MUC16/CA125 is over-expressed in human epithelial tumors including ovarian, breast and some other carcinomas. The purpose of this study is to investigate how cell surface MUC16 is functionally involved in tumor progression, with a special focus on the role of its cytoplasmic tail. Forced expression of C-terminal MUC16 fragment (MUC16C) in epithelial cancer cells increased cell migration. We found that MUC16C directly interacted with Src family kinases (SFKs). Notably, localizations of E-cadherin and beta-catenin at the cell-cell contacts were more diffuse in MUC16C transfectants compared with mock transfectants. Furthermore, MUC16C transfectants showed reduced Ca2+-dependent cell-cell adhesion, but the treatment of cells with PP2, a SFKs inhibitor, restored this. Because cell surface MUC16 is also associated with the E-cadherin/beta-catenin complex, the over-expression of MUC16 and its interaction with SEKs may enhance SFKs-induced deregulation of E-cadherin. Thus, our results suggest a role for cell surface MUC16 in cell-cell adhesion of epithelial cancer cells. (C) 2013 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.
