RESUMO

The immune microenvironment in inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is poorly characterised, and molecular and cellular pathways that control accumulation of various immune cells in IBC tissues remain largely unknown. Here, we discovered a novel pathway linking the expression of the tetraspanin protein CD151 in tumour cells with increased accumulation of macrophages in cancerous tissues. It is notable that elevated expression of CD151 and a higher number of tumour-infiltrating macrophages correlated with better patient responses to chemotherapy. Accordingly, CD151-expressing IBC xenografts were characterised by the increased infiltration of macrophages. In vitro migration experiments demonstrated that CD151 stimulates the chemoattractive potential of IBC cells for monocytes via mechanisms involving midkine (a heparin-binding growth factor), integrin α6ß1, and production of extracellular vesicles (EVs). Profiling of chemokines secreted by IBC cells demonstrated that CD151 increases production of midkine. Purified midkine specifically stimulated migration of monocytes, but not other immune cells. Further experiments demonstrated that the chemoattractive potential of IBC-derived EVs is blocked by anti-midkine antibodies. These results demonstrate for the first time that changes in the expression of a tetraspanin protein by tumour cells can affect the formation of the immune microenvironment by modulating recruitment of effector cells to cancerous tissues. Therefore, a CD151-midkine pathway can be considered as a novel target for controlled changes of the immune landscape in IBC. © 2020 Pathological Society of Great Britain and Ireland.

RESUMO

The tetraspanin CD151 is a marker of aggressive cell proliferation and invasiveness for a variety of cancer types. Given reports of CD151 expression on T cells, we explored whether CD151 would mark T cells in a hyperactivated state. Consistent with the idea that CD151 could mark a phenotypically distinct T cell subset, it was not uniformly expressed on T cells. CD151 expression frequency was a function of the T cell lineage (CD8 > CD4) and a function of the memory differentiation state (naive T cells < central memory T cells < effector memory T cells < T effector memory RA+ cells). CD151 and CD57, a senescence marker, defined the same CD28- T cell populations. However, CD151 also marked a substantial CD28+ T cell population that was not marked by CD57. Kinome array analysis demonstrated that CD28+CD151+ T cells form a subpopulation with a distinct molecular baseline and activation phenotype. Network analysis of these data revealed that cell cycle control and cell death were the most altered process motifs in CD28+CD151+ T cells. We demonstrate that CD151 in T cells is not a passive marker, but actively changed the cell cycle control and cell death process motifs of T cells. Consistent with these data, long-term T cell culture experiments in the presence of only IL-2 demonstrated that independent of their CD28 expression status, CD151+ T cells, but not CD151- T cells, would exhibit an Ag-independent, hyperresponsive proliferation phenotype. Not unlike its reported function as a tumor aggressiveness marker, CD151 in humans thus marks and enables hyperproliferative T cells.

RESUMO

Tetraspanins play important roles in normal (e.g. cell adhesion, motility, activation, and proliferation) and pathological conditions (e.g. metastasis and viral infection). Tetraspanins interact with integrins and regulate integrin functions, but the specifics of tetraspanin-integrin interactions are unclear. Using co-immunoprecipitation with integrins as a sole method to detect interaction between integrins and full-length tetraspanins, it has been proposed that the variable region (helices D and E) of the extracellular-2 (EC2) domain of tetraspanins laterally associates with a non-ligand-binding site of integrins. We describe that, using adhesion assays, the EC2 domain of CD81, CD9, and CD151 bound to integrin αvß3, and this binding was suppressed by cRGDfV, a specific inhibitor of αvß3, and antibody 7E3, which is mapped to the ligand-binding site of ß3. We also present evidence that the specificity loop of ß3 directly bound to the EC2 domains. This suggests that the EC2 domains specifically bind to the classical ligand-binding site of αvß3. αvß3 was a more effective receptor for the EC2 domains than the previously known tetraspanin receptors α3ß1, α4ß1, and α6ß1. Docking simulation predicted that the helices A and B of CD81 EC2 bind to the RGD-binding site of αvß3. Substituting Lys residues at positions 116 and 144/148 of CD81 EC2 in the predicted integrin-binding interface reduced the binding of CD81 EC2 to αvß3, consistent with the docking model. These findings suggest that, in contrast with previous models, the ligand-binding site of integrin αvß3, a new tetraspanin receptor, binds to the constant region (helices A and B) of the EC2 domain.

RESUMO

Our previous studies revealed that tetraspanin CD151 plays multiple roles in the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by forming a functional complex with integrin α6ß1. Herein, we generated a monoclonal antibody (mAb) that dissociates the CD151/integrin α6ß1 complex, and we evaluated its bioactivity in HCCs. A murine mAb, tetraspanin CD151 (IgG1, called CD151 mAb 9B), was successfully generated against the CD151-integrin α6ß1 binding site of CD151 extracellular domains. Co-immunoprecipitation using CD151 mAb 9B followed by Western blotting detected a 28 kDa protein. Both immunofluorescent and immunohistochemical staining showed a good reactivity of CD151 mAb 9B in the plasma membrane and cytoplasm of HCC cells, as well as in liver cells. In vitro assays demonstrated that CD151 mAb 9B could inhibit neoangiogenesis and both the mobility and the invasiveness of HCC cells. An in vivo assay showed that CD151 mAb 9B inhibited tumor growth potential and HCC cells metastasis. We successfully produced a CD151 mAb 9B targeting the CD151/integrin α6ß1-binding domain, which not only can displayed good reactivity to the CD151 antigen but also prevented tumor progression in HCC.

RESUMO

Originally identified as a molecular organizer of interacting proteins into tetraspanin-enriched microdomains, the tetraspanin CD151 has now been shown to be involved in tumour progression. Increasing evidence emerging from in vitro, in vivo and clinical analyses implicates this tetraspanin in supporting growth of various types of tumours at different levels. It affects both cell autonomous behavior and communication with neighboring cells and the microenvironment. CD151 regulates post-adhesion events, that is, cell spreading, migration and invasion including subsequent intravasation and formation of metastasis. Present on both neoplastic and endothelial cells, CD151 is engaged in promotion of tumour neovascularization. The molecular mechanism of CD151 in cancer is based on its ability to organize distribution and function of interacting proteins, ie, laminin-binding integrins (α3ß1, α6ß1 and α6ß4), receptors for growth factors (HGFR, EGFR and TGF-ß1R) and matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-7, MMP-2 and MMP-9), which indicates its importance in disease development. Results of clinical analyses of CD151 expression in different types of cancer and a large number of in vivo models demonstrate its impact on tumour growth and invasion and implicate CD151 as a valuable diagnostic and prognostic marker as well as a potential target for anti-cancer therapy.
