Src family kinases (SFKs) are involved in regulating a multitude of biological processes including cell adhesion, migration, proliferation and survival, depending on the cellular context. Therefore, although SFKs are currently being investigated as potential targets for treatment strategies in various cancers, the biological responses to inhibition of SFK signaling in any given tumor type are not predictable. Dasatinib (BMS-354825) is a dual Src/Abl kinase inhibitor with potent antiproliferative activity against hematologic malignancies harboring activated BCR-ABL. In this study, we show that dasatinib blocks migration and invasion of human melanoma cells without affecting proliferation and survival. Moreover, dasatinib completely inhibits SFK kinase activity at low nanomolar concentrations in all 8 human melanoma cell lines investigated. In addition, two known downstream targets of SFKs, focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and Crk-associated substrate (p130CAS), are inhibited with similar concentrations and kinetics. Consistent with inhibition of these signaling pathways and invasion, dasatinib down-regulates expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9). We also provide evidence that dasatinib directly inhibits kinase activity of the EphA2 receptor tyrosine kinase, which is overexpressed and/or overactive in many solid tumors including melanoma. Thus, Src family kinases and downstream signaling are implicated as having key roles in migration and invasion of melanoma cells.
