Abstract

Objective

CD147 is an important glycoprotein that participates in the progression of diverse cancers. This study aims to explore the specific function of CD147 in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and to reveal related downstream molecular mechanisms.

Methods

Followed by silencing of CD147, the viability, migration, invasion, and apoptosis of LUAD cells were measured by CCK8, wound healing, transwell assay, and flow cytometer, respectively. The expression of CD147 and two markers of lipid metabolism (FASN and ACOX1) were detected by qRT-PCR. A xenograft tumor model was constructed to investigate the function of CD147 in vivo. Then transcriptome sequencing was performed to explore the potential mechanisms. After measuring the expression of Rap1 and p-p38 MAPK/p38 MAPK by western blot, the changes of CD147 and lipid metabolism markers (FASN, ACOX1) was detected by Immunohistochemistry. Moreover, a Rap1 activator and a Rap1 inhibitor were applied for feedback functional experiments.

Results

CD147 was up-regulated in LUAD cells, and its silencing inhibited cell proliferation, migration, invasion, lipid metabolism dysregulation and promoted apoptosis, while overexpression of CD147 showed the opposite results. Silencing of CD147 also inhibited the growth of tumor xenografts in mice. Transcriptome sequencing revealed 834 up-regulated differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 602 down-regulated DEGs. After functional enrichment, the Rap1 signaling pathway was selected as a potential target, which was then verified to be blocked by CD147 silencing. In addition, the treatment of Rap1 activator weakened the inhibiting effects of si-CD147 on the proliferation, migration, invasion, and lipid metabolism in LUAD cells, while the intervention of RAP1 inhibitor showed the opposite results.

Conclusions

Silencing of CD147 inhibited the proliferation, migration, invasion, lipid metabolism dysregulation and promoted apoptosis of LUAD cells through blocking the Rap1 signaling pathway.

Introduction

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a common form of lung cancer, making up to approximately 85% proportion [1]. Adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and large cell carcinoma all belong to NSCLC [2]. Among them, lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the most common histological type and the main cause of cancer death worldwide [3]. The main treatment options for LUAD include surgical resection, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and molecular targeted therapy, but the prognosis usually performs poorly. Therefore, it is necessary to explore novel targets for LUAD treatment.
CD147, also known as extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer, is a kind of glycoprotein that is involved in the regulation of extracellular matrix remodeling [4]. Via regulating glycolysis, matrix degradation, metastasis, and angiogenesis, CD147 exerts a critical role in the diverse types of cancers, which is considered a diagnostic and therapeutic target [5]. Previous researches have determined the diagnostic and prognostic potential of CD147 in lung cancer. CD147 accelerates osteoclast formation induced by lung cancer via regulating IL-8 secretion [6]. Up-regulation of CD147 in NSCLC is positively related to TNM stage, lymph node metastasis, and poor overall survival [7], and CD147 contributes to a poor response to cisplatin treatment and a poor prognosis in patients with advanced NSCLC [8]. Similarly, CD147 and MMP-2 can be used as an objective marker for predicting SCC and LUAD [9]. In addition, CD147 enhances glucose metabolism in LUAD, which may be a promising therapeutic target for LUAD [10]. However, researches on the action mechanisms of CD147 in LUAD is rare.
As a conserved telomere-interacting protein, Rap1 acts a key regulator in integrin- and cadherin-related processes [11]. Rap1 is closely involved in oncogenesis, progression, and chemoresistance in human cancers, acting as a tumor promoter [12]. Evidence has also determined that the activated Rap1 signaling pathway can promote tumor progression. For example, Mex3a enhances cell proliferation and invasion through activating the RAP1/MAPK signaling pathway in colorectal cancer [13]. GREM1 accelerates the migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition of NSCLC cells via activating the Rap1 signaling pathway [14]. However, it is still unknown whether CD147 regulates Rap1 signaling pathway in LUAD.
The dysregulation of lipid metabolism is a prominent metabolic abnormality in cancer [15]. Because the enhancement of lipid uptake, storage, and lipogenesis contributes to tumor growth, lipid metabolism reprogramming is considered as a potential therapeutic target for cancer [16]. A previous study has determined that CD147 reprograms fatty acid metabolism via regulating Akt/mTOR/SREBP1c and P38/PPARα pathways, which is related to the proliferation and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma cells [17]. In this research, the regulatory role of CD147 on lipid metabolism was also analyzed in LUAD. The Rap1 signaling pathway identified by transcriptome sequencing was selected as a research target, which may be involved in the action mechanisms of CD147 in LUAD. Our study was designed to reveal the specific function and related mechanisms of CD147 in LUAD, providing potential therapeutic targets.

