Abstract/OtherAbstract:
CD147 (alias emmprin or basigin), an integral plasma membrane glycoprotein and a member of the Ig superfamily, is widespread in normal tissues, but highly up-regulated in many types of malignant cancer cells. CD147 is multifunctional, with numerous binding partners. Recent studies suggest that complexes of CD147 with the hyaluronan receptor CD44 and associated transporters and receptor tyrosine kinases are enriched in the plasma membrane of cancer stem-like cells. Here, we show that subpopulations of tumor cell lines constitutively expressing high levels of cell-surface CD147 exhibit cancer stem-like cell properties; that is, they exhibit much greater invasiveness, anchorage-independent growth, spheroid formation, and drug resistance in vitro and higher tumorigenicity in vivo than those constitutively expressing low levels of cell-surface CD147. Primary CD147-rich cell subpopulations derived from mouse mammary adenocarcinomas also exhibit high levels of invasiveness and spheroid-forming capacity, whereas CD147-low cells do not. Moreover, localization at the plasma membrane of CD44, the EGF receptor, the ABCB1 and ABCG2 drug transporters, and the MCT4 monocarboxylate transporter is elevated in cells constitutively expressing high levels of cell-surface CD147. These results show that CD147 is associated with assembly of numerous pro-oncogenic proteins in the plasma membrane and may play a fundamental role in properties characteristic of cancer stem-like cells.
