Melanoma arises through complex genetic and epigenetic changes resulting in uncontrolled proliferation, invasion and metastatic disease. Semaphorins are critical regulators of axon guidance through interaction with their receptors, Plexins and neuropilins. Aberrant expression of Plexin receptors is been linked with progression of a variety of tumors. Plexin B1, the Semaphorin 4D receptor, activates the oncogenic receptors c-Met and ErbB-2, leading to speculation that it promotes tumor growth through stimulation of these receptors. We show that Plexin B1 is lost in metastatic melanoma and in deeply invasive primary tumors in vivo. Introduction of Plexin B1 into a human metastatic melanoma cell line suppressed proliferation, enhanced migration, stimulated Akt activation, and rendered cells resistant to cis-platin induced apoptosis. Unexpectedly, Plexin B1 inhibited c-Met by up to 54% in response to the c-Met ligand, hepatocyte growth factor, with a concordant loss of phosphorylation of the c-Met substrate, Gab1. Loss of Plexin B1 is predicted to function as a classic tumor suppressor protein in melanomas in which progression is c-Met dependent. However, because Plexin B1 activates Akt, and suppresses apoptosis, Plexin B1 likely plays a complex role in melanoma progression, and may be a predictive marker for tumor sensitivity to chemotherapeutic agents.
