Invadopodia-mediated ECM degradation is enhanced in the G1 phase of the cell cycle.

ABSTRACT: The process of tumor cell invasion and metastasis includes assembly of invadopodia, protrusions capable of degrading the extracellular matrix (ECM). The effect of cell cycle progression on invadopodia has not been elucidated. In this study, by using invadopodia and cell cycle fluorescent markers, we show in 2D and 3D cultures, as well as in vivo, that breast carcinoma cells assemble invadopodia and invade into the surrounding ECM preferentially during the G1 phase. The expression (MT1-MMP, also known as MMP14, and cortactin) and localization (Tks5; also known as SH3PXD2A) of invadopodia components are elevated in G1 phase, and cells synchronized in G1 phase exhibit significantly higher ECM degradation compared to the cells synchronized in S phase. The cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor (CKI) p27kip1 (also known as CDKN1B) localizes to the sites of invadopodia assembly. Overexpression and stable knockdown of p27kip1 lead to contrasting effects on invadopodia turnover and ECM degradation. Taken together, these findings suggest that expression of invadopodia components, as well as invadopodia function, are linked to cell cycle progression, and that invadopodia are controlled by cell cycle regulators. Our results caution that this coordination between invasion and cell cycle must be considered when designing effective chemotherapies.

Project description:Focal degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM) is the first step in the invasion of cancer cells. MT1-MMP is a potent membrane proteinase employed by aggressive cancer cells. In our previous study, we reported that MT1-MMP was preferentially located at membrane protrusions called invadopodia, where MT1-MMP underwent quick turnover. Our computer simulation and experiments showed that this quick turnover was essential for the degradation of ECM at invadopodia (Hoshino, D., et al., (2012) PLoS Comp. Biol., 8: e1002479). Here we report on characterization and analysis of the ECM-degrading activity of MT1-MMP, aiming at elucidating a possible reason for its repetitive insertion in the ECM degradation. First, in our computational model, we found a very narrow transient peak in the activity of MT1-MMP followed by steady state activity. This transient activity was due to the inhibition by TIMP-2, and the steady state activity of MT1-MMP decreased dramatically at higher TIMP-2 concentrations. Second, we evaluated the role of the narrow transient activity in the ECM degradation. When the transient activity was forcibly suppressed in computer simulations, the ECM degradation was heavily suppressed, indicating the essential role of this transient peak in the ECM degradation. Third, we compared continuous and pulsatile turnover of MT1-MMP in the ECM degradation at invadopodia. The pulsatile insertion showed basically consistent results with the continuous insertion in the ECM degradation, and the ECM degrading efficacy depended heavily on the transient activity of MT1-MMP in both models. Unexpectedly, however, low-frequency/high-concentration insertion of MT1-MMP was more effective in ECM degradation than high-frequency/low-concentration pulsatile insertion even if the time-averaged amount of inserted MT1-MMP was the same. The present analysis and characterization of ECM degradation by MT1-MMP together with our previous report indicate a dynamic nature of MT1-MMP at invadopodia and the importance of its transient peak in the degradation of the ECM.

Project description:Invadopodia are membrane protrusions dynamically assembled by invasive cancer cells in contact with the extracellular matrix (ECM). Invadopodia are enriched by the structural proteins actin and cortactin as well as metalloproteases such as MT1-MMP, whose function is to degrade the surrounding ECM. During metastasis, invadopodia are necessary for cancer cell intravasation and extravasation. Although signaling pathways involved in the assembly and function of invadopodia are well studied, few studies address invadopodia dynamics and how the cell-ECM interactions contribute to cell invasion. Using iterative analysis based on time-lapse microscopy and mathematical modeling of invasive cancer cells, we found that cells oscillate between invadopodia presence and cell stasis-termed the "invadopodia state"-and invadopodia absence during cell translocation-termed the "migration state." Our data suggest that ?1-integrin-ECM binding and ECM cross-linking control the duration of each of the two states. By changing the concentration of cross-linkers in two-dimensional and three-dimensional cultures, we generate an ECM in which 0-0.92 of total lysine residues are cross-linked. Using an ECM with a range of cross-linking degrees, we demonstrate that the dynamics of invadopodia-related functions have a biphasic relationship to ECM cross-linking. At intermediate levels of ECM cross-linking (0.39), cells exhibit rapid invadopodia protrusion-retraction cycles and rapid calcium spikes, which lead to more frequent MT1-MMP delivery, causing maximal invadopodia-mediated ECM degradation. In contrast, both extremely high or low levels of cross-linking lead to slower invadopodia-related dynamics and lower ECM degradation. Additionally, ?1-integrin inhibition modifies the dynamics of invadopodia-related functions as well as the length of time cells spend in either of the states. Collectively, these data suggest that ?1-integrin-ECM binding nonlinearly translates small physical differences in the extracellular environment to differences in the dynamics of cancer cell behaviors. Understanding the conditions under which invadopodia can be reduced by subtle environment-targeting treatments may lead to combination therapies for preventing metastatic spread.
