Patients with metastatic disease face high rates of mortality with a paucity of therapeutic options. Protein-based therapeutics provides advantages over traditional chemotherapy through increased specificity, decreased immune responses and more direct means of delivery. However, development is often hindered due to insufficient knowledge regarding proteolytic processing by cells when exogenously applied. This study focuses on recombinant Maspin (rMaspin), a serine protease inhibitor (SERPINB5), which alters invasive properties when directly applied to cancer cells. Previous evidence suggests differences in the effects of rMaspin treatment when compared to endogenous re-expression, with little explanation for these discrepancies. A leading hypothesis is that exogenously applied rMaspin is subject to different regulatory and/or processing mechanisms in cancer cells when compared to endogenous expression. Therefore, a more detailed understanding of the mechanisms of internalization and subcellular trafficking of rMaspin is needed to guide future translational development. We describe the molecular trafficking of rMaspin in cytoplasmic vesicles of the endosomal/lysosomal pathway and characterize its uptake by multiple endocytic mechanisms. Time-lapse laser scanning confocal microscopy shows the uptake, in real-time, of dye labeled rMaspin in cancer cells. This study indicates that cellular processing of rMaspin plays a key role affecting its biological activity and highlights the need for new approaches aimed at increasing the availability of rMaspin when used to treat cancer.