Materials and methods

Cell culture and treatments

Two LUAD cell lines (A549 and H1299) and a normal human lung epithelial cell line(BEAS-2B) were purchased from ATCC (Manassas, VA, USA). LUAD cells were cultured in DMEM containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), and BEAS-2B cells were cultured in Epithelial Cell Culture Medium containing 10% FBS. Two siRNAs targeting CD147(si-CD147-1 and si-CD147-2) and corresponding negative control (si-NC) were synthesized from Ribobio (Guangzhou, China). The overexpression vector of CD147 (ov-CD147) and corresponding negative control (ov-NC) were purchased from Ribobio. The sequences of siRNAs were shown in Table 1. LUAD cells were transfected with siRNAs and the overexpression vectors for 48 h using Lipofectamine 3000 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). si-CD147-transfected A549 cells also received the treatment of a Rap1 activator (8-pCPT-2’-O-Me-cAMP; Univ, Shanghai, China) and a Rap1 inhibitor (GGTI298, Univ) for another 30 min.

Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR)

Total RNAs were extracted from cells by lysing in TRIzol reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific). After quantified by a microplate reader (Multiskan SkyHigh, Thermo Fisher Scientific) referring to the optical density (OD) at 260/280 nm, the RNAs were reversely transcribed into cDNAs using a cDNA Reverse Transcription Kit (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA). qRT-PCR was run on ABI7500 (Applied Biosystems) using the following program of 95°C for 10 min, and 36 cycles of 95°C for 10 s and 60°C for 30 s. The expression level was calculated by the 2−∆∆Ct method. GAPDH was used as an internal control. The primers were synthesized from TaKaRa (Dalian, China) and the sequences were shown in Table 1.

Cell counting Kit-8 (CCK8) assay

The viability of LUAD cells was detected using a CCK8 kit (Solarbio, Beijing, China) following the instructions. Briefly, LUAD cells that seeded in 96-well plates at a density of 1 × 104/well were cultured for 0, 24, 48, 72, and 96 h, respectively. Cells that collected at different time points were then treated with CCK8 reagent for 2 h. The OD at 450 nm was finally measured under a microplate reader (Thermo Fisher Scientific).

Wound healing assay

The migration of LUAD cells was measured by wound healing assay. Briefly, LUAD cells that seeded in 6-well plates were cultured until complete attachment. A wound gap was then made on the plate using a pipette tip. Followed by removing the cell debris, cells were subsequently cultured for 24 h. The wound distance that measured at 0 and 24 h post-wounding was used for evaluating cell migration.

Trans-well assay

The invasion of LUAD cells was measured using trans-well assay (Corning, Kenneburg, ME, USA). Briefly, the upper chamber was per-coated with matrigel and then filled with LUAD cells at a density of 2 × 105/chamber. The lower chamber was filled with DMEM containing 15% FBS. At 24 h post-culturing, cells in the lower chamber were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and stained with 0.5% crystal violet. Finally, invasive cells with violet staining were counted under a microscope (Olympus, Japan).

Apoptosis test

According to the instructions of manufacturer, LUAD cells were collected and incubated with Annexin V-FITC and propidium iodide (Solarbio) for 15 min. The fluorescence intensity of the cells was detected by flow cytometry and the apoptosis rate of LUAD cells was evaluated.

Lentivirus infection

Lentivirus harboring LV-siCD147-1 (LV-CD147) and LV-siNC (LV-NC) were generated by GeneChem Co., Ltd (Shanghai, China). A549 cells (2 × 106) were seeded in 10 cm dish, and then infected with lentivirus carrying the siRNA or NC at MOI value of 10. After 72 h of 1 µg/mL puromycin selection, A549 cells were collected for qRT-PCR analysis.

Establishment of xenograft tumor model in mice

Total 12 BALB/c nude mice at 6 weeks old (Shanghai Institute of Material Medical, Shanghai, China) were used for model establishment. Briefly, A549 cells stably transfected with LV-CD147 or LV-NC were injected subcutaneously into the right flank of mice (N = 6 each group) to conduct a LUAD model as previous reported [18]. The tumor volume was measured every week. After the last measurement at the 4th week, mice were anesthetized via intraperitoneal injection of pentobarbital sodium (50 mg/kg) and immediately sacrificed by cervical dislocation. The removed tumor xenografts were weighed and collected for subsequent experiments. The animal experiments were approved by the local ethical committee following the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals.

