Abstract:
:Invadopodia, cancer cell protrusions with proteolytic activity, are functionally associated with active remodeling of the extracellular matrix. Here, we show that the invadopodia-related protein TKS5 is expressed in human pancreatic adenocarcinoma lines, and demonstrate that pancreatic cancer cells depend on TKS5 for invadopodia formation and function. Immunofluorescence staining of human pancreatic cancer cells reveals that TKS5 is a marker of mature and immature invadopodia. We also analyze the co-staining patterns of TKS5 and the commonly used invadopodia marker Cortactin, and find only partial co-localization of these two proteins at invadopodia, with a large fraction of TKS5-positive invadopodia lacking detectable levels of Cortactin. Whereas compelling evidence exist on the role of invadopodia as mediators of invasive migration in cultured cells and in animal models of cancer, these structures have never been detected inside human tumors. Here, using antibodies against TKS5 and Cortactin, we describe for the first time structures strongly resembling invadopodia in various paraffin-embedded human tumor surgical specimens from pancreas and other organs. Our results strongly suggest that invadopodia are present inside human tumors, and warrants further investigation on their regulation and occurrence in surgical specimens, and on the value of TKS5 antibodies as pathological research and diagnostic tools.
