Popis: | Neuropilin 1 (NRP1), a non-tyrosine kinase receptor for vascular endothelial growth factor and class 3 Semaphorins, is highly expressed in many human tumour cell lines, but its function is poorly understood. Here, we describe the expression of a new chondroitin sulphate-modified NRP1 (NRP1-CS) in human tumour cell lines. Expression of a non-modifiable NRP1 mutant (S612A) in U87MG human glioma cells results in enhanced invasion in three dimensions (3D), whereas wild-type NRP1 has no effect. Furthermore, the S612A NRP1 cells show a significant increase in p130Cas tyrosine phosphorylation compared with control and wild-type NRP1 cells. Silencing of p130Cas in S612A NRP1 cells resulted in a loss of increased invasive phenotype. Interestingly, p130Cas silencing does not inhibit basal 3D invasion, but leads to a mesenchymal to amoeboid transition. Biopsies from both low- and high-grade human gliomas show strong expression of NRP1, and little expression of NRP1-CS. Our data establish distinct roles for NRP1 and NRP1-CS in modulating a new NRP1-p130Cas signalling pathway contributing to glioblastoma cell invasion in 3D. |
