Metastasis is the final stage of tumor progression and is thought to be responsible for up to 90% of deaths associated with solid tumors. Caveolin-1 (CAV1) regulates multiple cancer-associated processes related to malignant tumor progression. In the present study we tested the hypothesis that CAV1 modulates the metastatic ability of ESFT cells. First, we analyzed the expression of CAV1 by immunostaining a tissue microarray containing 43 paraffin-embedded ESFT tumors with known EWS translocations. Even though no evidence was found for a significant association between CAV1 expression and stage, size or tumor site, all metastatic samples (10/10) had significantly high CAV1 expression, suggesting that high CAV1 content could positively contribute to enhance ESFT metastasis. To determine the effect of CAV1 on the migratory and invasive capabilities of ESFT cells, we knocked down CAV1 expression in TC252 and A673 cells by stably transfecting a previously validated shRNA construct. In vitro, migration and invasion assays showed that, for both cell lines CAV1 knocked-down cells migrated and invaded significantly less (p≤0.01) than control cells. Moreover, control A673 cells introduced into Balb/c nude mice by tail vein injection strongly colonized the lungs. In contrast, animals injected with CAV1 knocked-down cells showed either no incidence of metastasis or developed lung metastases after a significant delay (P<0.0001). Finally, we show that the molecular mechanisms by which CAV1 carries out its key role in regulating ESFT metastasis involve MMP production and activation as well as the control of the expression of SPARC, a known determinant of lung colonization.
