Melanoma patients with oncogenic BRAFV600E mutation have poor prognoses. While the role of BRAFV600E in tumorigenesis is well established, its involvement in invasion that is clinically observed in melanoma patients, remains a topic of debate. Here we show that BRAFV600E melanoma cells have extensive invasion activity as assayed by degradation of extracellular matrix, and generation of F-actin and cortactin foci that mediate membrane protrusion. Inhibition of BRAFV600E blocks melanoma cell invasion. In a BRAFV600E-driven murine melanoma model or in patients’ tumor biopsies, cortactin foci decrease upon inhibitor treatment. In addition, genome-wide expression analysis shows that a number of invadopodia-related genes are down-regulated after BRAFV600E inhibition. Mechanistically, BRAFV600E induces phosphorylation of cortactin and the exocyst subunit Exo70 through ERK, which regulates actin dynamics and matrix metalloprotease secretion, respectively. Our results provide support for the role of BRAFV600E in metastasis, and suggest that inhibiting invasion is a potential therapeutic strategy against melanoma.
