ABSTRACT
Clear cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common and metastatic urological cancer. Molecular players of ccRCC progression and metastasis are not completely known. Here, using primary cell cultures from patients' specimens, we found that TGFß1/Smad signalling is more activated in high versus low grade ccRCC and inversely correlates with Abl2 tyrosine kinase protein expression. TGFß1 treatment increased ubiquitination and degradation of Abl2 protein in ccRCC cell lines by TGFß1/Smad pathway activation and reactive oxygen species production. 3D invasion and matrix degradation assays showed that Abl2 promoted TGFß1-induced ccRCC cell invasion and maturation of invadopodia, a hallmark of tumour invasion and metastasis. Our findings define Abl2 as a new downstream molecule of TGFß1 signalling and putative target to counteract advanced ccRCC.
