Metalloprotease ADAMTS-1 decreases cell migration and invasion modulating the spatiotemporal dynamics of Cdc42 activity.

ABSTRACT: ADAMTSs (A Disintegrin And Metalloproteinase with ThromboSpondin motifs) are secreted proteases dependent on Zn²⁺/Ca²⁺, involved in physiological and pathological processes and are part of the extracellular matrix (ECM). Here, we investigated if ADAMTS-1 is required for invasion and migration of cells and the possible mechanism involved. In order to test ADAMTS-1's role in ovarian cancer cells (CHO, NIH-OVCAR-3 and ES2) and NIH-3 T3 fibroblasts, we modified the levels of ADAMTS-1 and compared those to parental. Cells exposed to ADAMTS-1-enriched medium exhibited a decline in cell migration and invasion when compared to controls with or without a functional metalloproteinase domain. The opposite was observed in cells when ADAMTS-1 was deleted via the CRISPR/Cas9 approach. The decline in ADAMTS-1 levels enhanced the phosphorylated form of Src and FAK. We also evaluated the activities of cellular Rho GTPases from cell lysates using the GLISA® kit. The Cdc42-GTP signal was significantly increased in the CRISPR ADAMTS-1 ES-2 cells. By a Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) biosensor for Cdc42 activity in ES-2 cells we demonstrated that Cdc42 activity was strongly polarized at the leading edge of migrating cells with ADAMTS-1 deletion, compared to the wild type cells. As conclusion, ADAMTS-1 inhibits proliferation, polarization and migration.

Project description:To identify novel proteins that control melanoma development and progression, we integrated high-throughput proteomics, mRNA and miRNAs datasets from isogenic primary (WM115) and metastatic (WM266-4) melanoma cell-lines. We focused on differentially expressed proteins that had non-differential mRNA levels and were putatively targeted by a high number of miRNAs. SNX18, a sub-family member of sorting-nexins that participates in endocytosis and autophagy was down-regulated by 6-fold in WM266-4, and predicted to be targeted by 17 miRNAs. Over-expression of SNX18 in several melanoma cell-lines significantly reduced migration rate, while silencing of SNX18 resulted in the opposite effect. Notably, progression tissue microarrays demonstrated a trend for SNX18 downregulation in early metastasis. Luciferase assays confirmed the direct regulation of SNX18 by multiple miRNAs. Indeed, over-expression of these miRNAs repressed endogenous SNX18 expression at the protein but not mRNA level. Further, protein but not mRNA expression levels correlated with better overall survival as determined in a cohort of 48 metastatic melanoma patients and in the TCGA database. Mechanistically, SNX18-mediated reduced migration coincided with RhoA activation and Cdc42 inactivation. Both play a role, as RhoA inhibitor and constitutively activated Cdc42 mutants abrogated this effect. Moreover, phosphorylation-defective SNX18 mutants (S233A,S233D) migrated faster, with S233A inactivating RhoA and activating Cdc42, while S233D activated both. The downstream phosphorylation of the p38>MAPKAPK2>HSP27 signaling pathway was concordant. Both mutants were more abundant in the plasma membrane. Taken together, phosphorylation of S233 is crucial for SNX18 activation, but de-phosphorylation dynamics, which may occur at the membrane, is required for functional effect. In this study we compared the proteome, transcriptome and miRnome of primary and metastatic melanoma isogenic cell-lines and identified SNX18 as a novel inhibitor of melanoma migration.
