LAPTM4B-35 promotes cancer cell migration via stimulating integrin beta1 recycling and focal adhesion dynamics.

ABSTRACT: Metastasis is the main cause of cancer patients' death despite tremendous efforts invested in developing the related molecular mechanisms. During cancer cell migration, cells undergo dynamic regulation of filopodia, focal adhesion, and endosome trafficking. Cdc42 is imperative for maintaining cell morphology and filopodia, regulating cell movement. Integrin beta1 activates on the endosome, the majority of which distributes itself on the plasma membrane, indicating that endocytic trafficking is essential for this activity. In cancers, high expression of lysosome-associated protein transmembrane 4B (LAPTM4B) is associated with poor prognosis. LAPTM4B-35 has been reported as displaying plasma membrane distribution and being associated with cancer cell migration. However, the detailed mechanism of its isoform-specific distribution and whether it relates to cell migration remain unknown. Here, we first report and quantify the filopodia localization of LAPTM4B-35: mechanically, that specific interaction with Cdc42 promoted its localization to the filopodia. Furthermore, our data show that LAPTM4B-35 stabilized filopodia and regulated integrin beta1 recycling via interaction and cotrafficking on the endosome. In our zebrafish xenograft model, LAPTM4B-35 stimulated the formation and dynamics of focal adhesion, further promoting cancer cell dissemination, whereas in skin cancer patients, LAPTM4B level correlated with poor prognosis. In short, this study establishes an insight into the mechanism of LAPTM4B-35 filopodia distribution, as well as into its biological effects and its clinical significance, providing a novel target for cancer therapeutics development.

An IFT20 mechanotrafficking axis is required for integrin recycling, focal adhesion dynamics, and polarized cell migration.

Project description:Directional cell migration drives embryonic development, cancer metastasis, and tissue repair and regeneration. Here, we examine the role of intraflagellar transport (IFT) 20 (Ift20) during polarized migration of epidermal cells. IFT20 is implicated in regulating cell migration independently of the primary cilium, but how IFT proteins integrate with the cell migration machinery is poorly understood. We show that genetic ablation of IFT20 in vitro slows keratinocyte migration during wound healing. We find that this phenotype is independent of the primary cilium and instead can be attributed to alterations in integrin-mediated mechanotransduction and focal adhesion (FA) dynamics. Loss of Ift20 resulted in smaller and less numerous FAs and reduced the levels of activated FA kinase. Studies of FA dynamics during microtubule-induced FA turnover demonstrated that Ift20 loss specifically impaired the reformation, but not the disassembly, of FAs. In the absence of Ift20 function, β1 integrins endocytosed during FA disassembly are not transferred out of Rab5 (+) endosomes. This defective transit from the early endosome disrupts eventual recycling of β1 integrins back to the cell surface, resulting in defective FA reformation. In vivo, conditional ablation of Ift20 in hair follicle stem cells (HF-SCs) similarly impairs their ability to invade and migrate during epidermal wound healing. Using explant studies, lineage tracing, and clonal analysis, we demonstrate that Ift20 is required for HF-SC migration and their contribution to epidermal regeneration. This work identifies a new Ift20 mechanotrafficking mechanism required for polarized cell migration and stem cell-driven tissue repair.

Plakophilin 2 affects cell migration by modulating focal adhesion dynamics and integrin protein expression.

