Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1) is a widely secreted protein that regulates cell motility, proliferation, and apoptosis. Although it is recognized that TIMP-1-tetraspanin CD63 regulates epithelial cell apoptosis and proliferation, how TIMP-1 controls cell motility is not well understood. In this study, we identify tetraspanin CD82 (also called KAI1) as a component of the promiscuous TIMP-1 interacting protein complex on cell surface of human pancreatic adenocarcinoma cells. CD82 directly binds to TIMP-1 N-terminal region through its large extracellular loop and co-localizes with TIMP-1 in both cancer cell lines and clinical samples. Moreover, CD82 facilitates membrane-bound TIMP-1 endocytosis, which significantly contributes to the anti-migration effect of TIMP-1. CD82 silencing partially eliminates these functions. TIMP-1 and CD82 expression status in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) might demonstrate future usefulness as a differentiation marker and give us new insight into tumorigenic metastatic potential.
金属蛋白酶组织抑制剂-1(TIMP-1)是一种广泛分泌的蛋白质,可调节细胞运动、增殖和凋亡。尽管人们认识到TIMP-1-四跨膜蛋白CD63可调节上皮细胞凋亡和增殖,但TIMP-1如何控制细胞运动尚不清楚。在本研究中,我们确定四跨膜蛋白CD82(也称为KAI1)是人类胰腺腺癌细胞表面混杂的TIMP-1相互作用蛋白复合物的一个组成部分。CD82通过其大的细胞外环直接与TIMP-1的N端区域结合,并在癌细胞系和临床样本中与TIMP-1共定位。此外,CD82促进膜结合的TIMP-1内吞作用,这对TIMP-1的抗迁移作用有显著贡献。CD82沉默可部分消除这些功能。胰腺导管腺癌(PDAC)患者中TIMP-1和CD82的表达状态可能作为一种分化标志物显示出未来的应用价值,并为我们提供有关肿瘤发生转移潜能的新见解。
