Localization of membrane-type 1 matrix metalloproteinase in caveolae membrane domains.

ABSTRACT: Membrane-type 1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) is a membrane-associated MMP that has been recently reported to have a central role in tumour cell invasion. Here we report that both the native and overexpressed recombinant forms of MT1-MMP are highly enriched in low-density Triton X-100-insoluble membrane domains that contain the caveolar marker protein caveolin 1. Moreover, the MT1-MMP-dependent activation of proMMP-2 induced by concanavalin A and cytochalasin D was correlated with the processing of MT1-MMP to its proteolytically inactive 43 kDa fragment in U-87 glioblastoma and HT-1080 fibrosarcoma tumour cell lines; this processing was also preferentially observed within the caveolar fraction. Interestingly, whereas the expression of caveolin 1 had no effect on the MT1-MMP-dependent activation of proMMP-2, its co-expression with MT1-MMP antagonized the MT1-MMP-increased migratory potential of COS-7 cells. Taken together, our results provide evidence that MT1-MMP is preferentially compartmentalized and proteolytically processed in caveolae of cancer cells. The inhibition of MT1-MMP-dependent cell migration by caveolin 1 also suggests that the localization of MT1-MMP to caveolin-enriched domains might have an important function in the control of its enzymic activity.

Membrane localization of membrane type 1 matrix metalloproteinase by CD44 regulates the activation of pro-matrix metalloproteinase 9 in osteoclasts.

Project description:CD44, MT1-MMP, and MMP9 are implicated in the migration of osteoclast and bone resorption. This study was designed to determine the functional relationship between CD44 and MT1-MMP in the activation of pro-MMP9. We used osteoclasts isolated from wild-type and CD44-null mice. Results showed that MT1-MMP is present in multiple forms with a molecular mass ~63, 55, and 45 kDa in the membrane of wild-type osteoclasts. CD44-null osteoclasts demonstrated a 55 kDa active MT1-MMP form in the membrane and conditioned medium. It failed to activate pro-MMP9 because TIMP2 binds and inhibits this MT1-MMP (~55 kDa) in CD44-null osteoclasts. The role of MT1-MMP in the activation of pro-MMP9, CD44 expression, and migration was confirmed by knockdown of MT1-MMP in wild-type osteoclasts. Although knockdown of MMP9 suppressed osteoclast migration, it had no effects on MT1-MMP activity or CD44 expression. These results suggest that CD44 and MT1-MMP are directly or indirectly involved in the regulation of pro-MMP9 activation. Surface expression of CD44, membrane localization of MT1-MMP, and activation of pro-MMP9 are the necessary sequence of events in osteoclast migration.

mDia1 regulates breast cancer invasion by controlling membrane type 1-matrix metalloproteinase localization.

Project description:Mammalian diaphanous-related formin 1 (mDia1) expression has been linked with progression of malignant cancers in various tissues. However, the precise molecular mechanism underlying mDia1-mediated invasion in cancer cells has not been fully elucidated. In this study, we found that mDia1 is upregulated in invasive breast cancer cells. Knockdown of mDia1 in invasive breast cancer profoundly reduced invasive activity by controlling cellular localization of membrane type 1-matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) through interaction with microtubule tracks. Gene silencing and ectopic expression of the active form of mDia1 showed that mDia1 plays a key role in the intracellular trafficking of MT1-MMP to the plasma membrane through microtubules. We also demonstrated that highly invasive breast cancer cells possessed invasive activity in a 3D culture system, which was significantly reduced upon silencing mDia1 or MT1-MMP. Furthermore, mDia1-deficient cells cultured in 3D matrix showed impaired expression of the cancer stem cell marker genes, CD44 and CD133. Collectively, our findings suggest that regulation of cellular trafficking and microtubule-mediated localization of MT1-MMP by mDia1 is likely important in breast cancer invasion through the expression of cancer stem cell genes.

Activation-coupled membrane-type 1 matrix metalloproteinase membrane trafficking.

Project description:The transmembrane collagenase MT1-MMP (membrane-type 1 matrix metalloproteinase), also known as MMP-14, has a critical function both in normal development and in cancer progression, and is subject to extensive controls at the post-translational level which affect proteinase activity. As zymogen activation is crucial for MT1-MMP activity, an alpha1-PI (alpha1-proteinase inhibitor)-based inhibitor was designed by incorporating the MT1-MMP propeptide cleavage sequence into the alpha1-PI reactive-site loop (designated alpha1-PI(MT1)) and this was compared with wild-type alpha1-PI (alpha1-PI(WT)) and the furin inhibitory mutant alpha1-PI(PDX). Alpha1-PI(MT1) formed an SDS-stable complex with furin and inhibited proMT1-MMP activation. A consequence of the loss of MT1-MMP activity was the activation of proMMP-2 and the inhibition of MT1-MMP-mediated collagen invasion. alpha1-PI(MT1) expression also resulted in the intracellular accumulation of a glycosylated species of proMT1-MMP that was retained in the perinuclear region, leading to significantly decreased cell-surface accumulation of proMT1-MMP. These observations suggest that both the subcellular localization and the activity of MT1-MMP are regulated in a coordinated fashion, such that proMT1-MMP is retained intracellularly until activation of its zymogen, then proMT1-MMP traffics to the cell surface in order to cleave extracellular substrates.

