c-Cbl is an E3 ubiquitin ligase of many tyrosine kinase receptors. We previously detected c-Cbl mutation and low protein expression in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Therefore, we hypothesized that the overexpression of c-Cbl wild type (WT) may exhibit tumor inhibition. Wound healing and transwell assays were conducted to examine cell motility after c-Cbl WT transfection in NSCLC cell lines. Cell cycle was investigated by flow cytometry. A549 and H1299-luc c-Cbl WT xenograft and experimental metastasis model were performed to investigate tumor growth and metastasis inhibition in vivo. Wound healing and transwell assays showed inhibition of migration in A549 and H226br cells 4-24 hr post-transfection. Ectopic c-Cbl WT expression reduced cell proliferation at 48 hr in A549 cells. Importantly, A549 and H1299-luc cells with ectopic c-Cbl WT expression showed inhibition of tumor growth in vivo. A549 cells overexpressing c-Cbl WT inhibited tumor metastasis in animal models. Our study demonstrates for the first time that c-Cbl WT protein overexpression inhibits tumor metastasis and tumor growth in lung cancer xenograft models. Our results provide evidence that ectopic expression of c-Cbl WT protein can be potentially applied as targeted therapy for lung cancer treatment.
