Tumor and Stem Cell Biology Secreted and Membrane-Bound Isoforms of Protease ADAM9 Have Opposing Effects on Breast Cancer Cell Migration Jessica L. Fry and Alex Toker Abstract Tumor cell migration is mediated by cell-autonomous signaling mechanisms as well as paracrine and auto- crine factors secreted by activated stromal cells in the tumor microenvironment. Like other members of the ADAM (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase) family, the integrin-binding metalloproteinase ADAM9 modulates cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions as well as ectodomain shedding of cell surface receptors and ligands, thereby modifying intracellular and extracellular signaling. ADAM9 transcripts are alternatively spliced to ex- press a transmembrane protein (ADAM9-L) and a secreted variant (ADAM9-S). In this study, we show that ADAM9-S promotes breast cancer cell migration in a manner requiring its metalloproteinase activity, whereas ADAM9-L suppresses cell migration independent of its metalloproteinase activity. Suppression of migration by ADAM9-L requires a functional disintegrin domain and integrin binding. Expression analysis revealed that both ADAM9 isoforms are expressed in breast cancer cell lines and tissues. Therefore, relative levels of membrane-tethered and secreted variants of ADAM9 are a key determinant in manifestation of aggressive migratory phenotypes associated with breast cancer progression. Cancer Res; 70(20); OF112. ©2010 AACR. Introduction One of the hallmarks of advanced breast cancer is the abil- ity of the tumor cells to lose their epithelial phenotype, disen- gage from neighboring cells, degrade the basement membrane, and invade surrounding tissues, ultimately metastasizing to dis- tant organs. The interactions between the tumor and its stromal microenvironment are a key determinant in breast cancer pro- gression from carcinoma in situ to advanced invasive and metastatic carcinoma. Tumor cells proteolyze the basement membrane and stroma to invade the vasculature, and also alter stromal signals to stimulate angiogenesis and alternately re- lease and tether to the extracellular matrix (ECM) to allow for efficient migration. Tumor cells also release growth factors and chemokines that alter the stroma, inducing inflammation, angiogenesis, and mechanisms of tissue repair (1, 2). Proteases play a major signaling role at the tumor-stromal boundary. Enzymes comprising the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family proteolyze basement membrane and function in promigratory signaling mechanisms. Proteolysis by MMPs exposes cryptic sites in ECM constituents such as laminin-5 and collagen IV that in turn promote tumor cell migration (3, 4). Proteolysis of the basement membrane also releases ECM-bound growth factors such as insulin and fibroblast growth factor (5, 6). MMPs proteolytically cleave and release the ectodomains of multiple signaling molecules from the cell membrane in a process known as membrane shedding (7). Shed- ding of substrates such as transforming growth factor-β (8) and tumor necrosis factor-α (9) activates signaling pathways that promote cell migration and survival. The ADAM (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase) family of proteases has functional similarity to the MMPs in their zinc-binding metalloprotei- nase domains, and is also referred to as the metalloproteinase, disintegrin, cysteine-rich (MDC) family. ADAMs control base- ment membrane proteolysis and shedding of proteins from the cell membrane. Comprising 40 isoforms, the ADAM family of proteases also contains an integrin-binding disintegrin do- main. ADAMs function in cell adhesion through their cysteine- rich domains that bind to syndecans (10) and fibronectin (11). The Src homology-3 (SH3)binding domain in the cytoplasmic regions of some ADAMs mediates signaling by activation of Src and Grb proteins (12). Recent studies point to a functional importance for some ADAM family members in cancer. ADAM12 is expressed in carcinoma and promotes breast can- cer progression by inducing the apoptosis of surrounding stro- mal cells (13). Consequently, ADAM12 protein levels correlate with advanced breast cancer (14, 15). In contrast, the disintegrin domain of ADAM15 inhibits angiogenesis and tumor growth (16). Moreover, ADAM15 expression decreases integrin-mediated ovarian cancer cell adhesion and motility (17). ADAM9, also known as MDC9 (metalloproteinase/disintegrin/ cysteine-rich protein 9), MCMP (myeloma cell metalloprotei- nase), and meltrin-γ, comprises a subgroup of ADAMs that also contains ADAM12 and ADAM15 (18). The ADAM9 metallo- proteinase activity cleaves heparin-binding epidermal growth factor (EGF; ref. 19), which binds activates EGF receptor to promote tumor growth and angiogenesis (20).

In contrast to the effectression of mADAM9-L, the increase in migration in-by ADAM9 silencing is not rescued by expression of9-S that is refractory to silencing, as the shRNA usedM9shRNA.1) targets the 3′ untranslated region. In-expression of ADAM9-S leads to a further increase inigratory phenotype that is additive to ADAM9 shRNADAM9-S. As expected, this additive effect is not recap-d by expression of the ADAM9-S protease-inactive EAt (Fig. 3C). Therefore, ADAM9-S does not phenocopyigration suppression function of ADAM9-L, and more-he implication from these results is that suppressiongration is the dominant role of ADAM9 in breastr cells.

ional role of ADAM9-L domains in suppressionl migrationdata thus far show that ADAM9-S is an enhancer of celltion, whereas ADAM9-L is a suppressor of migration.Weetermined the contribution of the ADAM9-L functionalns in the suppression of migration. We generated muta-r deletions in the metalloproteinase (ADAM9L.EA), dis-in (ADAM9L.Δdis), and cytoplasmic (ADAM9L.Δcyt)ns (Fig. 4A). Again the murine ADAM9-L allele was usederate these mutations, as it is refractory to silencing inbreast cancer cells. Wild-type and mutant mADAM9-Lwere introduced into BT549 cells after silencing with9 shRNA. As already observed, expression of the wild-DAM9-L allele rescued the phenotype of increased mi-n on ADAM9 silencing (Fig. 4B). This was also observedexpressing the metalloproteinase-deficient ADAM9L.EAt, indicating that the proteolytic activity of ADAM9-L issable for the suppression of migration. In contrast, thererescue of increased migration with the cytoplasmic do-eletionmutant (ADAM9L.Δcyt), showing that localizationwnstream signaling mediated by the ADAM9-L cytoplas-main is required for suppression of cellmigration (Fig. 4C).address the role of the ADAM9-L disintegrin domaintegrin-binding activity, point mutations in the ECDas well as whole deletions in the integrin-binding do-were generated.
