”Cell Adhesion in Tumor Growth, Progression and Angiogenesis" Richard Hynes HHMI/MIT MGH Tumor Microcirculation Course Cambridge, MA June 4, 2003 GROWTH of PRIMARY TUMOR and INITIAL INVASION Loss of cell adhesion Further loss of cell adhesion Angiogenesis -also Lymphangiogenesis (not shown) Gain of cell migration Angiogenesis and Lymphangiogenesis • Essential for growth of primary tumor (and later of metastases) • Involves extensive migration and adhesion of endothelial cells and pericytes • Involves organization of basement membranes Metastatic Spread • Intravasation • Survival in circulation • Arrest at a distant site - selectivity?? • Intravascular Proliferation ? • Extravasation • Survival and proliferation at the new site • Angiogenesis again • All of these involve cell adhesion Cell-Cell and Cell-Matrix Adhesion U CELL-CELL ADHESION e.g., CADHERINS BASEMENT MEMBRANE (MATRIX) CELL-MATRIX ADHESION e.g., INTEGRINS Cell-cell adhesion receptors Cell-matrix adhesion receptors CELL-MATRIX ADHESION INTEGRINS KQAGDV S S S S IIb S S 5 6 RGD FIBRINOGEN FIBRONECTIN LAMININ Connections between extracellular matrix (ECM) and the actin cytoskeleton PLAN VIEW ACTIN ECM SIDE VIEW POINTS of ATTACHMENT The Molecular Linkage Between Actin and ECM via Integrins SIGNALLING EVENTS ACTIN FILAMENTS TALI N PAXILLIN IN S N E T VIN FAK A src A PKC CDK MEMBRANE INTEGRIN MATRIX RGD PROTEOGLYCAN Signals from Integrins Controlling Cell Behavior Functions of Cell Adhesion Receptors • Mediate adhesion to adjacent cells and to ECM • Control cell shape, polarity and migration • Control cell proliferation, survival, gene expression and differentiation How do these functions impact tumor progression? MATRIX/INTEGRINS and GROWTH CONTROL • Integrins regulate cyclin D synthesis • Integrins regulate PIP2 synthesis • Both these effects synergize with stimulation by soluble growth factors • In fact, they are necessary for growth factors to promote growth - cells will not grow with growth factors alone - they need matrix attachment through integrins. • This is “anchorage dependence of growth” MATRIX/INTEGRINS and CELL SURVIVAL • Integrins regulate PI3 kinase and Akt, acting through FAK • This pathway suppresses apoptosis • So extracellular matrix, acting via integrins provides local survival signals • i.e., cells must be attached to the correct matrix in order to survive. • This is “anchorage dependence of survival” ANCHORAGE DEPENDENCE • Most normal cells are dependent on anchorage for survival and proliferation • Tumor cells are not, because oncogenes provide the signals normally provided by integrins and other adhesion receptors • So tumor cells are less dependent on being attached in the correct place Signals from Integrins Replaced by Oncogenes Angiogenesis Necessary for growth and survival of both primary and metastatic tumors v Integrins (v and v) in Angiogenesis • upregulated on (many) angiogenic vessels • Inhibitors - some antibodies (LM609) and RGDbased peptides and peptidomimetics block angiogenesis and induce apoptosis in various model systems • MODEL:- v & vintegrins are proangiogenic and potential targets for antiangiogenesis therapy Predictions from this model • Mice lacking v integrins should show defects in angiogenesis embryonic lethal but lacks a dozen integrins v All three are viable and fertile either as single KOs or as double KOs v and 8 KOs show extensive angiogenesis, although they are not viable • So the simple predictions are not met Conclusions from integrin knockouts • embryos of v-null mice generally show normal vascular development • the selective vascular defects in the brain are of neural/glial origin • the KO mouse has similar defects • in any event, they are not due to absence of vand/or v ( vand/or v are NO ESSENTIAL for normal vascular development What about tumor angiogenesis? • Transplantable tumors Human: • LS180: colon carcinoma • A375SM: melanoma Mouse: • CMT19T: lung carcinoma • B16FO: melanoma • Endogenous tumors • RIPTAg • MMTV-neu Tumors grown in -null or -null mice are BIGGER than controls B16F0 B16F0 -/- WT CMT19T -/- WT CMT19T Tumors grown in -null or -null mice are BIGGER than controls B16F0 p< 0.02 CMT19T p< 0.01 A375SM p< 0.02 Vessels in Tumors (A375M) Rag-null Rag-null/3-null PECAM-1 NG-2 Tumors grown in -null or -null mice have MORE VESSELS than controls B16F0 tumor Normal skin Tumor Growth and Angiogenesis WT KO DKO B16 melanoma + ++ ++ CMT19T lung carcinoma + ++ ++ LS180 adenocarcinoma + ++ ++ A375M melanoma + ++ ++ C57BL/6 Rag2 So:- tumor growth and angiogenesis are NOT dependent on v or v. In fact, these integrins tend to inhibit them. HOW? 51 Integrin and Fibronectin in Angiogenesis • both are upregulated on angiogenic vessels • mice lacking 51 die with vascular defects • mice lacking die with vascular defects • antibodies to either inhibit angiogenesis • peptides blocking their interaction inhibit angiogenesis • that is - genetics and inhibitor studies conform here • Fibronectin and 51 integrin are proangiogenic • They appear good targets for antiangiogenesis A new way of thinking about v integrins in angiogenesis • The original model of their being proangiogenic does not explain all the data • Perhaps they are actually antiangiogenic or negative regulators some or all the time • The negative regulation model does a better, although not a perfect job of explaining the data Possible Negative Regulation by v Integrins Transdominant Inhibition ENDOTHELIAL CELL 11 21 COLLAGENS LAMININS v3 v5 FIBRONECTIN VITRONECTIN FIBRINOGEN OSTEOPONTIN von WILLEBRAND FACTOR THROMBOSPONDIN 51 FIBRONECTIN SELECTIVE INHIBITION Based on data showing cross- inhibition by ligation of different integrins on the same cell. Works best when the inhibitory integrin is at a high level Like v and v ! Agonists orAntagonists? • That often depends on the assay • The same agent can act as an agonist when presented on a substrate and an antagonist when presented in solution • An agent detected as an antagonist in an adhesion assay can be an agonist with respect to signaling Design of anti-v integrin drugs • It is not enough just to screen for antagonists of adhesion • Figure out the (positive and negative) functions of v and v • for their ability to stimulate the negative or inhibit the positive pathways - that is, agonists or antagonists LOSS of ADHESION for HOME BASE LOSS of CELL-CELL ADHESION PROTEINS (CADHERINS) CONTRIBUTES to INVASION of COLON and STOMACH CANCERS GAIN of NEW ADHESION GAIN of NEW CELL ADHESION PROTEINS (INTEGRINS ) CONTRIBUTES to INVASION of MALIGNANT MELANOMA Cadherins and Integrins in Tumor Invasion • Cadherins, particularly E-cadherin, are frequently lost from invasive malignant tumors • Integrins are sometimes gained by invasive tumors • This reflects the switch from sessile adherent epithelial cells to migratory, invasive mesenchymal cells • Often called the Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition or EMT CADHERINS EPITHELIALMESENCHYMAL TRANSITION HGF/SF Met KERATINS VIMENTIN FIBRONECTIN Common to development and tumor progression RELEASE of -CATENIN from CADHERINS ENHANCES TRANSCRIPTION wnt frz dsh P GSK3 APC DEGRADATION - wnt + wnt LEF-1 TRANSCRIPTION rac cdc42 IQGAP calmodulin How do Circulating Tumor Cells Arrest?