Phosphoramidate-based peptidomimetic inhibitors of membrane type-1 matrix metalloproteinase.

Project description:Membrane-type I matrix metalloproteinases (MT1-MMP) is an enzyme critical to the remodeling and homeostasis of extracellular matrix, and when over expressed it contributes to metastasis and cancer cell progression. Because of its role and implication as a biomarker that is upregulated in various cancers, MT1-MMP has become an attractive target for drug discovery. A small pilot library of peptidomimetics containing a phosphoramidate core as a zinc-binding group was synthesized and tested for inhibitory potency against MT1-MMP. From this library, a novel two residue peptidomimetic scaffold was identified that confers potency against MT1-MMP at submicromolar concentrations. The results of this study confirm that for this scaffold, valine is favored as a P1 residue and leucine in the P1' position. Furthermore, steric tolerance was observed for the N-terminus, thus implicating that a second-generation library could be constructed to extend the scaffold to P2 without concomitant loss of affinity within the MT1-MMP catalytic domain.

Membrane-type 1 matrix metalloproteinase cleaves CD44 and promotes cell migration.

Project description:Migratory cells including invasive tumor cells frequently express CD44, a major receptor for hyaluronan and membrane-type 1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) that degrades extracellular matrix at the pericellular region. In this study, we demonstrate that MT1-MMP acts as a processing enzyme for CD44H, releasing it into the medium as a soluble 70-kD fragment. Furthermore, this processing event stimulates cell motility; however, expression of either CD44H or MT1-MMP alone did not stimulate cell motility. Coexpression of MT1-MMP and mutant CD44H lacking the MT1-MMP-processing site did not result in shedding and did not promote cell migration, suggesting that the processing of CD44H by MT1-MMP is critical in the migratory stimulation. Moreover, expression of the mutant CD44H inhibited the cell migration promoted by CD44H and MT1-MMP in a dominant-negative manner. The pancreatic tumor cell line, MIA PaCa-2, was found to shed the 70-kD CD44H fragment in a MT1-MMP-dependent manner. Expression of the mutant CD44H in the cells as well as MMP inhibitor treatment effectively inhibited the migration, suggesting that MIA PaCa-2 cells indeed use the CD44H and MT1-MMP as migratory devices. These findings revealed a novel interaction of the two molecules that have each been implicated in tumor cell migration and invasion.

Tetraspanin proteins regulate membrane type-1 matrix metalloproteinase-dependent pericellular proteolysis.

Project description:Membrane type-1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) supports tumor cell invasion through extracellular matrix barriers containing fibrin, collagen, fibronectin, and other proteins. Here, we show that simultaneous knockdown of two or three members of the tetraspanin family (CD9, CD81, and TSPAN12) markedly decreases MT1-MMP proteolytic functions in cancer cells. Affected functions include fibronectin proteolysis, invasion and growth in three-dimensional fibrin and collagen gels, and MMP-2 activation. Tetraspanin proteins (CD9, CD81, and TSPAN2) selectively coimmunoprecipitate and colocalize with MT1-MMP. Although tetraspanins do not affect the initial biosynthesis of MT1-MMP, they do protect the newly synthesized protein from lysosomal degradation and support its delivery to the cell surface. Interfering with MT1-MMP-tetraspanin collaboration may be a useful therapeutic approach to limit cancer cell invasion and metastasis.

Miniaturized antibodies for imaging membrane type-1 matrix metalloproteinase in cancers.

Project description:Since membrane type-1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) plays pivotal roles in tumor progression and metastasis and holds great promise as an early biomarker for malignant tumors, a method of evaluating MT1-MMP expression levels would be valuable for molecular biological and clinical studies. Although we have previously developed a (99m) Tc-labeled anti-MT1-MMP monoclonal IgG ((99m) Tc-MT1-mAb) as an MT1-MMP imaging probe by nuclear medical techniques for this purpose, slow pharmacokinetics were a problem due to its large molecular size. Thus, in this study, our aim was to develop miniaturized antibodies, a single chain antibody fragment (MT1-scFv) and a dimer of two molecules of scFv (MT1-diabody), as the basic structures of MT1-MMP imaging probes followed by in vitro and in vivo evaluation with an (111) In radiolabel. Phage display screening successfully provided MT1-scFv and MT1-diabody, which had sufficiently high affinity for MT1-MMP (KD = 29.8 and 17.1 nM). Both (111) In labeled miniaturized antibodies showed higher uptake in MT1-MMP expressing HT1080 cells than in non-expressing MCF7 cells. An in vivo biodistribution study showed rapid pharmacokinetics for both probes, which exhibited >20-fold higher tumor to blood radioactivity ratios (T/B ratio), an index for in vivo imaging, than (99m) Tc-MT1-mAb 6 h post-administration, and significantly higher tumor accumulation in HT1080 than MCF7 cells. SPECT images showed heterogeneous distribution and ex vivo autoradiographic analysis revealed that the radioactivity distribution profiles in tumors corresponded to MT1-MMP-positive areas. These findings suggest that the newly developed miniaturized antibodies are promising probes for detection of MT1-MMP in cancer cells.

