Abstract

Cell adhesion molecule CD44v8-10 is associated with tumor ste0mness and malignancy; however, whether CD44v10 alone confers these properties is unknown. Here, we demonstrated that CD44v10 promotes stemness and chemoresistance of triple-negative breast cancers (TNBCs) individually. Next, we identified that genes differentially expressed in response to ectopic expression of CD44v10 are mostly related to glycolysis. Further, we showed that CD44v10 upregulates glucose transporter 1 to facilitate glycolysis by activating the MAPK/ERK and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways. This glycolytic reprogramming induced by CD44v10 contributes to the stem-like properties of TNBC cells and confers resistance to paclitaxel treatment. Notably, we determined that the knockdown of glucose transporter 1 could attenuate the enhanced effects of CD44v10 on glycolysis, stemness, and paclitaxel resistance. Collectively, our findings provide novel insights into the function of CD44v10 in TNBCs and suggest that targeting CD44v10 may contribute to future clinical therapy.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most lethal subtype of breast cancers (BrCas), in which the higher frequency of cancer stem cells (CSCs) correlates with a dismal prognosis. Despite the current standard cure modalities, such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, most TNBC patients inevitably suffer from drug resistance and tumor recurrence. Therefore, a better understanding of the molecular basis for TNBC progression is urgently needed to discover new and more effective therapeutic targets for patients. CD44 is a major adhesion molecule and has been implicated in various biological behaviors, such as cell differentiation and cell motility, as well as tumor growth and metastasis (1Zöller M.

CD44: from adhesion molecules to signalling regulators.Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell Biol. 2003; 4: 33-45Crossref PubMed Scopus (1871) Google Scholar). The human CD44 gene consists of 19 exons and undergoes extensive alternative splicing that generates two families of isoforms, the standard CD44 form (CD44s) and the variant CD44 isoforms (CD44v). In contrast to the ubiquitous expression of CD44s, CD44v, which contains one or more variant exons, seems to be restricted to subpopulations endowed with stem cell potential and tumor development. Among CD44v, CD44v10-containing isoforms encompass a group of isoforms, such as CD44v8-10, CD44v3-10, and CD44v2-10, which have been identified as the most abundant variants (2Ponta H. Sherman L.

Liu X. et al.CD44 splice isoform switching determines breast cancer stem cell state.Genes Dev. 2019; 33: 166-179Crossref PubMed Scopus (96) Google Scholar). It has also been reported that CD44v10-containing isoforms are involved in regulating metastasis, stemness, and chemoresistance of several cancers (4Bourguignon L.Y. Gunja-Smith Z. Iida N. Zhu H.B. Young L.J. Muller W.J. et al.CD44v(3,8-10) is involved in cytoskeleton-mediated tumor cell migration and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP-9) association in metastatic breast cancer cells.J.

Blockade of CD44v10 could downregulate the expressions of all isoforms containing exon-v10 and consequently delay tumor growth and metastasis (7Guo Q. Liu Y. He Y. Du Y. Zhang G. Yang C. et al.CD44 activation state regulated by the CD44v10 isoform determines breast cancer proliferation.Oncol. Rep. 2021; 45: 7Crossref PubMed Scopus (2) Google Scholar, 8Iida J. Clancy R.

Therefore, targeting CD44v10-positive cancer cells arises as a promising cancer therapy option. However, the question of whether it is CD44v10 alone or CD44v10 cooperates with its related isoforms together that influences cancer behaviors remains unanswered. In this study, we first demonstrated that CD44v10 is preferentially expressed in TNBC patients and correlates with tumor progression. Next, we generated a breast cancer cell line transfected with CD44v10 cDNA and identified that glycolysis-related genes were significantly upregulated in response to CD44v10 overexpression. As reported before, abnormal glycolysis metabolism is usually adopted by CSCs, such as glucose uptake, glycolytic enzyme expression, and lactate production which are elevated in CSCs as compared with their differentiated offspring (10Sancho P.

Moreover, certain CD44v isoforms, such as CD44v3, CD44v6, and CD44v8-10, could act as CSCs markers and play critical roles in promoting the properties of CSCs (5Lau W.M. Teng E. Chong H.S. Lopez K.A.

These findings raise the possibility that CD44v10 may be involved in regulating the stem-like features. We next performed transcriptomic analysis and determined that CD44v10 enhances glycolysis through glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) upregulation, which could maintain TNBC cells stem-like properties and confer paclitaxel (PTX) resistance. Notably, silencing of GLUT1 could markedly suppress the enhanced effects of CD44v10 on glycolysis and stem-like properties. Taken together, our findings suggested that CD44v10 could promote BrCas stemness individually without cooperating with other CD44 variants. The underneath mechanism of CD44v10-GLUT1 may point to CD44v10 as a specific therapeutic target to the clinic in TNBC. To investigate the potential role of CD44v10 in BrCas, we first analyzed its expression in a cohort of 25 paired BrCas tissues. The of showed that CD44v10 were elevated in cancer Next, to the CD44v10 and BrCas we CD44v10 expressions molecular by which contains of BrCas, of BrCas with and of that CD44v10 expression significantly elevated in TNBCs compared with that in and BrCas an role of CD44v10 in the of were by several human cell that CD44v10 expression higher in TNBC cell and human breast cells we analyzed the CD44v10 and in cohort 1 and cohort patients.
