-3,3-dimethyl-2H benzo[g]indole-2,5(3H)-dione (BVT948), a novel PTP inhibitor, on 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced MMP-9 expression and cell invasion in MCF-7 cells. The expression of MMP-9 and cell invasion increased after TPA treatment, whereas TPA-induced MMP-9 expression and cell invasion were decreased by BVT948 pretreatment. Also, BVT948 suppressed NF-κB activation in TPA-treated MCF-7 cells. However, BVT948 didn’t block TPA-induced AP-1 activation in MCF-7 cells. Our results suggest that the PTP inhibitor blocks breast cancer invasion via suppression of the expression of MMP-9. [BMB Reports 2013; 46(11): 533-538] 相似文献

Activated protein C (APC), an anticoagulant serine protease, has been shown to have non-hemostatic functions related to inflammation, cell survival, and cell migration. In this study we investigate the mechanism by which APC promotes angiogenesis and breast cancer invasion using ex vivo and in vitro methods. When proteolytically active, APC promotes cell motility/invasion and tube formation of endothelial cells. Ex vivo aortic ring assays verify the role of APC in promoting angiogenesis, which was determined to be dependent on EGFR and MMP activation. Given the capacity of APC to promote angiogenesis and the importance of this process in cancer pathology, we investigated whether the mechanisms by which APC promotes angiogenesis can also promote motility and invasion in the MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell line. Our results indicate that, extracellularly, APC engages EPCR, PAR-1, and EGFR in order to increase the invasiveness of MDA-MB-231 cells. APC activation of matrix metalloprotease (MMP) -2 and/or -9 is necessary but not sufficient to increase invasion, and APC does not utilize the endogenous plasminogen activation system to increase invasion. Intracellularly, APC activates ERK, Akt, and NFκB, but not the JNK pathway to promote MDA-MB-231 cell motility. Similar to the hemostatic protease thrombin, APC has the ability to enhance both endothelial cell motility/angiogenesis and breast cancer cell migration. 相似文献

Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are harmful compounds generated by nonspecific glycation of proteins and lipids. The accumulation of AGEs is associated with various diseases, including breast cancer. AGEs have been shown to promote a breast cancer cell line by enhancing proliferation, invasion and migration. In this study, we investigated the effect and associated mechanism of AGEs on triple negative breast cancer cells. AGEs enhanced the proliferation, tumorigenicity, invasion and migration of primary breast cancer cells. AGEs also enhanced the RNA and protein expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 and its gelatinase activity. Enhanced MMP-9 expression was mediated by extracellular-signal regulated kinase (ERK) and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) pathways. Moreover, inhibitors of ERK and NF-κB signaling attenuated the effect of AGEs on tumorigenicity, invasion and migration of primary breast cancer cells. Taken together, we suggest that AGEs directly promote primary breast cancer cells via the ERK and NF-κB pathway, which may lead to advanced therapeutic modalities of breast cancer. 相似文献

Matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) plays a critical role in digesting the extracellular matrix and has a vital function in tumor metastasis and invasion; this protease activity is significantly increased in non-small cell lung cancers. The sodium hydrogen exchanger isoform 1 (NHE1) functions as a focal point for signal coordination and cytoskeletal reorganization. NHE1 is thought to play a central role in establishing signaling components at the leading edge of a migrating cell. Therefore, we studied the relationship between NHE1 and MMP-9 activity in Chinese hamster lung fibroblasts (CCL39) stimulated with phenylephrine (PE). We show that PE increases MMP-9 gelatinolytic activity in CCL39 cells. The inhibition of phospholipase D (PLD) signaling abrogated PE-induced MMP-9 activity. The role of PLD as an essential signaling intermediate was confirmed when the addition of permeable phosphatidic acid increased MMP-9 activity in the same cells. PE-induced invasion was increased 1.9-fold over controls and the PE response was lost when 1-butanol was used to block PLD signaling. Cells pre-treated with the NHE1 inhibitor, 5-(N-ethyl-N-isopropyl) amiloride (EIPA) prior to PE addition resulted in a notable decrease in MMP-9 activation and cell invasion as compared to untreated PE-stimulated cells. CCL39 NHE1 null cells demonstrated no increase in MMP-9 protease activity or cell invasion in response to PE treatment. Reconstitution of NHE1 expression recovered the PE-induced activation of protease activity and cell invasion. MMP-9 processing was altered in cells expressing a proton transport defective NHE1 but retained the ability to respond to PE. Conversely, cells expressing an ezrin, radixin, moesin (ERM)-binding deficient NHE1 had a lower MMP-9 activity and the protease did not respond to PE addition. Parallel studies on NCI-H358 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCL) cells showed that PE stimulated both MMP-9 activity and cell invasion in an NHE1 dependent manner. This work describes for the first time a PE-induced relationship between NHE1 and MMP-9 and a new potential mechanism by which NHE1 could promote tumor formation and metastasis. 相似文献

