Crizotinib is a clinically approved tyrosine kinase inhibitor for the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring EML4-ALK fusion. Crizotinib was originally developed as an inhibitor of MET (HGF receptor), which is involved in the metastatic cascade. However, little is known about whether crizotinib inhibits tumor metastasis in NSCLC cells. In this study, we found that crizotinib suppressed TGFβ signaling by blocking Smad phosphorylation in an ALK/MET/RON/ROS1-independent manner in NSCLC cells. Molecular docking and in vitro enzyme activity assays showed that crizotinib directly inhibited the kinase activity of TGFβ receptor I through a competitive inhibition mode. Cell tracking, scratch wound, and transwell migration assays showed that crizotinib simultaneously inhibited TGFβ- and HGF-mediated NSCLC cell migration and invasion. In addition, in vivo bioluminescence imaging analysis showed that crizotinib suppressed the metastatic capacity of NSCLC cells. Our results demonstrate that crizotinib attenuates cancer metastasis by inhibiting TGFβ signaling in NSCLC cells. Therefore, our findings will help to advance our understanding of the anticancer action of crizotinib and provide insight into future clinical investigations. Investigating the activity of an existing anticancer drug shows that it can limit metastasis (cancer spread) in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Aberrant signaling from the transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) protein is known to trigger metastasis in NSCLC. The drug crizotinib is clinically approved for NSCLC, but whether it can affect metastasis is unclear. Ju-Hong Jeon (Seoul National University College of Medicine), Sang-Yeob Kim (ASAN Medical Center, Seoul) and co-workers used cell cultures and a mouse model to examine if crizotinib can inhibit TGFβ. Crizotinib suppressed TGFβ signaling by blocking the phosphorylation of a critical protein and inhibiting the enzymatic activity of a TGFβ receptor. These actions reduced the cell migration and invasion usually mediated by TGFβ. The results also indicate that cancer signaling pathways can act independently, meaning that a multitarget approach may improve treatment.
