From the The expression and activity of epithelial
proteinases is under stringent control to prevent aberrant hydrolysis
of structural proteins and disruption of tissue architecture.
E-cadherin-dependent cell-cell adhesion is also important
for maintenance of epithelial structural integrity, and loss of
E-cadherin expression has been correlated with enhanced invasive
potential in multiple tumor models. To address the hypothesis that
there is a functional link between E-cadherin and proteinase
expression, we have examined the role of E-cadherin in proteinase
regulation. By using a calcium switch protocol to manipulate junction
assembly, our data demonstrate that initiation of de novo
E-cadherin-mediated adhesive contacts suppresses expression of
both relative matrix metalloproteinase-9 levels and net
urinary-type plasminogen activator activity.
E-cadherin-mediated cell-cell adhesion increases both
phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase (PI3-kinase)-dependent AKT phosphorylation and
epidermal growth factor receptor-dependent MAPK/ERK
activation. Pharmacologic inhibition of the PI3-kinase pathway, but
not the epidermal growth factor receptor/MAPK pathway, prevents
E-cadherin-mediated suppression of proteinases and delays junction
assembly. Moreover, inhibition of junction assembly with a
function-blocking anti-E-cadherin antibody stimulates
proteinase-dependent Matrigel invasion. As matrix
metalloproteinase-9 and urinary-type plasminogen activator potentiate
the invasive activity of oral squamous cell carcinoma, these data
suggest E-cadherin-mediated signaling through PI3-kinase can
regulate the invasive behavior of cells by modulating proteinase secretion.
