Oncel S, Basson MD. ZINC40099027 promotes monolayer circular defect closure by a novel pathway involving cytosolic activation of focal adhesion kinase and downstream paxillin and ERK1/2.

Abstract
ZINC40099027 (ZN27) is a specific focal adhesion kinase (FAK) activator that promotes murine mucosal wound closure after ischemic or NSAID-induced injury. Diverse motogenic pathways involve FAK, but the direct consequences of pure FAK activation have not been studied, and how ZN27-induced FAK activation stimulates wound closure remained unclear. We investigated signaling and focal adhesion (FA) turnover after FAK activation by ZN27 in Caco-2 cells, confirming key results in CCD841 cells. ZN27 increased Caco-2 FAK-Y-397, FAK-Y-576/7, paxillin-Y-118, and ERK 1/2 phosphorylation and decreased FAK-Y-925 phosphorylation, without altering FAK-Y-861, p38, Jnk, or Akt phosphorylation. ZN27 increased FAK-paxillin interaction while decreasing FAK-Grb2 association. ZN27 increased membrane-associated FAK-Y-397 and FAK-Y-576/7 phosphorylation and paxillin-Y-118 and ERK 1/2 phosphorylation but decreased FAK-Y-925 phosphorylation without altering Src or Grb2. Moreover, ZN27 increased the fluorescence intensity of GFP-FAK and pFAK-Y397 in FAs and increased the total number of FAs but reduced their size in GFP-FAK-transfected Caco-2 cells, consistent with increased FA turnover. In contrast, FAK-Y397F transfection prevented ZN27 effects on FAK size and number and FAK and pFAK fluorescent intensity in FAs. We confirmed the proposed FAK/paxillin/ERK pathway using PP2 and U0126 to block Src and MEK1/2 in Caco-2 and CCD841 cells. These results suggest that ZN27 promotes intestinal epithelial monolayer defect closure by stimulating autophosphorylation of FAK in the cytosol, distinct from classical models of FAK activation in the FA. Phosphorylated FAK translocates to the membrane, where its downstream substrates paxillin and ERK are phosphorylated, leading to FA turnover and human intestinal epithelial cell migration.

The Role of Csmd1 during Mammary Gland Development. Genes (Basel) 2021; 12:genes12020162.

Abstract
The Cub Sushi Multiple Domains-1 (CSMD1) protein is a tumour suppressor which has been shown to play a role in regulating human mammary duct development in vitro. CSMD1 knockdown in vitro demonstrated increased cell proliferation, invasion and motility. However, the role of Csmd1 in vivo is poorly characterised when it comes to ductal development and is therefore an area which warrants further exploration. In this study a Csmd1 knockout (KO) mouse model was used to identify the role of Csmd1 in regulating mammary gland development during puberty. Changes in duct development and protein expression patterns were analysed by immunohistochemistry. This study identified increased ductal development during the early stages of puberty in the KO mice, characterised by increased ductal area and terminal end bud number at 6 weeks. Furthermore, increased expression of various proteins (Stat1, Fak, Akt, Slug/Snail and Progesterone receptor) was shown at 4 weeks in the KO mice, followed by lower expression levels from 6 weeks in the KO mice compared to the wild type mice. This study identifies a novel role for Csmd1 in mammary gland development, with Csmd1 KO causing significantly more rapid mammary gland development, suggesting an earlier adult mammary gland formation.

Abstract
Cell shape is regulated by cell adhesion and cytoskeletal and membrane dynamics. Cell shape, adhesion, and motility have a complex relationship and understanding them is important in understanding developmental patterning and embryogenesis. Here we show that the lipid kinase phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase III beta (PI4KIIIβ) regulates cell shape, migration, and focal adhesion (FA) number. PI4KIIIβ generates phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P) from phosphatidylinositol and is highly expressed in a subset of human breast cancers. PI4KIIIβ and the PI4P it generates regulate a variety of cellular functions, ranging from control of Golgi structure, fly fertility, and Akt signaling. Here, we show that loss of PI4KIIIβ expression decreases cell migration and alters cell shape in NIH3T3 fibroblasts. The changes are accompanied by an increase in the number of FA in cells lacking PI4KIIIβ. Furthermore, we find that PI4P-containing vesicles move to the migratory leading edge during migration and that some of these vesicles tether to and fuse with FA. Fusion is associated with FA disassembly. This suggests a novel regulatory role for PI4KIIIβ and PI4P in cell adhesion and cell shape maintenance.