Project description:Plakophilin 2 (PKP2), a desmosome component, modulates the activity and localization of the small GTPase RhoA at sites of cell-cell contact. PKP2 regulates cortical actin rearrangement during junction formation, and its loss is accompanied by an increase in actin stress fibers. We hypothesized that PKP2 may regulate focal adhesion dynamics and cell migration. Here we show that PKP2-deficient cells bind efficiently to the extracellular matrix, but upon spreading display total cell areas ≈ 30% smaller than control cells. Focal adhesions in PKP2-deficient cells are ≈ 2 × larger and more stable than in control cells, and vinculin displays an increased time for fluorescence recovery after photobleaching. Furthermore, β4 and β1 integrin protein and mRNA expression is elevated in PKP2-silenced cells. Normal focal adhesion phenotypes can be restored in PKP2-null cells by dampening the RhoA pathway or silencing β1 integrin. However, integrin expression levels are not restored by RhoA signaling inhibition. These data uncover a potential role for PKP2 upstream of β1 integrin and RhoA in integrating cell-cell and cell-substrate contact signaling in basal keratinocytes necessary for the morphogenesis, homeostasis, and reepithelialization of the stratified epidermis.

Recycling machinery of integrin coupled with focal adhesion turnover via RAB11-UNC13D-FAK axis for migration of pancreatic cancer cells.

Project description:BackgroundRecycling of integrin via endosomal vesicles is critical for the migration of cancer cells, which leads to the metastasis of pancreatic cancer and devastating cancer-related death. So, new diagnostic and therapeutic molecules which target the recycling of endosomal vesicles need to be developed.MethodsPublic databases including TCGA, ICGC, GSE21501, GSE28735, and GENT are analyzed to derive diagnostic and therapeutic targets. To reveal biological roles and underlying mechanisms of molecular targets, various molecular biological experiments were conducted.ResultsFirst, we identified UNC13D's overexpression in patients with pancreatic cancer (n = 824) and its prognostic significance and high hazard ratio (HR) in four independent pancreatic cancer cohorts (TCGA, n = 178, p = 0.014, HR = 3.629; ICGC, n = 91, p = 0.000, HR = 4.362; GSE21501, n = 102, p = 0.002, HR = 2.339; GSE28735, n = 45, p = 0.022, HR = 2.681). Additionally, its expression is associated with the clinicopathological progression of pancreatic cancer. Further biological studies have shown that UNC13D regulates the migration of pancreatic cancer cells by coupling the exocytosis of recycling endosomes with focal adhesion turnover via the regulation of FAK phosphorylation. Immunoprecipitation and immunocytochemistry showed the formation of the RAB11-UNC13D-FAK axis in endosomes during integrin recycling. We observed that UNC13D directly interacted with the FERM domain of FAK and regulated FAK phosphorylation in a calcium-dependent manner. Finally, we found co-expression of UNC13D and FAK showed the poorest survival (TCGA, p = 0.000; ICGC, p = 0.036; GSE28735, p = 0.006).ConclusionsWe highlight that UNC13D, a novel prognostic factor, promotes pancreatic cancer progression by coupling integrin recycling with focal adhesion turnover via the RAB11-UNC13D-FAK axis for the migration of pancreatic cancer cells.

RhoB regulates cell migration through altered focal adhesion dynamics.

Project description:The Rho GTPase RhoB has been shown to affect cell migration, but how it does this is not clear. Here we show that cells depleted of RhoB by RNAi are rounded and have defects in Rac-mediated spreading and lamellipodium extension, although they have active membrane ruffling around the periphery. Depletion of the exchange factor GEF-H1 induces a similar phenotype. RhoB-depleted cells migrate faster, but less persistently in a chemotactic gradient, and frequently round up during migration. RhoB-depleted cells have similar numbers of focal adhesions to control cells during spreading and migration, but show more diffuse and patchy contact with the substratum. They have lower levels of surface β1 integrin, and β1 integrin activity is reduced in actin-rich protrusions. We propose that RhoB contributes to directional cell migration by regulating β1 integrin surface levels and activity, thereby stabilizing lamellipodial protrusions.

Integrin beta1-focal adhesion kinase signaling directs the proliferation of metastatic cancer cells disseminated in the lungs.