In vivo optical imaging of membrane-type matrix metalloproteinase (MT-MMP) activity.

Project description:Herein we demonstrate for the first time that a fluorogenic probe can be used as an in vivo imaging agent for visualizing activities of membrane-tethered, membrane-type matrix metalloproteinases (MT-MMPs). An MT-MMP fluorogenic probe that consisted of an MT1-MMP (MMP-14) substrate and near-infrared (NIR) dye-quencher pair exhibited rapid, efficient boosts in fluorescence upon cleavage by MT1-MMP in tumor-bearing mice. In particular, unlike similar fluorogenic probes designed to target extracellular, soluble-type MMPs (EC-MMPs)--which can be cleared from the bloodstream after activation--the fluorescence signals activated by MT1-MMP enable clear visualization of MT1-MMP-positive tumors in animal models for up to 24 h. The results indicate that a simple form of a fluorogenic probe that is less effective in EC-MMP imaging is an effective probe for imaging MT-MMP activities in vivo. These findings can be widely applied to designing probes and to applications targeting various membrane-anchored proteases in vivo.

Characterization of the dimerization interface of membrane type 4 (MT4)-matrix metalloproteinase.

Project description:MT4-MMP (MMP17) belongs to a unique subset of membrane type-matrix metalloproteinases that are anchored to the cell surface via a glycosylphosphatidylinositol moiety. However, little is known about its biochemical properties. Here, we report that MT4-MMP is displayed on the cell surface as a mixed population of monomeric, dimeric, and oligomeric forms. Sucrose gradient fractionation demonstrated that these forms of MT4-MMP are all present in lipid rafts. Mutational and computational analyses revealed that Cys(564), which is present within the stem region, mediates MT4-MMP homodimerization by forming a disulfide bond. Substitution of Cys(564) results in a more rapid MT4-MMP turnover, when compared with the wild-type enzyme, consistent with a role for dimerization in protein stability. Expression of MT4-MMP in Madin-Darby canine kidney cells enhanced cell migration and invasion of Matrigel, a process that requires catalytic activity. However, a serine substitution at Cys(564) did not reduce MT4-MMP-stimulated cell invasion of Matrigel suggesting that homodimerization is not required for this process. Deglycosylation studies showed that MT4-MMP is modified by N-glycosylation. Moreover, inhibition of N-glycosylation by tunicamycin diminished the extent of MT4-MMP dimerization suggesting that N-glycans may confer stability to the dimeric form. Taken together, the data presented here provide a new insight into the characteristics of MT4-MMP and highlight the common and distinct properties of the glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored membrane type-matrix metalloproteinases.

Biochemical characterization of the cellular glycosylphosphatidylinositol-linked membrane type-6 matrix metalloproteinase.

Project description:Ubiquitously expressed membrane type-1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP), an archetype member of the MMP family, binds tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2), activates matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), and stimulates cell migration in various cell types. In contrast with MT1-MMP, the structurally similar MT6-MMP associates with the lipid raft compartment of the plasma membrane using a GPI anchor. As a result, MT6-MMP is functionally distinct from MT1-MMP. MT6-MMP is insufficiently characterized as yet. In addition, a number of its biochemical features are both conflicting and controversial. To reassess the biochemical features of MT6-MMP, we have expressed the MT6-MMP construct tagged with a FLAG tag in breast carcinoma MCF-7 and fibrosarcoma HT1080 cells. We then used phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C to release MT6-MMP from the cell surface and characterized the solubilized MT6-MMP fractions. We now are confident that cellular MT6-MMP partially exists in its complex with TIMP-2. Both TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 are capable of inhibiting the proteolytic activity of MT6-MMP. MT6-MMP does not stimulate cell migration. MT6-MMP, however, generates a significant level of gelatinolysis of the fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled gelatin and exhibits an intrinsic, albeit low, ability to activate MMP-2. As a result, it is exceedingly difficult to record the activation of MMP-2 by cellular MT6-MMP. Because of its lipid raft localization, cellular MT6-MMP is inefficiently internalized. MT6-MMP is predominantly localized in the cell-to-cell junctions. Because MT6-MMP has been suggested to play a role in disease, including cancer and autoimmune multiple sclerosis, the identity of its physiologically relevant cleavage targets remains to be determined.
