Abstract

The extracellular matrix (ECM) plays an important role in maintaining tissue homeostasis and poses a significant physical barrier to in vivo cell migration. Accordingly, as a means of enhancing tissue invasion, tumor cells use matrix metalloproteinases to degrade ECM proteins. However, the in vivo ECM is comprised not only of proteins but also of a variety of nonprotein components. Hyaluronan (HA), one of the most abundant nonprotein components of the interstitial ECM, forms a gel-like antiadhesive barrier that is impenetrable to particulate matter and cells. Mechanisms by which tumor cells penetrate the HA barrier have not been addressed. Here, we demonstrate that transmembrane protein 2 (TMEM2), the only known transmembrane hyaluronidase, is the predominant mediator of contact-dependent HA degradation and subsequent integrin-mediated cell–substrate adhesion. We show that a variety of tumor cells are able to eliminate substrate-bound HA in a tightly localized pattern corresponding to the distribution of focal adhesions (FAs) and stress fibers. This FA-targeted HA degradation is mediated by TMEM2, which itself is localized at site of FAs. TMEM2 depletion inhibits the ability of tumor cells to attach and migrate in an HA-rich environment. Importantly, TMEM2 directly binds at least two integrins via interaction between extracellular domains. Our findings demonstrate a critical role for TMEM2-mediated HA degradation in the adhesion and migration of cells on HA-rich ECM substrates and provide novel insight into the early phase of FA formation.

Hyaluronan (HA) is a high–molecular weight polysaccharide belonging to the family of glycosaminoglycans. It is a long unbranched polymer composed of repeating disaccharide units of a N-acetylglucosamine and a glucuronic acid, with a molecular weight reaching as high as 107 Da (1Laurent T.C. Fraser J.R. Hyaluronan.FASEB J. 1992; 6: 2397-2404Crossref PubMed Scopus (2012) Google Scholar). Because of its highly hydrophilic nature, HA has an extremely large hydrodynamic volume in solution and assumes semiflexible secondary and tertiary conformations based on intramolecular and intermolecular hydrogen bonding (2Scott J.E. Heatley F. Hyaluronan forms specific stable tertiary structures in aqueous solution: A 13C NMR study.Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S.

Viscoelastic properties of hyaluronan in physiological conditions.F1000Res. 2015; 4: 622Crossref PubMed Scopus (114) Google Scholar). Furthermore, HA associates with a variety of matrix proteins and proteoglycans, such as aggrecan-type chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans and link proteins (4Day A.J. Prestwich G.D. Hyaluronan-binding proteins: Tying up the giant.J. Biol. Chem. 2002; 277: 4585-4588Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (447) Google Scholar), to form higher-order complexes of extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules. Because of these unique properties, HA exerts a profound influence on the biomechanical properties of the ECM. Most notably, HA forms a gel-like meshwork that is permeable to small molecules but impermeable to particulate matter, including cells (5Bard J.B. McBride W.H. Ross A.R.

Toole B.P. Pericellular coat of chick embryo chondrocytes: Structural role of hyaluronate.J. Cell Biol. 1984; 99: 2114-2122Crossref PubMed Scopus (54) Google Scholar). While HA coated on a glass or plastic substrate can mediate weak attachment of cells that express HA receptors, such as CD44, high levels of HA in the extracellular and pericellular space act as a repulsive barrier to cell adhesion and migration. This antiadhesive effect is primarily because of steric exclusion by the thick, impermeable, and gel-like HA matrix, which is impenetrable to particles and cells, preventing the engagement of cell surface adhesion receptors with their ECM ligands (8Toole B.P. Hyaluronan in morphogenesis.Semin. Cell Dev. Biol. 2001; 12: 79-87Crossref PubMed Scopus (414) Google Scholar, 9Knudson W.

HA accumulation is especially prominent in tumors that exhibit desmoplastic reactivity (11Voutouri C. Stylianopoulos T.

It has been shown that HA deposited in the stroma of adenocarcinomas is produced predominantly by stromal cells, rather than by neoplastic tumor cells (13Stern R.
