Rhabdomyosarcomas (RMS) express CXCR4 and CXCR7 receptors that bind prometastatic α-chemokine stromal derived factor-1. In this report we analyzed the activity of both promoters in a model of less metastatic human embryonal-RMS cell line (RD) and more metastatic alveolar-like RMS (RD cells transduced with Paired box gene 3/forkhead homolog - PAX3-FKHR fusion gene). First, CXCR4 is barely detectable on RD and becomes upregulated on RD/PAX3-FKHR cells. In contrast, CXCR7 highly expressed on RD becomes downregulated in RD/PAX3-FKHR cells. Next, promoter deletion and mutation studies revealed that while: i) expression of CXCR4 in RD and RD/PAX3-FKHR cells required nuclear respiratory factor-1 (NRF-1) binding site and ii) was additionally upregulated by direct interaction of NRF-1 with PAX3-FKHR, CXCR7 promoter activity required a proximal nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) binding motif. The requirement of these factors for CXCR4 and CXCR7 promoter activities was additionally supported after blocking NRF-1 and NF-κB. Furthermore, CXCR4 expression in PAX3-FKHR+ RMS cells seems to be enhanced because of the interaction of PAX3-FKHR and NRF-1 proteins in the proximal part of the promoter that prevents access of the negative regulator of transcription YY1 to its binding site. Finally, while hypoxia enhances CXCR4 and CXCR7 promoter activity and receptor expression on RD cells, it inhibits CXCR7 expression in RD/PAX3-FKHR cells. In conclusion, SDF-1 binding receptors CXCR4 and CXCR7 are differently regulated in RMS cells. The upregulation of CXCR4 and downregulation of CXCR7 expression by PAX3-FKHR or hypoxia may give SDF-1 an advantage to better engage the CXCR4 receptor, thus increasing RMS motility.
