Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and its type II receptor AMHR2, both previously thought to primarily function in gonadal tissue, were unexpectedly identified as potent regulators of TGF-β/BMP signaling and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in lung cancer. AMH is a TGF-β/BMP superfamily member, and AMHR2 heterodimerizes with type I receptors (ALK2, ALK3) also used by the type II receptor for BMP (BMPR2). AMH signaling regulates expression of BMPR2, ALK2 and ALK3, supports AKT-NFκB and SMAD survival signaling, and influences BMP-dependent signaling in NSCLC. AMH and AMHR2 are selectively expressed in epithelial versus mesenchymal cells, and loss of AMH/AMHR2 induces EMT. Independent induction of EMT reduces expression of AMH and AMHR2. Importantly, EMT associated with depletion of AMH or AMHR2 results in chemoresistance, but sensitizes cells to the HSP90 inhibitor ganetespib. Recognition of this AMH/AMHR2 axis helps to further elucidate TGF-β/BMP resistance-associated signaling and suggests new strategies for therapeutic targeting of EMT. Beck et al. identify active signaling by the TGF-β/BMP superfamily member anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and its receptor AMHR2 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), demonstrating a role for AMH/AMHR2 in influencing the basal and BMP-dependent SMAD signaling that constrains epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and regulating drug resistance.
