Activation of the Met receptor tyrosine kinase
through its ligand, hepatocyte growth factor, stimulates cell
spreading, cell dispersal, and the inherent morphogenic program of
various epithelial cell lines. Although both hepatocyte growth factor
and epidermal growth factor (EGF) can activate downstream signaling
pathways in Madin-Darby canine kidney epithelial cells, EGF fails to
promote the breakdown of cell-cell junctional complexes and initiate an invasive morphogenic program. We have undertaken a strategy to identify
signals that synergize with EGF in this process. We provide evidence
that the overexpression of the CrkII adapter protein complements
EGF-stimulated pathways to induce cell dispersal in two-dimensional
cultures and cell invasion and branching morphogenesis in
three-dimensional collagen gels. This finding correlates with the
ability of CrkII to promote the breakdown of adherens junctions in
stable cell lines and the ability of EGF to stimulate enhanced Rac
activity in cells overexpressing CrkII. We have previously shown that
the Gab1-docking protein is required for branching morphogenesis
downstream of the Met receptor. Consistent with a role for CrkII in
promoting EGF-dependent branching morphogenesis, the
binding of Gab1 to CrkII is required for the branching morphogenic program downstream of Met. Together, our data support a role for the
CrkII adapter protein in epithelial invasion and morphogenesis and
underscores the importance of considering the synergistic actions of
signaling pathways in cancer progression.
