The invasive phenotype of serous ovarian cancer (SOC) cells is linked to the formation of actin-based protrusions, invadopodia, operating extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation and metastatic spread. Growth factor receptors might cause engagement of integrin-related proteins, like the polarity protein IQ-domain GTPase-activating protein 1 (IQGAP1), to F-actin core needed for invadopodia functions. Here, we investigated whether IQGAP1 forms a signalosome with endothelin-1 (ET-1)/β-arrestin1 (β-arr1) network, as signal-integrating module for adhesion components, cytoskeletal remodelling and ECM degradation. In SOC cells, ET-1 receptor (ET-1R) activation, besides altering IQGAP1 expression and localization, coordinates the binding of IQGAP1 with β-arr1, representing a "hotspot" for ET-1R-induced invasive signalling. We demonstrated that the molecular interaction of IQGAP1 with β-arr1 affects relocalization of focal adhesion components, as vinculin, and cytoskeleton dynamics, through the regulation of invadopodia-related pathways. In particular, ET-1R deactivates Rac1 thereby promoting RhoA/C activation for the correct functions of invasive structures. Silencing of either IQGAP1 or β-arr1, or blocking ET-1R activation with a dual antagonist macitentan, prevents matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity, invadopodial function, transendothelial migration and cell invasion. In vivo, targeting ET-1R/β-arr1 signalling controls the process of SOC metastasis, associated with reduced levels of IQGAP1, as well as other invadopodia effectors, such as vinculin, phospho-cortactin and membrane type 1-MMP. High expression of ETR/β-arr1/IQGAP1 positively correlates with poor prognosis, validating the clinical implication of this signature in early prognosis of SOC. These data establish the ET-1R-driven β-arr1/IQGAP1 interaction as a prerequisite for the dynamic integration of pathways in fostering invadopodia and metastatic process in human SOC.
浆液性卵巢癌 (SOC) 细胞的侵袭表型与肌动蛋白为基础的突起的形成有关,即侵袭伪足,参与细胞外基质 (ECM) 的降解和转移扩散。生长因子受体可能会导致整合素相关蛋白的结合,如极性蛋白 IQ 结构域 GTP 酶激活蛋白 1 (IQGAP1),与侵袭伪足功能所需的 F-肌动蛋白核心结合。在这里,我们研究了 IQGAP1 是否与内皮素-1 (ET-1)/β-抑制蛋白 1 (β-arr1) 网络形成信号转导体,作为整合粘附成分、细胞骨架重塑和 ECM 降解的信号整合模块。在 SOC 细胞中,ET-1 受体 (ET-1R) 的激活除了改变 IQGAP1 的表达和定位外,还协调 IQGAP1 与β-arr1 的结合,这是 ET-1R 诱导侵袭信号的“热点”。我们证明,IQGAP1 与β-arr1 的分子相互作用影响着粘着斑成分的重定位,如粘着斑蛋白和细胞骨架动力学,这是通过调节侵袭伪足相关途径实现的。特别是,ET-1R 使 Rac1 失活,从而促进 RhoA/C 的激活,以正确发挥侵袭结构的功能。沉默 IQGAP1 或β-arr1,或用双重拮抗剂马西替坦阻断 ET-1R 激活,可防止基质金属蛋白酶 (MMP) 活性、侵袭伪足功能、跨内皮迁移和细胞侵袭。在体内,靶向 ET-1R/β-arr1 信号控制 SOC 转移的过程,这与 IQGAP1 以及其他侵袭伪足效应物,如粘着斑蛋白、磷酸化皮质蛋白和膜型 1-MMP 的水平降低有关。ETR/β-arr1/IQGAP1 的高表达与预后不良呈正相关,这验证了该特征在 SOC 早期预后中的临床意义。这些数据确立了 ET-1R 驱动的β-arr1/IQGAP1 相互作用是促进侵袭伪足和人类 SOC 转移过程中途径动态整合的前提。
