The MDA-9/Syntenin/IGF1R/STAT3 Axis Directs Prostate Cancer Invasion.

ABSTRACT: Although prostate cancer is clinically manageable during several stages of progression, survival is severely compromised once cells invade and metastasize to distant organs. Comprehending the pathobiology of invasion is required for developing efficacious targeted therapies against metastasis. Based on bioinformatics data, we predicted an association of melanoma differentiation-associated gene-9 [syntenin, or syndecan binding protein (SDCBP)] in prostate cancer progression. Using tissue samples from various Gleason stage prostate cancer patients with adjacent normal tissue, a series of normal prostate and prostate cancer cell lines (with differing tumorigenic/metastatic properties), mda-9/syntenin-manipulated variants (including loss-of-function and gain-of-function cell lines), and CRISPR/Cas9 stable MDA-9/Syntenin knockout cells, we now confirm the relevance of and dependence on MDA-9/syntenin in prostate cancer invasion. MDA-9/Syntenin physically interacted with insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor following treatment with insulin-like growth factor binding protein-2 (IGFBP2), regulating downstream signaling processes that enabled STAT3 phosphorylation. This activation enhanced expression of MMP2 and MMP9, two established enzymes that positively regulate invasion. In addition, MDA-9/syntenin-mediated upregulation of proangiogenic factors including IGFBP2, IL6, IL8, and VEGFA also facilitated migration of prostate cancer cells. Collectively, our results draw attention to MDA-9/Syntenin as a positive regulator of prostate cancer metastasis, and the potential application of targeting this molecule to inhibit invasion and metastasis in prostate cancer and potentially other cancers.Significance: This study provides new mechanistic insight into the proinvasive role of MDA-9/Syntenin in prostate cancer and has potential for therapeutic application to prevent prostate cancer metastasis.

Project description:BackgroundThe extraordinary invasiveness of human glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) contributes to treatment failure and the grim prognosis of patients diagnosed with this tumor. Consequently, it is imperative to define further the cellular mechanisms that control GBM invasion and identify promising novel therapeutic targets. Melanoma differentiation associated gene-9 (MDA-9/syntenin) is a highly conserved PDZ domain-containing scaffolding protein that promotes invasion and metastasis in vitro and in vivo in human melanoma models. To determine whether MDA-9/syntenin is a relevant target in GBM, we investigated its expression in tumor samples and involvement in GBM invasion and angiogenesis.MaterialsWe assessed MDA-9/syntenin levels in available databases, patient tumor samples, and human-derived cell lines. Through gain-of-function and loss-of-function studies, we analyzed changes in invasion, angiogenesis, and signaling in vitro. We used orthotopic xenografts with GBM6 cells to demonstrate the role of MDA-9/syntenin in GBM pathogenesis in vivo.ResultsMDA-9/syntenin expression in high-grade astrocytomas is significantly higher than normal tissue counterparts. Forced overexpression of MDA-9/syntenin enhanced Matrigel invasion, while knockdown inhibited invasion, migration, and anchorage-independent growth in soft agar. Moreover, overexpression of MDA-9/syntenin increased activation of c-Src, p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase, and nuclear factor kappa-B, leading to elevated expression of matrix metalloproteinase 2 and secretion of interleukin-8 with corresponding changes observed upon knockdown. GBM6 cells that stably express small hairpin RNA for MDA-9/syntenin formed smaller tumors and had a less invasive phenotype in vivo.ConclusionsOur findings indicate that MDA-9/syntenin is a novel and important mediator of invasion in GBM and a key regulator of pathogenesis, and we identify it as a potential target for anti-invasive treatment in human astrocytoma.
