Almost all primary prostate cancers (PCs) and PC cell lines express calcitonin (CT) and/or its receptor (CTR), and their co-expression positively correlates with their invasiveness. Activation of the CT CTR axis in non-invasive LNCaP cells induces an invasive phenotype. In contrast, silencing of CT/CTR expression in highly metastatic PC 3M cells markedly reduces their tumorigenicity and abolishes their ability to form distant metastases in nude mice. Our recent studies suggest that CTR interacts with zonula occludens 1 (ZO-1) through PDZ interaction to destabilize tight junctions and increase invasion of PC cells. Our results show that CTR activates AKAP2-anchored cAMP-dependent protein kinase A, which then phosphorylates tight junction proteins ZO-1 and claudin 3. Moreover, PICA-mediated phosphorylation of tight unction proteins required CTR-ZO-1 interaction, suggesting that the interaction may bring CTR-activated PICA in close proximity of tight junction proteins. Furthermore, inhibition of PICA activity attenuated CT-induced loss of TJ functionality and invasion, suggesting that the phosphorylation of TJ proteins is responsible for TJ disassembly. Finally, we show that the prevention of CTR-ZO-1 interaction abolishes CT-induced invasion, and can serve as a novel therapeutic tool to treat aggressive prostate cancers. In brief, the present study identifies the significance of CTR-ZO-1 interaction in progression of prostate cancer to its metastatic form.
