Functional Characterization of Colon Cancer-Associated Mutations in ADAM17: Modifications in the Pro-Domain Interfere with Trafficking and Maturation.

ABSTRACT: Colorectal cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed malignancies in the Western world and is associated with elevated expression and activity of epidermal growth factor receptors (EGF-R). The metalloproteinase ADAM17 is involved in EGF-R activation by processing EGF-R ligands from membrane-bound pro-ligands. Underlining the link between colon cancer and ADAM17, genetic intestinal cancer models in ADAM17-deficient mice show a reduced tumor burden. In this study, we characterize point mutations within the ADAM17 gene found in the tissue of colon cancer patients. In order to shed light on the role of ADAM17 in cancer development, as well as into the mechanisms that regulate maturation and cellular trafficking of ADAM17, we here perform overexpression studies of four ADAM17 variants located in the pro-, membrane-proximal- and cytoplasmic-domain of the ADAM17 protein in ADAM10/17-deficient HEK cells. Interestingly, we found a cancer-associated point mutation within the pro-domain of ADAM17 (R177C) to be most impaired in its proteolytic activity and trafficking to the cell membrane. By comparing this variant to an ADAM17 construct lacking the entire pro-domain, we discovered similar functional limitations and propose a crucial role of the pro-domain for ADAM17 maturation, cellular trafficking and thus proteolytic activity.

Project description:Most adult patients have a D816V mutation in phosphotransferase domain (PTD), we have described that half of the children carry mutations in extracellular domain (ECD). KIT-ECD versus IT-PTD-mutants were introduced into rodent Ba/F3, EML, Rat2 and human TF1 cells to investigate their biological effect. ECD- and PTD-mutants also displayed distinct whole-genome transcriptional profiles in EML cells. We observed differences in their signaling properties: they both activated STAT pathways, whereas AKT pathway was only activated by ECD-mutants. Consistently, AKT inhibitor suppressed ECD-mutant-dependent proliferation, clonogenicity and erythroid differentiation. Expression of myristoylated AKT restored erythroid differentiation in EMLPTD cells, suggesting the differential role of AKT in those mutants. Overall, our study implied different pathogenesis of pediatric versus adult mastocytosis, which might explain their diverse phenotypes. Each EML cell line (Del417-419insY mutant and D816V mutant) was cultured with or without 250 ng/mL SCF for 48h. Gene expression profile analysis was performed using whole-genome microarrays. RNA expression profiling of cell lines was done with Affymetrix M430 2.0 mouse oligonucleotide microarrays containing 45.101 probe sets, representing 21.408 transcripts and variants including 17.482 well-characterized mouse genes. Preparation of cRNA, hybridizations, washes, detection and quantification were done as recommended by the supplier. For each sample, synthesis of the first-strand cDNA was done from 3 μg total RNA by T7-oligo(dT) priming, followed by second-strand cDNA synthesis. After purification, in vitro transcription associated with amplification generated cRNA-containing biotinylated pseudouridine. Biotinylated cRNA was purified, quantified and chemically fragmented (95°C for 35 min), then hybridized to microarrays in 200 μL hybridization buffer at 45°C for 16 h. Automated washes and staining with streptavidin-phycoerythrin were done as recommended. Signal amplification was done by biotinylated antistreptavidin antibody with goat-IgG blocking antibody. Scanning was done with Affymetrix GeneArray scanner and quantification with Affymetrix GCOS software.
