Adhesion and migration of tumor cells on and
through the vascular endothelium are critical steps of the metastatic
invasion. We investigated the roles of E-selectin and of
stress-activated protein kinase-2 (SAPK2/p38) in modulating endothelial
adhesion and transendothelial migration of HT-29 colon carcinoma cells. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF ) strongly increased the expression of
E-selectin in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). This
effect was independent of the activation of SAPK2/p38 induced by
TNF . Adhesion of HT-29 cells on a monolayer of HUVEC pretreated with
TNF was dependent on E-selectin expression but was independent of
SAPK2/p38 activity of both HUVEC and tumor cells. The adhesion of HT-29
cells to E-selectin-expressing HUVEC led to the activation of SAPK2/p38
in the tumor cells as reflected by the increased phosphorylation of the
actin-polymerizing factor HSP27 by mitogen-activated protein kinase
2/3, a direct target of SAPK2/p38. Moreover, a recombinant
E-selectin/Fc chimera quickly increased the activation of SAPK2/p38 in
HT-29 cells. Blocking the increased activity of SAPK2/p38 of HT-29
cells by SB203580 or by expressing a dominant negative form of
SAPK2/p38 inhibited their transendothelial migration. Similarly, HeLa
cells stably expressing a kinase-inactive mutant of SAPK2/p38 showed a
decreased capacity to cross a layer of HUVEC. Overall, our results
suggest that the regulation of transendothelial migration of tumor
cells involves two essential steps as follows: adhesion to the
endothelium through adhesion molecules, such as E-selectin, and
increased motogenic potential through adhesion-mediated activation of the SAPK2/p38 pathway.
