Up-regulation of CDHR5 expression promotes malignant phenotype of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT: CDHR5 has been reported to play key roles in carcinogenesis of various cancers, but its roles in pancreatic cancer have not been reported. The present study was designed to investigate its clinical value in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Tissue microarray-based immunohistochemistry was performed to analyse the correlation between CDHR5 expression and clinical and pathological features of PDAC, as well as the CDHR5 expression during tumour progression. Cell function assays were performed to investigate CDHR5's effects on PDAC cells. Moreover, qRT-PCR was applied to investigate the expression of CDHR5 isoforms in PDAC cells. Expression of CDHR5 was higher on the membrane of PDAC cells. This high expression level was associated with shorter overall survival of PDAC patients and was identified as an independent prognostic factor for overall survival by multivariate Cox regression analysis. In addition, expression level of CDHR5 presented an increased trend in the occurrence and progression of PDAC. Cell experiment suggested that CDHR5 could notably promote invasion and migration of PDAC cells. Moreover, analysis of CDHR5 isoforms indicated CDHR5-L was the major isoform expressed in PDAC cell lines. CDHR5 appears to be a promising and novel prognostic factor for PDAC, and its promotion in PDAC metastasis might be ascribed to the isoform CDHR5-L.

Project description:BackgroundPancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most intractable malignancies to overcome clinically due to its insidious onset as well as rapid progression. It is urgent to seek new diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets in order to furthest ameliorate the prognosis of patients with PDAC. V-set and immunoglobulin domain containing 2 (VSIG2) belongs to immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF), which function as coinhibitory molecule to mediate immune evasion of tumors. Nevertheless, the role of VSIG2 in PDAC and related mechanism still keep unclear.MethodsDifferent expression of VSIG2 in PDAC tissues and cells were detected by bioinformatic analysis, immunohistochemistry, real-time quantitative PCR as well as western blotting. CCK-8, colony formation, Transwell assay, and scratch experiment were utilized to assess proliferation, invasion and migration properties of PDAC cells. The relationship of VSIG2 with late endosomal/lysosomal adaptor, MAPK and MTOR activator 2 (LAMTOR2) and mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) was identified using mass spectrometry, co-immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence. GO and KEGG enrichment analysis were performed for further pathway verification using western blotting. Additionally, subcutaneous xenograft tumor model and clinical samples analysis were implemented to further elucidate the oncogenic effect of VSIG2 on PDAC in vivo and clinically.ResultsVSIG2 was highly expressed in PDAC tissues and cells. Overexpression of VSIG2 facilitated the proliferation, invasion and migration abilities of PDAC cells, while VSIG2-inhibition exerted opposite effects. Mechanistically, VSIG2 could simultaneously bind to LAMTOR2 and mTOR, thereby enhancing interaction between two molecules, which resulted in elevated phosphorylation-modificatory activation of mTOR and downstream key molecules. Clinically, up-regulation of VSIG2 was positively associated with advanced stage, overall survival and disease-free survival of PDAC patients.ConclusionsOur study disclosed that VSIG2 was overexpressed in PDAC, which promoted the proliferation, invasion and metastasis. Mechanically, VSIG2 acted as a scaffold to recruit LAMTOR2 and mTOR simultaneously, stabilize the interaction between them, thus enhancing LAMTOR2-mediated mTOR phosphorylated activation. Collectively, VSIG2 could be exploited as a biomarker for diagnosis and prognosis monitor of PDAC in the future, meanwhile, targeting VSIG2 in PDAC management is expected to be a novel strategy.