Ras expression has been suggested to be a marker for tumor aggressiveness of breast cancer. We previously showed that H-Ras, but not N-Ras, induced invasive/migratory phenotypes in MCF10A human breast epithelial cells. The present study aimed to determine the role of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor in H-Ras-induced malignant progression of human breast epithelial cells. Here, we show that G-CSF plays a crucial role in H-Ras-induced MCF10A cell invasion and migration. The siRNA-mediated knockdown of G-CSF significantly reduced H-Ras-induced matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 expression, as well as invasion/migration, suggesting the functional significance of G-CSF in the invasive phenotype of human breast cells. Importantly, the induction of G-CSF expression conferred the invasive/migratory phenotypes to MCF10A cells with up-regulation of MMP-2 and activation of Rac1, MKK3/6, p38 MAPK, Akt, and ERKs. Knockdown of Rac1 by siRNA significantly inhibited MMP-2 upregulation and invasiveness of G-CSF MCF10A cells, demonstrating that G-CSF-induced MMP-2 upregulation and invasive phenotype is mediated by Rac1. Using human breast tissues and sera from breast cancer patients, we further demonstrate that the expression level of G-CSF is strongly correlated with pathologically-diagnosed breast cancer. These data provide a molecular basis for the crucial role of G-CSF in promoting invasiveness of human breast epithelial cells. 相似文献

Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) is a physiological inhibitor of urokinase (uPA), a serine protease known to promote cell migration and invasion. Intuitively, increased levels of PAI-1 should be beneficial in downregulating uPA activity, particularly in cancer. By contrast, in vivo, increased levels of PAI-1 are associated with a poor prognosis in breast cancer. This phenomenon is termed the "PAI-1 paradox". Many factors are responsible for the upregulation of PAI-1 in the tumor microenvironment. We hypothesize that there is a breast cancer predisposition to a more aggressive stage when PAI-1 is upregulated as a consequence of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS). MetS exerts a detrimental effect on the breast tumor microenvironment that supports cancer invasion. People with MetS have an increased risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, peripheral vascular disease and hyperinsulinemia. Recently, MetS has also been identified as a risk factor for breast cancer. We hypothesize the existence of the "PAI-1 cycle". Sustained by MetS, adipocytokines alter PAI-1 expression to promote angiogenesis, tumor-cell migration and procoagulant microparticle formation from endothelial cells, which generates thrombin and further propagates PAI-1 synthesis. All of these factors culminate in a chemotherapy-resistant breast tumor microenvironment. The PAI-1 cycle may partly explain the PAI-1 paradox. In this hypothesis paper, we will discuss further how MetS upregulates PAI-1 and how an increased level of PAI-1 can be linked to a poor prognosis. 相似文献

The first prototype of the protease activated receptor (PAR) family, the thrombin receptor PAR1, plays a central role both in the malignant invasion process of breast carcinoma metastasis and in the physiological process of placental implantation. The molecular mechanism underlying PAR1 involvement in tumor invasion and metastasis, however, is poorly defined. Here we show that PAR1 increases the invasive properties of tumor cells primarily by increased adhesion to extracellular matrix components. This preferential adhesion is accompanied by the cytoskeletal reorganization of F-actin toward migration-favoring morphology as detected by phalloidin staining. Activation of PAR1 increased the phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase and paxillin, and the induced formation of focal contact complexes. PAR1 activation affected integrin cell-surface distribution without altering their level of expression. The specific recruitment of alpha(v)beta(5) to focal contact sites, but not of alpha(v)beta(3) or alpha(5)beta(1), was observed by immunofluorescent microscopy. PAR1 overexpressing cells showed selective reciprocal co-precipitation with alpha(v)beta(5) and paxillin but not with alpha(v)beta(3) that remained evenly distributed under these conditions. This co-immunoprecipitation failed to occur in cells containing the truncated form of PAR1 that lacked the entire cytoplasmic portion of the receptor. Thus, the PAR1 cytoplasmic tail is essential for conveying the cross-talk and recruiting the alpha(v)beta(5) integrin. While PAR1 overexpressing cells were invasive in vitro, as reflected by their migration through a Matrigel barrier, invasion was further enhanced by ligand activation of PAR1. Moreover, the application of anti-alpha(v)beta(5) antibodies specifically attenuated this PAR1 induced invasion. We propose that the activation of PAR1 may lead to a novel cooperation with the alpha(v)beta(5) integrin that supports tumor cell invasion. 相似文献