Project description:The development of metastases is an extended and inefficient process involving multiple steps. The last of these involves the growth of micrometastases into macroscopic tumors. We show here that intravenously injected, nonmetastatic cancer cells cease proliferating after extravasating into the parenchyma of the lungs; this response is attributable to the cells inability to trigger adhesion-related signaling events when they are scattered sparsely within the extracellular matrix (ECM) of the parenchyma. We recapitulate this situation by culturing these nonmetastatic cells at low seeding density in ECM-derived gels in vitro, in which they undergo cell-cycle arrest resulting, in part, from insufficient activation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK). Metastatic cancer cells, in contrast, show sufficient FAK activation to enable their proliferation within ECM gels in vitro and continue cell-cycle progression within the lung parenchyma in vivo. Activation of FAK in these metastatic cells depends on expression of the beta(1) subunit of integrins, and proliferation of these cells after extravasation in the lungs is diminished by knocking down the expression of either FAK or integrin beta(1). These results demonstrate the critical role of integrin beta(1)-FAK signaling axis in controlling the initial proliferation of micrometastatic cancer cells disseminated in the lungs.

Integrin-specific signaling pathways controlling focal adhesion formation and cell migration.

Project description:The fibronectin (FN)-binding integrins alpha4beta1 and alpha5beta1 confer different cell adhesive properties, particularly with respect to focal adhesion formation and migration. After analyses of alpha4+/alpha5+ A375-SM melanoma cell adhesion to fragments of FN that interact selectively with alpha4beta1 and alpha5beta1, we now report two differences in the signals transduced by each receptor that underpin their specific adhesive properties. First, alpha5beta1 and alpha4beta1 have a differential requirement for cell surface proteoglycan engagement for focal adhesion formation and migration; alpha5beta1 requires a proteoglycan coreceptor (syndecan-4), and alpha4beta1 does not. Second, adhesion via alpha5beta1 caused an eightfold increase in protein kinase Calpha (PKCalpha) activation, but only basal PKCalpha activity was observed after adhesion via alpha4beta1. Pharmacological inhibition of PKCalpha and transient expression of dominant-negative PKCalpha, but not dominant-negative PKCdelta or PKCzeta constructs, suppressed focal adhesion formation and cell migration mediated by alpha5beta1, but had no effect on alpha4beta1. These findings demonstrate that different integrins can signal to induce focal adhesion formation and migration by different mechanisms, and they identify PKCalpha signaling as central to the functional differences between alpha4beta1 and alpha5beta1.

Differential effects of cytohesins 2 and 3 on beta1 integrin recycling.

Project description:ADP-ribosylation actor 6 (ARF6) regulates the endocytosis and recycling of a variety of proteins and also promotes peripheral actin rearrangements and cell motility. ARF6 is activated by a large number of guanine nucleotide exchange factors, which likely regulate ARF6 at different locations and during different processes. In this study we investigate the roles of the cytohesin ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF)-guanine nucleotide exchange factors during the recycling of integrin beta1. Intriguingly, we find that knockdown and overexpression of ARNO/cytohesin 2 and GRP1/cytohesin 3 have opposing effects on cell adhesion and spreading on fibronectin and on cell migration. We find that ARNO/cytohesin 2 is required for integrin beta1 recycling, whereas GRP1/cytohesin 3 is dispensable for this process. This is the first demonstration of unique roles for these proteins.

RITA modulates cell migration and invasion by affecting focal adhesion dynamics.

Project description:RITA, the RBP-J interacting and tubulin-associated protein, has been reported to be related to tumor development, but the underlying mechanisms are not understood. Since RITA interacts with tubulin and coats microtubules of the cytoskeleton, we hypothesized that it is involved in cell motility. We show here that depletion of RITA reduces cell migration and invasion of diverse cancer cell lines and mouse embryonic fibroblasts. Cells depleted of RITA display stable focal adhesions (FA) with elevated active integrin, phosphorylated focal adhesion kinase, and paxillin. This is accompanied by enlarged size and disturbed turnover of FA. These cells also demonstrate increased polymerized tubulin. Interestingly, RITA is precipitated with the lipoma-preferred partner (LPP), which is critical in actin cytoskeleton remodeling and cell migration. Suppression of RITA results in reduced LPP and α-actinin at FA leading to compromised focal adhesion turnover and actin dynamics. This study identifies RITA as a novel crucial player in cell migration and invasion by affecting the turnover of FA through its interference with the dynamics of actin filaments and microtubules. Its deregulation may contribute to malignant progression.