Focal Adhesion Kinase Promotes Hepatic Stellate Cell Activation by Regulating Plasma Membrane Localization of TGFβ Receptor 2. Hepatol Commun 2020; 4:268-283. [PMID: 32025610 PMCID: PMC6996408 DOI: 10.1002/hep4.1452] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2019] [Accepted: 11/03/2019] [Indexed: 01/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) induces hepatic stellate cell (HSC) differentiation into tumor-promoting myofibroblast, although underlying mechanism remains incompletely understood. Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is activated in response to TGFβ stimulation, so it transmits TGFβ stimulus to extracellular signal-regulated kinase and P38 mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling. However, it is unknown whether FAK can, in return, modulate TGFβ receptors. In this study, we tested whether FAK phosphorylated TGFβ receptor 2 (TGFβR2) and regulated TGFβR2 intracellular trafficking in HSCs. The FAKY397F mutant and PF-573,228 were used to inhibit the kinase activity of FAK, the TGFβR2 protein level was quantitated by immunoblotting, and HSC differentiation into myofibroblast was assessed by expression of HSC activation markers, alpha-smooth muscle actin, fibronectin, or connective tissue growth factor. We found that targeting FAK kinase activity suppressed the TGFβR2 protein level, TGFβ1-induced mothers against decapentaplegic homolog phosphorylation, and myofibroblastic activation of HSCs. At the molecular and cellular level, active FAK (phosphorylated FAK at tyrosine 397) bound to TGFβR2 and kept TGFβR2 at the peripheral plasma membrane of HSCs, and it induced TGFβR2 phosphorylation at tyrosine 336. In contrast, targeting FAK or mutating Y336 to F on TGFβR2 led to lysosomal sorting and degradation of TGFβR2. Using RNA sequencing, we identified that the transcripts of 764 TGFβ target genes were influenced by FAK inhibition, and that through FAK, TGFβ1 stimulated HSCs to produce a panel of tumor-promoting factors, including extracellular matrix remodeling proteins, growth factors and cytokines, and immune checkpoint molecule PD-L1. Functionally, targeting FAK inhibited tumor-promoting effects of HSCs in vitro and in a tumor implantation mouse model. Conclusion: FAK targets TGFβR2 to the plasma membrane and protects TGFβR2 from lysosome-mediated degradation, thereby promoting TGFβ-mediated HSC activation. FAK is a target for suppressing HSC activation and the hepatic tumor microenvironment.

Abstract
The attachment of Escherichia coli O157:H7 to intestinal epithelial cells is indispensable for its pathogenesis. Besides translocated-intimin receptor (Tir), E. coli O157:H7 interacts with host cell surface receptors to promote intimate adhesion. This study showed that integrin β1 was increased in Caco-2 cells upon E. coli O157:H7 infection, while Caco-2 cells subjected to integrin β1 antibody blocking or CRISPR/Cas9 knockout had reduced bacterial attachment. Infection of E. coli O157:H7 inactivated focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and paxillin, increased focal adhesion (FA) and actin polymerization, and decreased cell migration in Caco-2 cells, which were rescued by integrin β1 antibody blocking or knockout. Pre-treatment with quercetin, known for its anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activity, reduced bacterial infection to Caco-2 cells, which might be partially via interfering integrin β1 and FAK association augmented by E. coli O157:H7. In addition, quercetin decreased FA formation induced by bacterial infection and recovered host cell motility. Taken together, data showed that E. coli O157:H7 interacts with integrin β1 to facilitate its adhesion to host cells. Quercetin inhibits bacterial infection possibly by blocking the interaction between E. coli O157:H7 and integrin β1. Collectively, these data indicate that quercetin provides an alternative antimicrobial to mitigate and control E. coli O157:H7 intestinal infection, and suggest potential broad benefits of quercetin and related polyphenols in fighting other enteric pathogen infections.