Patients with advanced prostate cancer often exhibit increased activation of the coagulation system. The key activator of the coagulation cascade is the serine protease thrombin which is capable of eliciting numerous cellular responses. We previously reported that the thrombin receptor PAR1 is overexpressed in prostate cancer. To investigate further the role of PAR1 in prostate cancer metastasis, we examined the effects of thrombin activation on cell adhesion and motility in PC-3 prostate cancer cells. Activation of PAR1-induced dynamic cytoskeletal reorganization and reduced PC-3 binding to collagen I, collagen IV, and laminin (P < 0.01) but not fibronectin. Expression of the cell surface integrin receptors did not change as assessed by flow cytometry. Immunofluorescence microscopy revealed that PAR1 stimulation caused reorganization of the focal adhesions, suggesting that PAR1 activation in PC-3 cells may be modulating cell adhesion through integrin function but not expression. Furthermore, RhoA was activated upon stimulation with thrombin with subsequent cell contraction, decreased cell adhesion, and induced migration towards monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1; CCL2). Thus, it appears that thrombin stimulation plays a role in prostate cancer metastasis by decreasing cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix and positioning the cell in a "ready state" for migration in response to a chemotactic signal. Further exploration is needed to determine whether PAR1 activation affects other signaling pathways involved in prostate cancer. 相似文献

Protease-activated receptors (PAR1 and PAR2) contribute to tumor cell motility and metastasis 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
The effects of the pleiotropic serine protease thrombin on tumor cells are commonly thought to be mediated by the thrombin receptor protease-activated receptor 1 (PAR1). We demonstrate here that PAR1 activation has a role in experimental metastasis using the anti-PAR1 antibodies ATAP2 and WEDE15, which block PAR1 cleavage and activation. Thrombin also stimulates chemokinesis of human melanoma cells toward fibroblast conditioned media and soluble matrix proteins. Thrombin-enhanced migration is abolished by anti-PAR1 antibodies, demonstrating that PAR1 cleavage and activation are required. The PAR1-specific agonist peptide TFLLRNPNDK, however, does not stimulate migration, indicating that PAR1 activation is not sufficient. In contrast, a combination of TFLLRNPNDK and the PAR2 agonist peptide SLIGRL mimics the thrombin effect on migration, whereas PAR2 agonist alone has no effect. Agonist peptides for the thrombin receptors PAR3 and PAR4 used alone or with PAR1 agonist also have no effect. Similarly, activation of PAR1 and PAR2 also enhances chemokinesis of prostate cancer cells. Desensitization with PAR2 agonist abolishes thrombin-enhanced cell motility, demonstrating that thrombin acts through PAR2. PAR2 is cleaved by proteases with trypsin-like specificity but not by thrombin. Thrombin enhances migration in the presence of a cleavage-blocking anti-PAR2 antibody, suggesting that thrombin activates PAR2 indirectly and independent of receptor cleavage. Treatment of melanoma cells with trypsin or PAR2 agonist peptide enhances experimental metastasis. Together, these data confirm a role for PAR1 in migration and metastasis and demonstrate an unexpected role for PAR2 in thrombin-dependent tumor cell migration and in metastasis. 相似文献

Breast cancer is the most malignant tumor for women, however, the mechanisms underlying this devastating disease remain unclear. SET is an endogenous inhibitor of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) and involved in many physiological and pathological processes. SET could promote the occurrence of tumor through inhibiting PP2A. In this study, we explore the role of SET in the migration and invasion of breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231 and ZR-75-30. The stable suppression of SET expression through lentivirus-mediated RNA interference (RNAi) was shown to inhibit the growth, migration and invasion of breast cancer cells. Knockdown of SET increases the activity and expression of PP2Ac and decrease the expression of matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9). These data demonstrate that SET may be involved in the pathogenic processes of breast cancer, indicating that SET can serve as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of breast cancer. 相似文献

β-arrestins play critical roles in chemotaxis and cytoskeletal reorganization downstream of several receptor types, including G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), which are targets for greater than 50% of all pharmaceuticals. Among them, receptors for lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), namely LPA1 are overexpressed in breast cancer and promote metastatic spread. We have recently reported that β-arrestin2 regulates LPA1-mediated breast cancer cell migration and invasion, although the underlying molecular mechanisms are not clearly understood. We show here that LPA induces activity of the small G protein, Rap1 in breast cancer cells in a β-arrestin2-dependent manner, but fails to activate Rap1 in non-malignant mammary epithelial cells. We found that Rap1A mRNA levels are higher in human breast tumors compared to healthy patient samples and Rap1A is robustly expressed in human ductal carcinoma in situ and invasive tumors, in contrast to the normal mammary ducts. Rap1A protein expression is also higher in aggressive breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231 and Hs578t) relative to the weakly invasive MCF-7 cells or non-malignant MCF10A mammary cells. Depletion of Rap1A expression significantly impaired LPA-stimulated migration of breast cancer cells and invasiveness in three-dimensional Matrigel cultures. Furthermore, we found that β-arrestin2 associates with the actin binding protein IQGAP1 in breast cancer cells, and is necessary for the recruitment of IQGAP1 to the leading edge of migratory cells. Depletion of IQGAP1 blocked LPA-stimulated breast cancer cell invasion. Finally, we have identified that LPA enhances the binding of endogenous Rap1A to β-arrestin2, and also stimulates Rap1A and IQGAP1 to associate with LPA1. Thus our data establish novel roles for Rap1A and IQGAP1 as critical regulators of LPA-induced breast cancer cell migration and invasion. 相似文献

