Rack1 Mediates the Interaction of P-Glycoprotein with Anxa2 and Regulates Migration and Invasion of Multidrug-Resistant Breast Cancer Cells.

ABSTRACT: The emergence of multidrug resistance is always associated with more rapid tumor recurrence and metastasis. P-glycoprotein (P-gp), which is a well-known multidrug-efflux transporter, confers enhanced invasion ability in drug-resistant cells. Previous studies have shown that P-gp probably exerts its tumor-promoting function via protein-protein interaction. These interactions were implicated in the activation of intracellular signal transduction. We previously showed that P-gp binds to Anxa2 and promotes the invasiveness of multidrug-resistant (MDR) breast cancer cells through regulation of Anxa2 phosphorylation. However, the accurate mechanism remains unclear. In the present study, a co-immunoprecipitation coupled with liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry-based interactomic approach was performed to screen P-gp binding proteins. We identified Rack1 as a novel P-gp binding protein. Knockdown of Rack1 significantly inhibited proliferation and invasion of MDR cancer cells. Mechanistic studies demonstrated that Rack1 functioned as a scaffold protein that mediated the binding of P-gp to Anxa2 and Src. We showed that Rack1 regulated P-gp activity, which was necessary for adriamycin-induced P-gp-mediated phosphorylation of Anxa2 and Erk1/2. Overall, the findings in this study augment novel insights to the understanding of the mechanism employed by P-gp for promoting migration and invasion of MDR cancer cells.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Acquirement of resistance is always associated with a highly aggressive phenotype of tumor cells. Recent studies have revealed that Annexin A2 (Anxa2) is a key protein that links drug resistance and cancer metastasis. A high level of Anxa2 in cancer tissues is correlated to a highly aggressive phenotype. Increased Anxa2 expression appears to be specific in many drug-resistant cancer cells. The functional activity of Anxa2 is regulated by tyrosine phosphorylation at the Tyr23 site. Nevertheless, the accurate molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of Anxa2 tyrosine phosphorylation and whether phosphorylation is necessary for the enhanced invasive phenotype of drug-resistant cells remain unknown. METHODS:Small interfering RNAs, small molecule inhibitors, overexpression, loss of function or gain of function, rescue experiments, Western blot, wound healing assays, transwell assays, and in vivo metastasis mice models were used to investigate the functional effects of Rack1 and Src on the tyrosine phosphorylation of Anxa2 and the invasion and metastatic potential of drug-resistant breast cancer cells. The interaction among Rack1, Src, and Anxa2 in drug-resistant cells was verified by co-immunoprecipitation assay. RESULTS:We demonstrated that Anxa2 Tyr23 phosphorylation is necessary for multidrug-resistant breast cancer invasion and metastasis. Rack1 is required for the invasive and metastatic potential of drug-resistant breast cancer cells through modulating Anxa2 phosphorylation. We provided evidence that Rack1 acts as a signal hub and mediates the interaction between Src and Anxa2, thereby facilitating Anxa2 phosphorylation by Src kinase. CONCLUSIONS:Our findings suggest a convergence point role of Rack1/Src/Anxa2 complex in the crosstalk between drug resistance and cancer aggressiveness. The interaction between Anxa2 and Rack1/Src is responsible for the association between drug resistance and invasive/metastatic potential in breast cancer cells. Thus, our findings provide novel insights on the mechanism underlying the functional linkage between drug resistance and cancer aggressiveness.

Project description:Radiation therapy is an effective non-surgical means to achieve local control for various solid tumors including colorectal cancer (CRC), but metastasis and recurrences after conventional radiotherapy remains a major obstacle in clinical practice, and the knowledge concerning the changes of metastatic potential after heavy ion radiation is still limited. This study investigated how radiation, including γ- and carbon ion radiation, would change the metastatic capacity of two CRC cell lines, HCT116 and DLD-1, and examined the underlying molecular mechanisms. We found that the migration and invasion was enhanced in DLD-1 cells but impaired in HCT116 cells in vitro and in vivo after radiation of γ-rays or carbons, and radiation induced epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) in DLD-1 cells but mesenchymal epithelial transition (MET) in HCT116 cells. The expression of snail, a key inducer of EMT, was significantly enhanced by inhibition of glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK3β) in both cell lines, suggesting the modulation of snail was alike in the two CRC cell lines. However, radiation inactivated GSK3β through stimulating the phosphorylation of AKT and GSK3β at Ser473 and Ser9 in DLD-1 cells respectively, but activated GSK3β by decreasing the expression of pAKTSer473 and pGSK3βSer9 or increasing the phosphorylation of GSK3β at Tyr216 in HCT116 cells. Therefore, the above inverted motility changes was due to the opposite modulation of AKT/GSK3β signaling pathway by radiation, which was further verified in other type of cancer cell lines including MCF-7, U251 and A549 cells. Moreover, it was found that annexin A2 (ANAX2) directly bound with GSK3β and acted as a negative regulator of GSK3β upon radiation. Knocking-down ANXA2 gene reversed the enhanced migration of the irradiated DLD-1 cells and strengthened radiation-impaired migration of HCT116 cells. Collectively, this study reveals that the change of cellular motility after radiation is independent of radiation type but is correlated with the inherent of cells.