Abstract
G-Protein Coupled Receptor (GPCR), Class C, Group 5, Member A (GPRC5A) has been implicated in several malignancies. The underlying mechanisms, however, remain poorly understood. Using a panel of human cell lines, we demonstrate that CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockout and RNAi-mediated depletion of GPRC5A impairs cell adhesion to integrin substrates: collagens I and IV, fibronectin, as well as to extracellular matrix proteins derived from the Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm (EHS) mouse sarcoma (Matrigel). Consistent with the phenotype, knock-out of GPRC5A correlated with a reduced integrin β1 (ITGB1) protein expression, impaired phosphorylation of the focal adhesion kinase (FAK), and lower activity of small GTPases RhoA and Rac1. Furthermore, we provide the first evidence for a direct interaction between GPRC5A and a receptor tyrosine kinase EphA2, an upstream regulator of FAK, although its contribution to the observed adhesion phenotype is unclear. Our findings reveal an unprecedented role for GPRC5A in regulation of the ITGB1-mediated cell adhesion and it's downstream signaling, thus indicating a potential novel role for GPRC5A in human epithelial cancers.

Abstract
Erythropoiesis is the process of proliferation, differentiation, and maturation of erythroid cells. Understanding these steps will help to elucidate the basis of specific diseases associated with abnormal production of red blood cells. In this study, we continued our efforts to identify genes involved in erythroid proliferation. Lentivirally transduced UT-7/Epo erythroleukemic cells expressing ribosomal protein L11 (RPL11) or retinol dehydrogenase 11 (RDH11) could proliferate in the absence of erythropoietin, and their cell-cycle profiles revealed G0/G1 prolongation and low percentages of apoptosis. RPL11-expressing cells proliferated more rapidly than the RDH11-expressing cells. The antiapoptotic proteins BCL-XL and BCL-2 were expressed in both cell lines. Unlike the parental UT-7/Epo cells, the expression of hemoglobins (Hbs) in the transduced cells had switched from adult to fetal type. Several signal transduction pathways, including STAT5, were highly activated in transduced cells; furthermore, expression of the downstream target genes of STAT5, such as CCND1, was upregulated in the transduced cells. Taken together, the data indicate that RPL11 and RDH11 accelerate erythroid cell proliferation by upregulating the STAT5 signaling pathway with phosphorylation of Lyn and cyclic AMP response element-binding protein (CREB).

Abstract
Focal adhesion (FA) kinase (FAK) regulates cell survival and motility by transducing signals from membrane receptors. The C-terminal FA targeting (FAT) domain of FAK fulfils multiple functions, including recruitment to FAs through paxillin binding. Phosphorylation of FAT on Tyr(925) facilitates FA disassembly and connects to the MAPK pathway through Grb2 association, but requires dissociation of the first helix (H1) of the four-helix bundle of FAT. We investigated the importance of H1 opening in cells by comparing the properties of FAK molecules containing wild-type or mutated FAT with impaired or facilitated H1 openings. These mutations did not alter the activation of FAK, but selectively affected its cellular functions, including self-association, Tyr(925) phosphorylation, paxillin binding, and FA targeting and turnover. Phosphorylation of Tyr(861), located between the kinase and FAT domains, was also enhanced by the mutation that opened the FAT bundle. Similarly phosphorylation of Ser(910) by ERK in response to bombesin was increased by FAT opening. Although FAK molecules with the mutation favoring FAT opening were poorly recruited at FAs, they efficiently restored FA turnover and cell shape in FAK-deficient cells. In contrast, the mutation preventing H1 opening markedly impaired FAK function. Our data support the biological importance of conformational dynamics of the FAT domain and its functional interactions with other parts of the molecule.

