ADAM9 Promotes Lung Cancer Metastases to Brain by a Plasminogen Activator-Based Pathway

Abstract: The transmembrane cell adhesion protein ADAM9 has been implicated in cancer cell migration and lung cancer metastasis to the brain, but the underpinning mechanisms are unclear and clinical support has been lacking. Here, we demonstrate that ADAM9 enhances the ability of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) to cleave and stimulate the function of the promigratory protein CDCP1 to promote lung metastasis. Blocking this mechanism of cancer cell migration prolonged survival in tumor-bearing mice and cooperated with … Show more

“…injection into nude mice (36). In agreement, overexpression of ADAM9 in lung cancer cells resulted in both brain and lung metastases, whereas mock-transfected cells only colonized the lungs (37,38). All these results are in accordance with clinical observations indicating that expression of ADAM9 was correlated with shortened survival and poor outcome of cancer patients and associated with the occurrence of distant metastases (39)(40)(41).…”
