SRC family kinase FYN promotes the neuroendocrine phenotype and visceral metastasis in advanced prostate cancer.

ABSTRACT: FYN is a SRC family kinase (SFK) that has been shown to be up-regulated in human prostate cancer (PCa) tissues and cell lines. In this study, we observed that FYN is strongly up-regulated in human neuroendocrine PCa (NEPC) tissues and xenografts, as well as cells derived from a NEPC transgenic mouse model. In silico analysis of FYN expression in prostate cancer cell line databases revealed an association with the expression of neuroendocrine (NE) markers such as CHGA, CD44, CD56, and SYP. The loss of FYN abrogated the invasion of PC3 and ARCaPM cells in response to MET receptor ligand HGF. FYN also contributed to the metastatic potential of NEPC cells in two mouse models of visceral metastasis with two different cell lines (PC3 and TRAMPC2-RANKL). The activation of MET appeared to regulate neuroendocrine (NE) features as evidenced by increased expression of NE markers in PC3 cells with HGF. Importantly, the overexpression of FYN protein in DU145 cells was directly correlated with the increase of CHGA. Thus, our data demonstrated that the neuroendocrine differentiation that occurs in PCa cells is, at least in part, regulated by FYN kinase. Understanding the role of FYN in the regulation of NE markers will provide further support for ongoing clinical trials of SFK and MET inhibitors in castration-resistant PCa patients.

Project description:In perfused rat liver, hyperosmolarity induces Mrp2- (Kubitz, R., D'urso, D., Keppler, D., and Häussinger, D. (1997) Gastroenterology 113, 1438-1442) and Bsep retrieval (Schmitt, M., Kubitz, R., Lizun, S., Wettstein, M., and Häussinger, D. (2001) Hepatology 33, 509-518) from the canalicular membrane leading to cholestasis. The aim of this study was to elucidate the underlying signaling events. Hyperosmolarity-induced retrieval of Mrp2 and Bsep from the canalicular membrane in perfused rat liver was accompanied by an activating phosphorylation of the Src kinases Fyn and Yes but not of c-Src. Both hyperosmotic transporter retrieval and Src kinase activation were sensitive to apocynin (300 μmol/liter), N-acetylcysteine (NAC; 10 mmol/liter), and SU6656 (1 μmol/liter). Also PP-2 (250 nmol/liter), which inhibited hyperosmotic Fyn but not Yes activation, prevented hyperosmotic transporter retrieval from the canalicular membrane, suggesting that Fyn but not Yes mediates hyperosmotic Bsep and Mrp2 retrieval. Neither hyperosmotic Fyn activation nor Bsep/Mrp2 retrieval was observed in livers from p47(phox) knock-out mice. Hyperosmotic activation of JNKs was sensitive to apocynin and NAC but insensitive to SU6656 and PP-2, indicating that JNKs are not involved in transporter retrieval, as also evidenced by experiments using the JNK inhibitors L-JNKI-1 and SP6001255, respectively. Hyperosmotic transporter retrieval was accompanied by a NAC and Fyn knockdown-sensitive inhibition of biliary excretion of the glutathione conjugate of 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene in perfused rat liver and of cholyl-L-lysyl-fluorescein secretion into the pseudocanaliculi formed by hepatocyte couplets. Hyperosmolarity triggered an association between Fyn and cortactin and increased the amount of phosphorylated cortactin underneath the canalicular membrane. It is concluded that the hyperosmotic cholestasis is triggered by a NADPH oxidase-driven reactive oxygen species formation that mediates Fyn-dependent retrieval of the Mrp2 and Bsep from the canalicular membrane, which may involve an increased cortactin phosphorylation.
