Proprotein convertases (PCs) of the
subtilisin/kexin family are responsible for the activation of
prohormones, protrophic factors, and their receptors. We sought to
determine whether loss of PC-mediated activities might affect the
malignant phenotypes of cancer cells. Stable transfectants of
1-antitrypsin Portland ( 1-PDX)
cDNA, coding for a potent PC inhibitor, were analyzed in model
HT-29 cells (HT-29/PDX) and in other cell lines. Expression of
1-PDX resulted in a proinsulin-like growth factor-1
receptor (pro-IGF-1R) processing blockade, hence inhibiting the ability of exogenous IGF-1 to induce tyrosine phosphorylation of its
-subunit and insulin-related substrate-1. Coexpression of IGF-1R
with four different PCs or the novel convertase SKI-1 in the
furin-defective LoVo-C5 cells demonstrated that pro-IGF-1R (~200 kDa)
cleavage into IGF-1R ( -subunit, ~105 kDa) can be achieved by furin
and PC5A, but not by PACE4, PC7, or SKI-1. Expression of
1-PDX resulted in reduction of DNA synthesis and in
anchorage-independent growth. Following serum deprivation, the
1-PDX transfectants exhibited an enhanced apoptotic
phenotype and were insensitive to IGF-1-mediated [3H]thymidine incorporation and protection against
apoptosis. These cells showed reduced invasiveness that paralleled
decreased mRNA levels of urokinase-type plasminogen activator and
its receptor, tissue-type plasminogen activator, and plasminogen
activator inhibitor-1. Comparative subcutaneous inoculation of cells in
nude mice revealed that animals injected with HT-29/PDX cells exhibited
delayed and lower incidence of tumor development as well as reduced
tumor size. Immunohistochemical analysis of CD31 antigen expression, a
marker of endothelial cells, revealed reduced HT-29/PDX tumor vascularization. These findings indicate that PCs actively contribute to the growth and malignant phenotypes of HT-29 tumors, suggesting that
PC inhibition strategies may be a useful adduct to the arsenal of
colorectal anticancer gene therapies.
