Abstract: | BackgroundThe tumor-associated antigen 90K (TAA90K)/Mac-2-binding protein is expressed at elevated level in cancerous tissues and associated with poor prognosis. Since TAA90K has been implicated in the restructuring of the extracellular matrix, we examined the functional relationship between colon cancer cell-derived TAA90K and the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) promatrilysin (proMMP-7), and also tested whether TAA90K is a novel substrate for MMPs-2, -7 and -9.MethodsThe effect of TAA90K on proMMP-7 levels in HT-29 conditioned media was quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Binding of TAA90K to MMPs, extracellular matrix proteins and galectin-3 was measured by solid-phase binding assays. Proteolytic cleavage of TAA90K by MMPs was documented by SDS-PAGE and protein sequencing analysis.ResultsTAA90K enhanced extracellular levels of proMMP-7 in HT-29 cells. In addition, TAA90K was cleaved by MMPs-2, -7 and -9. MMP-7-mediated cleavage of TAA90K did not affect its binding to MMP-7, laminin-1, collagen IV and galectin-3 but reduced its interaction with fibronectin and laminin-10, and lowered the levels of proMMP-7 in the HT-29 medium.ConclusionTAA90K is a novel substrate for MMPs-2, -7 and -9 and modulates proMMP-7 levels in colon cancer cells.General significanceProteolytic cleavage of TAA90K may have functional implications in colon cancer. |
