Abstract:
:It is becoming increasingly clear that tumor growth and progression is not entirely due to genetic aberrations but also reflective of tumor cell plasticity. It follows therefore that proteins contributing to tumor progression oscillate in their expression a contention yet to be shown. Because the urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) promotes tumor growth and invasion, we determined whether its expression is itself plastic. In fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), three independent colon cancer clonal populations revealed the expected Gaussian distribution for cell surface uPAR display. However, subcloning of cells collected from the trailing edge of the FACS yielded subpopulations, displaying low cell surface uPAR number. Importantly, these subclones spontaneously reverted to cells enriched in uPAR display, indicating a metastable phenotype. uPAR display plasticity was associated with divergent in vivo behavior with weak tumor growth and progression segregating with receptor deficiency. Mechanistically, reduced uPAR display reflected not repressed gene expression but a switch in uPAR protein trafficking from membrane insertion to shedding. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration that uPAR cell surface density is oscillatory and we propose that such an event might well contribute to tumor progression.