Abstract
ARHI is an imprinted tumor suppressor gene that is downregulated in > 60% of ovarian cancers, associated with decreased progression-free survival. ARHI encodes a 26 kDa GTPase with homology to Ras. Re-expression of ARHI inhibits ovarian cancer growth, initiates autophagy and induces tumor dormancy. Recent studies have demonstrated that ARHI also plays a particularly important role in ovarian cancer cell migration. Re-expression of ARHI decreases motility of IL-6- and EGF-stimulated SKOv3 and Hey ovarian cancer cells, inhibiting both chemotaxis and haptotaxis. ARHI inhibits cell migration by binding and sequestering STAT3 in the cytoplasm, and preventing STAT3 translocation to the nucleus and localization in focal adhesion complexes. Re-expression of ARHI inhibits FAK (Y397) phosphorylation, disrupts focal adhesions and blocks FAK-mediated RhoA signaling, resulting in decreased levels of GTP-RhoA. Re-expression of ARHI disrupts formation of actin stress fibers in a FAK- and RhoA-dependent manner. Recent studies indicate that re-expression of ARHI inhibits expression of β-1 integrin which may also contribute to inhibition of migration, adhesion and invasion.

Abstract
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is commonly described as a transcription factor, which regulates xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes. Recent studies have suggested that the binding of ligands to the AhR also activates the Src kinase. In this manuscript, we show that the AhR, through the activation of Src, activates focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and promotes integrin clustering. These effects contribute to cell migration. Further, we show that the activation of the AhR increases the interaction of FAK with the metastatic marker, HEF1/NEDD9/CAS-L, and the expression of several integrins. Xenobiotic exposure, thus, may contribute to novel cell-migratory programs.

Abstract
FAK plays a key role in the regulation of cell migration. The authors show that the phosphorylation status of FAK at Tyr-925 is involved in FA turnover, formation of FAs, and increase in cell edge protrusion, together with activation of the p130CAS/Rac1 signaling pathway. Cell migration is a highly complex process that requires the coordinated formation of membrane protrusion and focal adhesions (FAs). Focal adhesion kinase (FAK), a major signaling component of FAs, is involved in the disassembly process of FAs through phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of its tyrosine residues, but the role of such phosphorylations in nascent FA formation and turnover near the cell front and in cell protrusion is less well understood. In the present study, we demonstrate that, depending on the phosphorylation status of Tyr-925 residue, FAK modulates cell migration via two specific mechanisms. FAK−/− mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) expressing nonphosphorylatable Y925F-FAK show increased interactions between FAK and unphosphorylated paxillin, which lead to FA stabilization and thus decreased FA turnover and reduced cell migration. Conversely, MEFs expressing phosphomimetic Y925E-FAK display unchanged FA disassembly rates, show increase in phosphorylated paxillin in FAs, and exhibit increased formation of nascent FAs at the cell leading edges. Moreover, Y925E-FAK cells present enhanced cell protrusion together with activation of the p130CAS/Dock180/Rac1 signaling pathway. Together, our results demonstrate that phosphorylation of FAK at Tyr-925 is required for FAK-mediated cell migration and cell protrusion.

Abstract
Cell adhesion complexes facilitate attachment between cells or the binding of cells to the extracellular matrix. The regulation of cell adhesion is an important step in embryonic development and contributes to tissue homeostasis allowing processes such as differentiation and cell migration. Many mechanisms of cancer progression are reminiscent of embryonic development, for example, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and involve the disruption of cell adhesion and expression changes in components of cell adhesion structures. Tight junctions, adherens junctions, desmosomes, and focal adhesion besides their roles in cell-cell or cell-matrix interaction also possess cell signaling function. Perturbations of such signaling pathways can lead to cancer. This article gives an overview of the common structures of cell adhesion and summarizes the impact of their loss on cancer development and progression with articles highlighted from the present issue.
