Dynamic Change in p63 Protein Expression during Implantation of Urothelial Cancer Clusters.


ABSTRACT: Although the dissemination of urothelial cancer cells is supposed to be a major cause of the multicentricity of urothelial tumors, the mechanism of implantation has not been well investigated. Here, we found that cancer cell clusters from the urine of patients with urothelial cancer retain the ability to survive, grow, and adhere. By using cell lines and primary cells collected from multiple patients, we demonstrate that ?Np63? protein in cancer cell clusters was rapidly decreased through proteasomal degradation when clusters were attached to the matrix, leading to downregulation of E-cadherin and upregulation of N-cadherin. Decreased ?Np63? protein level in urothelial cancer cell clusters was involved in the clearance of the urothelium. Our data provide the first evidence that clusters of urothelial cancer cells exhibit dynamic changes in ?Np63? expression during attachment to the matrix, and decreased ?Np63? protein plays a critical role in the interaction between cancer cell clusters and the urothelium. Thus, because ?Np63? might be involved in the process of intraluminal dissemination of urothelial cancer cells, blocking the degradation of ?Np63? could be a target of therapy to prevent the dissemination of urothelial cancer.
