We previously reported that Frizzled homologue 10 (FZD10), a member of the Wnt signal receptor family, was highly and specifically upregulated in synovial sarcoma and played critical roles in its cell survival and growth. We here report a possible molecular mechanism of the FZD10 signaling in synovial sarcoma cells. We found a significant enhancement of phosphorylation of the Dishevelled (Dvl)2/Dvl3 complex as well as activation of the Rac1-JNK cascade in synovial sarcoma cells in which FZD10 was overexpressed. Activation of the FZD10-Dvls -Rac1 pathway induced lamellipodia formation and enhanced anchorage-independent cell growth cells. FZD10 overexpression also caused the destruction of the actin cytoskeleton structure, probably through the down-regulation of the RhoA activity. Our results have strongly implied that FZD10 transactivation causes the activation of the non-canonical Dvl-Rac1-JNK pathway and plays critical roles in the development/progression of synovial sarcomas.
