    Abstract ErbB4 is a member of the ErbB receptor tyrosine kinase family. It has both pro- and anti-oncogenic activities in tumors. Vasculogenic mimicry (VM), a phenomenon in which cancer cells form capillary-like structures without endothelial cells, has been recognized to be a cause of malignant phenotypes in some solid tumors. Here, we used an in vitro VM formation assay, and demonstrated that ErbB4 negatively regulated VM formation in human breast cancer cells. By using CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene knockout, we verified that the depletion of endogenous ErbB4 improved the VM formation capability. Although treatment with neuregulin 1 (NRG1), a ligand of ErbB4, induced the phosphorylation of ErbB4 and promoted VM formation in a dose-dependent manner, it did not induce such activities in kinase-dead K751M ErbB4-overexpressing cells. Moreover, we examined the effect of the missense mutation E872K of ErbB4, which has been reported in multiple tumors, on VM formation, and found that the mutation enhanced the basal phosphorylation level and ErbB4-mediated VM formation in the absence of NRG1 stimulation. Whereas NRG1 stimulated VM formation, excessive activation of ErbB4 induced a negative effect. In E872K ErbB4-overexpressing cells, but not in wild-type ErbB4-overexpressing cells, the number of VM tubes was significantly decreased by low-dose treatment with the ErbB inhibitor afatinib. Taken together, our findings demonstrated the significance of ErbB4-mediated VM formation, and suggested the possibility of ErbB4 mutations as effective targets in breast cancer.

    Abstract Vasculogenic mimicry (VM) is the formation of microvascular channels by cancer cells. VM requires cellular processes that are regulated by changes in cellular migration and morphology. Cofilin (CFL), a key regulator of actin depolymerization, has been reported to affect malignant phenotypes of cancer. We show that treatment with inhibitors of actin dynamics suppresses VM in MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells. We established CFL-knockout (KO) MDA-MB-231 cells and found that VM was attenuated in CFL-KO cells. Although the re-expression of wild-type CFL restored VM in CFL-KO cells, inactive phosphomimetic CFL failed to do so. Collectively, our results demonstrate that CFL is a critical regulator of VM and implicate CFL as a novel therapeutic target for breast cancer.

    Abstract Melanoma is a type of skin cancer that derives from melanocytes; this tumor is highly metastatic and causes poor clinical outcomes in patients. Vasculogenic mimicry (VM), a vascular-like network that is formed by tumor cells instead of endothelial cells, promotes the growth and metastasis of tumors by providing tumors with oxygen- and nutrient-containing blood. VM correlates with a poor prognosis in patients with melanoma, but the melanoma-specific mechanisms of VM are unknown. The present study revealed that treatment with the melanogenesis stimulators 3-isobutyl 1-methylxanthine (IBMX) and α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) significantly inhibited VM in MNT-1 human pigmented melanoma cells. Tyrosinase (TYR), an essential enzyme in melanin production, was upregulated on treatment with α-MSH and IBMX, prompting an examination of the association between TYR and VM. A TYR inhibitor, arbutin, promoted VM in melanoma cells. Furthermore, CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockout (KO) of TYR increased VM by melanoma cells. Notably, even in non-pigmented melanoma cells, TYR attenuated VM. Although re-expression of wild-type TYR suppressed VM in TYR-KO cells, T373K TYR, a frequently detected mutation in individuals with albinism, failed to inhibit VM. Overall, these results demonstrated that TYR negatively regulates VM, providing novel insights into the antioncogenic function of TYR in melanomas.

    Abstract C‐mannosylation is a unique type of protein glycosylation via C‐C linkage between an α‐mannose and a tryptophan residue. This modification has been identified in about 30 proteins and regulates several functions, such as protein secretion and intracellular localization, as well as protein stability. About half of C‐mannosylated proteins are categorized as proteins containing thrombospondin type 1 repeat domain or type I cytokine receptors. To evaluate whether C‐mannosylation broadly affects protein functions regardless of protein domain or family, we have sought to identify other types of C‐mannosylated protein and analyse their functions. In this study, we focused on receptor activity modifying protein 1, which neither contains thrombospondin type 1 repeat domain nor belongs to the type I cytokine receptors. Our mass spectrometry analysis demonstrated that RAMP1 is C‐mannosylated at Trp⁵⁶. It has been shown that RAMP1 transports to the plasma membrane after dimerization with calcitonin receptor‐like receptor and is important for ligand‐dependent downstream signalling activation. Our results showed that C‐mannosylation has no effect on this transport activity. On the other hand, C‐mannosylation did enhance protein stability and cell migration activity. Our data may provide new insight into both C‐mannosylation research and novel RAMP1 analysis.

    Abstract C‐mannosylation is a rare type of protein glycosylation whereby a single mannose is added to the first tryptophan in the consensus sequence Trp‐Xaa‐Xaa‐Trp/Cys (in which Xaa represents any amino acid). Its consensus sequence is mainly found in proteins containing a thrombospondin type‐1 repeat (TSR1) domain and in type I cytokine receptors. In these proteins, C‐mannosylation affects protein secretion, intracellular localization, and protein stability; however, the role of C‐mannosylation in proteins that are not type I cytokine receptors and/or do not contain a TSR1 domain is less well explored. In this study, we focused on human vitelline membrane outer layer protein 1 homolog (VMO1). VMO1, which possesses two putative C‐mannosylation sites, is a 21‐kDa secreted protein that does not contain a TSR1 domain and is not a type I cytokine receptor. Mass spectrometry analyses revealed that VMO1 is C‐mannosylated at Trp¹⁰⁵ but not at Trp⁴⁴. Although C‐mannosylation does not affect the extracellular secretion of VMO1, it destabilizes the intracellular VMO1. In addition, a structural comparison between VMO1 and C‐mannosylated VMO1 showed that the modification of the mannose changes the conformation of three loops in VMO1. Taken together, our results demonstrate the first example of C‐mannosylation for protein destabilization of VMO1.
