Abstract
Tetraspanin protein CD151 on tumor cells supports invasion and metastasis. In the present study, we show that host animal CD151 also plays a critical role. CD151-null mice showed markedly diminished experimental lung metastasis after injection of Lewis lung carcinoma or B16F10 melanoma cells. Diminished tumor cell residence in the lungs was evident 6-24 hours after injection. Consistent with an endothelial cell deficiency, isolated CD151-null mouse lung endothelial cells showed diminished support for B16F10 adhesion and transendothelial migration, diminished B16F10-induced permeability, and diminished B16F10 adhesion to extracellular matrix deposited by CD151-null mouse lung endothelial cells. However, CD151 deletion did not affect the size of metastatic foci or subcutaneous primary B16F10 tumors, tumor aggregation, tumor clearance from the blood, or tumor-induced immune cell activation and recruitment. Therefore, the effects of host CD151 on metastasis do not involve altered local tumor growth or immune surveillance. VEGF-induced endothelial cell signaling through Src and Akt was diminished in CD151-null endothelial cells. However, deficient signaling was not accompanied by reduced endothelial permeability either in vitro (monolayer permeability assay) or in vivo (VEGF-stimulated Miles assay). In summary, diminished metastasis in CD151-null host animals may be due to impaired tumor-endothelial interactions, with underlying defects in mouse lung endothelial cell extracellular matrix production.Keywords
