ABSTRACT
The role of the focal adhesion protein kindlin-3 as a tumor suppressor and its interaction mechanisms with extracellular matrix constitute a major field of investigation to better decipher tumor progression. Besides the well-described role of kindlin-3 in integrin activation, evidence regarding modulatory functions between melanoma cells and tumor microenvironment are lacking and data are needed to understand mechanisms driven by kindlin-3 inactivation. Here, we show that kindlin-3 inactivation through knockdown or somatic mutations increases BRAFV600mut melanoma cells oncogenic properties via collagen-related signaling by decreasing cell adhesion and enhancing proliferation and migration in vitro, and by promoting tumor growth in mice. Mechanistic analysis reveals that kindlin-3 interacts with the collagen-activated tyrosine kinase receptor DDR1 (Discoidin domain receptor 1) modulating its expression and its interaction with ß1-integrin. Kindlin-3 knockdown or mutational inactivation disrupt DDR1/ß1-integrin complex in vitro and in vivo and its loss improves the anti-proliferative effect of DDR1 inhibition. In agreement, kindlin-3 downregulation is associated with DDR1 over-expression in situ and linked to worse melanoma prognosis. Our study reveals a unique mechanism of action of kindlin-3 in the regulation of tumorigenesis mediated by the collagen-activated tyrosine kinase receptor DDR1 thus paving the way for innovative therapeutic targeting approaches in melanoma.
