Among the pro-inflammatory mediators, platelet-activating factor (PAF, 1-O-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphorylcholine) is a major primary and secondary messenger involved in intra and extra cellular communication. Evidence suggests that PAF plays a significant role in oncogenic transformation, tumor growth, angiogenesis and metastasis. However, PAF, with its receptor (PAFR) and their downstream signaling targets have not been thoroughly studied in cancer. Here, we characterized the PAFR expression pattern in 4 normal human ovarian surface epithelial cell lines (HOSE), 13 ovarian cancer cell lines, paraffin blocks (n=84) and tissue microarrays (n=230) from ovarian cancer patients. Overexpression of PAFR was found in most non-mucinous types of ovarian cancer but not in HOSE and mucinous cancer cells. Correspondingly, PAF significantly induced cell proliferation and invasion only in PAFR-positive cells (i.e. OVCA429 and OVCA432), but not in PAFR-negative ovarian cells (HOSE and mucinous RMUG-L). Dependency of cell proliferation and invasion on PAFR was further confirmed using PAFR specific siRNA gene silencing probes, antibodies against PAFR and PAFR antagonist, ginkgolide B. Using quantitative multiplex phospho-antibody array technology, we found that tyrosine phosphorylation of EGFR/Src/FAK/Paxilin were coordinately activated by PAF treatment, which was correlated with activation of PI3K and cyclin D1, as markers for cell proliferation, and MMP2 and MMP9 for invasion. Specific tyrosine Src inhibitor (PP2) reversibly blocked PAF-activated cancer cell proliferation and invasion. We suggest that PAFR is an essential upstream target of Src and other signal pathways to control the PAF-mediated cancer progression.