The Sall2 transcription factor promotes cell migration regulating focal adhesion turnover and integrin β1 expression.

Project description:SALL2/Sall2 is a transcription factor associated with development, neuronal differentiation, and cancer. Interestingly, SALL2/Sall2 deficiency leads to failure of the optic fissure closure and neurite outgrowth, suggesting a positive role for SALL2/Sall2 in cell migration. However, in some cancer cells, SALL2 deficiency is associated with increased cell migration. To further investigate the role of Sall2 in the cell migration process, we used immortalized Sall2 knockout (Sall2 -/- ) and Sall2 wild-type (Sall2 +/+ ) mouse embryonic fibroblasts (iMEFs). Our results indicated that Sall2 positively regulates cell migration, promoting cell detachment and focal adhesions turnover. Sall2 deficiency decreased cell motility and altered focal adhesion dynamics. Accordingly, restoring Sall2 expression in the Sall2 -/- iMEFs by using a doxycycline-inducible Tet-On system recovered cell migratory capabilities and focal adhesion dynamics. In addition, Sall2 promoted the autophosphorylation of Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK) at Y397 and increased integrin β1 mRNA and its protein expression at the cell surface. We demonstrated that SALL2 increases ITGB1 promoter activity and binds to conserved SALL2-binding sites at the proximal region of the ITGB1 promoter, validated by ChIP experiments. Furthermore, the overexpression of integrin β1 or its blockade generates a cell migration phenotype similar to that of Sall2 +/+ or Sall2 -/- cells, respectively. Altogether, our data showed that Sall2 promotes cell migration by modulating focal adhesion dynamics, and this phenotype is associated with SALL2/Sall2-transcriptional regulation of integrin β1 expression and FAK autophosphorylation. Since deregulation of cell migration promotes congenital abnormalities, tumor formation, and spread to other tissues, our findings suggest that the SALL2/Sall2-integrin β1 axis could be relevant for those processes.

MIEN1 drives breast tumor cell migration by regulating cytoskeletal-focal adhesion dynamics.

Project description:Migration and invasion enhancer 1 (MIEN1) is an important regulator of cell migration and invasion. MIEN1 overexpression represents an oncogenic event that promotes tumor cell dissemination and metastasis. The underlying mechanism by which MIEN1 regulates migration and invasion has yet to be deciphered. Here, we demonstrate that MIEN1 acts as a cytoskeletal-signaling adapter protein to drive breast cancer cell migration. MIEN1 localization is concentrated underneath the actin-enriched protrusive structures of the migrating breast cancer cells. Depletion of MIEN1 led to the loss of actin-protrusive structures whereas the over-expression of MIEN1 resulted in rich and thick membrane extensions. Knockdown of MIEN1 also decreased the cell-substratum adhesion, suggesting a role for MIEN1 in actin cytoskeletal dynamics. Our results show that MIEN1 supports the transition of G-actin to F-actin polymerization and stabilizes F-actin polymers. Additionally, MIEN1 promotes cellular adhesion and actin dynamics by inducing phosphorylation of FAK at Tyr-925 and reducing phosphorylation of cofilin at Ser-3, which results in breast cancer cell migration. Collectively, our data show that MIEN1 plays an essential role in maintaining the plasticity of the dynamic membrane-associated actin cytoskeleton, which leads to an increase in cell motility. Hence, targeting MIEN1 might represent a promising means to prevent breast tumor metastasis.
