The intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) modulation plays a key role in the regulation of cellular growth and survival in normal cells and failure of [Ca2+]i homeostasis is involved in tumor initiation and progression. Here we show that inhibition of Furin by its naturally occurring inhibitor the prodomain ppFurin in the MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells resulted in enhanced SOCE through TRPC6 activation that associated reduced cells malignant phenotype. Expression of ppFurin in a stable manner in MDA-MB-231 and the melanoma MDA-MB-435 cell lines inhibits Furin activity as assessed by in vitro digestion assays. Accordingly, cell transfection experiments, revealed that the ppFurin-expressing cells are unable to process adequately the PC substrates proVEGF-C and proIGF-1R. Compared to MDA-MB-435 cells, expression of ppFurin in MDA-MB-231 significantly induces Ca2+ entry which is impaired by silencing of TRPC6 expression. Analysis of TRPC6 activation revealed its up-regulated tyrosine phosphorylation in ppFurin-expressing MDA-MB-231 cells. The expression of ppFurin in MDA-MB-231 cells reduced their viability and ability to migrate and enhanced their sensitization to the apoptosis inducer hydrogen peroxide. These findings suggest that Furin inhibition by ppFurin may be a useful strategy to interfere with Ca2+ mobilization leading to breast cancer cells malignant phenotype repression and reduction of their resistance to treatments. |
