Abstract:
:Neuroblastomas are extremely aggressive, although heterogeneous, cancers with a poor prognosis upon metastasis. Some evidence has suggested a correlative silencing of caspase-8 with MYCN amplification in neuroblastoma. A prognostic effect of this silencing, however, has been disputed. We report here hitherto undescribed roles for caspase-8 in the modulation of cell adhesion and subsequent activation of the Erk signaling pathway. Re-expression of caspase-8 in neuroblastoma cells lacking endogenous caspase-8 expression was found to promote cell adhesion to extracellular matrix and to activate adhesion-dependent signaling pathways, such as the Erk kinase cascade. This function of caspase-8 occurred irrespective of its proteolytic activity. Additionally, a pool of caspase-8 was shown to co-localize with the Src tyrosine kinase at the cellular periphery. Furthermore, our studies showed that caspase-8 forms a physical protein complex with Src via its death effector domains (DED) and maintains the complex in a detergent-soluble fraction. We also show that the DEDs of caspase-8 alone are necessary and sufficient to recreate the adhesive and biochemical phenotypes observed with the full-length protein, suggesting that caspase-8 may exert these effects via its association with Src. This protein complex association of caspase-8 and Src, and concomitant downstream signaling events, may help reconcile why a potential tumor suppressor such as caspase-8 is rarely absent in cancers.
