The mouse polyoma virus induces a broad array of solid tumors in mice of many inbred strains. In most strains tumors grow rapidly but fail to metastasize. An exception has been found in the Czech-II/Ei mouse in which bone tumors metastasize regularly to the lung. These tumors resemble human osteosarcoma in their propensity for pulmonary metastasis. Cell lines established from these metastatic tumors have been compared with ones from non-metastatic osteosarcomas arising in C3H/BiDa mice. Osteopontin, a chemokine implicated in migration and metastasis, is known to be transcriptionally induced by the viral middle T antigen. Czech-II/Ei and C3H/BiDa tumor cells expressed middle T and secreted osteopontin at comparable levels as the major chemoattractant. The tumor cell lines migrated equally well in response to recombinant osteopontin as the sole attractant. An important difference emerged in assays for invasion in which tumor cells from Czech-II/Ei mice were able to invade across an extracellular matrix barrier while those from C3H/BiDa mice were unable to invade. Invasive behavior was linked to elevated levels of the metalloproteinase MMP-2 and of the transcription factor NFAT. Inhibition of either MMP-2 or NFAT inhibited invasion by Czech-II/Ei osteosarcoma cells. The metastatic phenotype is dominant in F1 mice. Osteosarcoma cell lines from F1 mice expressed intermediate levels of MMP-2 and NFAT and were invasive. Osteosarcomas in Czech-II/Ei mice retain functional p53. This virus-host model of metastasis differs from engineered models targeting p53 or pRb and provides a system for investigating the genetic and molecular basis of bone tumor metastasis in the absence of p53 loss. The oncogenic mouse polyoma virus and its mutants have previously been used to investigate viral determinants of tumor induction using a standard inbred mouse strain as a common host. Here we use wild type virus to investigate the role of the host genetic background, focusing on two host strains that differ with respect to bone tumor metastasis. Comparing osteosarcoma cell lines from these mice, we have identified a molecular pathway that underlies invasive behavior in vitro and correlates with metastasis in vivo. The pathway involves secretion of the metalloproteinase MMP-2 under partial control of NFAT as a transcriptional regulator. This virus-host system reflects an important feature of human osteosarcoma with respect to pulmonary metastasis. Based on naturally occurring differences among inbred mice, the model differs from genetically engineered models targeting p53 or pRb as known risk factors in the human disease. Here, metastatic osteosarcomas retain functional p53. As noted by others, the frequency of p53 loss in patients with localized versus metastatic disease is the same, suggesting that events beyond p53 loss are important in metastasis. While the downstream effectors of metastasis in the genetically engineered models remain unknown, evidence presented here implicates upregulation of an NFAT → MMP-2 pathway in the development of metastatic osteosarcoma.
