Abstract | Netrin-1 is a neural guidance factor that regulates migration and positioning of neural crest-derived cells during embryonic development. Depending on the type of Netrin-1 receptor expression, cells are either attracted or repulsed by Netrin-1. Postnatal expression of Netrin-1 is detected in brain, colon, liver, and kidney, which are common sites of cancer metastasis, including melanoma. Thus, understanding the dynamics between Netrin-1 and its receptors could explain the attraction of melanoma towards these Netrin-1-expressing tissues. Here, we investigate whether the Netrin-1-attractive receptor Neogenin can affect migration of melanoma cells towards a Netrin-1 source. Results from Western blot (WB) analysis show higher expression of Neogenin in aggressive compared to non-aggressive melanoma cells. Cell migration experiments show increased migration of Neogenin-expressing aggressive melanoma cells towards exogenous, soluble recombinant human Netrin-1 and towards a Netrin-1-expressing cell line. Furthermore, WB reveals ERK1/2 activation and increased N-cadherin expression in Neogenin-expressing aggressive melanoma cells treated with rhNetrin-1. Moreover, treatment with anti-Neogenin blocking antibody caused decreased migration towards Netrin-1-expressing cells and reduced ERK1/2 activity in Neogenin-expressing aggressive melanoma cells. These results suggest Neogenin may play a role during migration of melanoma cells towards Netrin-1 via ERK1/2 signaling. |