Lung cancer has the highest mortality rate among human cancers, and the majority of deaths can be attributed to metastatic spread. Lung cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a component of the tumour microenvironment that contributes to this process. Exosomes are small membrane vesicles secreted by all types of cells that mediate cell interactions, including cancer metastasis. Here, we show that lung CSC-derived exosomes promote the migration and invasion of lung cancer cells, up-regulate expression levels of N-cadherin, vimentin, MMP-9 and MMP-1, and down-regulate E-cadherin expression. Moreover, we verified that these exosomes contribute to a pro-metastatic phenotype in lung cancer cells via miR-210-3p transfer. The results of bioinformatics analysis and dual-luciferase reporter assays further indicated that miR-210-3p may bind to fibroblast growth factor receptor-like 1 (FGFRL1); silencing FGFRL1 enhanced the metastatic ability of lung cancer cells, whereas overexpressing FGFRL1 suppressed metastasis. Taken together, our results provide new insights into a potential molecular mechanism whereby lung CSC-derived exosomal miR-210-3p targets FGFRL1 to promote lung cancer metastasis. FGFRL1 may be a promising therapeutic target in lung cancer. 相似文献

Cancer invasion and metastasis are the major causes of cancer patient mortality. Various growth factors, including hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), are known to promote cancer invasion and metastasis, but the regulatory mechanisms involved are not fully understood. Here, we show that HGF-promoted migration and invasion of breast cancer cells are regulated by CUB domain–containing protein 1 (CDCP1), a transmembrane activator of SRC kinase. In metastatic human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231, which highly expresses the HGF receptor MET and CDCP1, we show that CDCP1 knockdown attenuated HGF-induced MET activation, followed by suppression of lamellipodia formation and cell migration/invasion. In contrast, in the low invasive/nonmetastatic breast cancer cell line T47D, which had no detectable MET and CDCP1 expression, ectopic MET expression stimulated the HGF-dependent activation of invasive activity, and concomitant CDCP1 expression activated SRC and further promoted invasive activity. In these cells, CDCP1 expression dramatically activated HGF-induced membrane remodeling, which was accompanied by activation of the small GTPase Rac1. Analysis of guanine nucleotide exchange factors revealed that ARHGEF7 was specifically required for CDCP1-dependent induction of HGF-induced invasive ability. Furthermore, immunofluorescence staining demonstrated that CDCP1 coaccumulated with ARHGEF7. Finally, we confirmed that the CDCP1-SRC axis was also crucial for HGF and ARHGEF7-RAC1 signaling in MDA-MB-231 cells. Altogether, these results demonstrate that the CDCP1-SRC-ARHGEF7-RAC1 pathway plays an important role in the HGF-induced invasion of a subset of breast cancer cells. 相似文献

Multi-step pericellular proteolysis controls the transition from individual to collective cancer cell invasion 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10

Invasive cell migration through tissue barriers requires pericellular remodelling of extracellular matrix (ECM) executed by cell-surface proteases, particularly membrane-type-1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP/MMP-14). Using time-resolved multimodal microscopy, we show how invasive HT-1080 fibrosarcoma and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells coordinate mechanotransduction and fibrillar collagen remodelling by segregating the anterior force-generating leading edge containing beta1 integrin, MT1-MMP and F-actin from a posterior proteolytic zone executing fibre breakdown. During forward movement, sterically impeding fibres are selectively realigned into microtracks of single-cell calibre. Microtracks become expanded by multiple following cells by means of the large-scale degradation of lateral ECM interfaces, ultimately prompting transition towards collective invasion similar to that in vivo. Both ECM track widening and transition to multicellular invasion are dependent on MT1-MMP-mediated collagenolysis, shown by broad-spectrum protease inhibition and RNA interference. Thus, invasive migration and proteolytic ECM remodelling are interdependent processes that control tissue micropatterning and macropatterning and, consequently, individual and collective cell migration. 相似文献