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis

The tissue was fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, embedded in paraffin and sectioned. The paraffin-embedded sections were dewaxed and rehydrated, and EDTA was used for antigen repair. At room temperature, sections were incubated with 3% H2O2 to quench endogenous peroxidase activity. Afterwards, samples were blocked with BSA and incubated overnight at 4℃ with specific primary antibodies, including anti-CD147 (ab212057, 1:200, Abcam, Cambridge, USA), anti-ACOX1 (ab184032, 1:200, Abcam), anti-FASN (ab128856, 1:200, Abcam). Later, samples were incubated for 1 h at 37°C with HRP-labeled goat anti-Rabbit secondary antibodies. The samples were then dyed with DAB and hematoxylin before sealing.

Western blot

The protein samples were extracted from LUAD cells or tumor xenografts via lysing in RIPA buffer (Solarbio). After quantification, equal protein samples were separated by 10% SDS-PAGE, and transferred onto PDVF membrane (Millipore, Danvers, USA). After blocked with skim milk for 2 h, the membranes received another 12 h of incubation with primary antibodies, including anti-CD147, ACOX1, FASN, Rap1, p38 MAPK, p-p38 MAPK, and GAPDH (Abcam). After 2 h of incubation with HRP-conjugated IgG (Abcam), the blots in the membrane were visualized using an ECL kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and finally quantified using an Imaging Analysis System (Tanon5200, Shanghai, China).

Transcriptome sequencing analysis

Total RNAs isolated from A549 cells in the si-CD147 or si-NC groups were collected for transcriptome sequencing. Briefly, mRNAs were separated from total RNAs by polyA-selection and fragmented into fragments at 200–300 bp. The cDNA library (about 450 bp) constructed by mRNAs was then sequenced on Illumina Novaseq 6000 platform. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified according to |log2FoldChange| > 1 and P < 0.05, and clustered by Pheatmap. Gene ontology (GO) analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis were performed for functional enrichment of the isolated DEGs. In addition, a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was established using STRING with a confidence score of 0.15, which was visualized using Cytoscape.

Statistical analysis

The data generated in this study were analyzed using the software of Prism 8.0 (GraphPad, San Diego, CA, USA), presenting mean ± standard deviation. The comparisons between two groups were determined by t test, and those among multiple groups were determined by one-way ANOVA and subsequent Tukey’s test. P value less than 0.05 represented statistically significant.

Results

Silencing of CD147 inhibits the proliferation, migration, invasion, lipid metabolism and promotes apoptosis of LUAD cells

The mRNA expression of CD147 was detected in LUAD cells by qRT-PCR. There was a significantly higher mRNA expression of CD147 in A549/H1299 cells than that in BEAS-2B cells (P < 0.01; Fig. 1A). To evaluate the function of CD147 in LUAD, CD147 was silenced in A549 and H1299 cells by the transfection of si-CD147-1/2 (P < 0.001). si-CD147-1 with a relatively high silencing efficiency was used for following assays (si-CD147) (Fig. 1B). Functional assays determined that the transfection of si-CD147 significantly decreased the viability, migration, and invasion of A549/H1299 cells, and promoted apoptosis rate (P < 0.001; Fig. 1C-F). In addition, silencing CD147 also decreased the mRNA expression of two key genes FASN and ACOX1, which are involved in lipid metabolism (P < 0.01; Fig. 1G).

Overexpression of CD147 promotes the proliferation, migration, invasion, lipid metabolism and inhibits apoptosis of LUAD cells

In order to further explore the function of CD147 in LUAD, CD147 was over expressed in A549 and H1299 cells by the transfection of ov-CD147 (P < 0.001). The overexpression efficiency of CD147 in LUAD cells was detected by western blot (Fig. 2A). The result of cell function assays showed that the transfection of ov-CD147 significantly increased the viability, migration, and invasion of A549/H1299 cells, while inhibited apoptosis compared to the control group (P < 0.001; Fig. 2C-E). Besides, overexpression of CD147 increased the mRNA expression of FASN and ACOX1 (P < 0.01; Fig. 2F).

Silencing of CD147 represses the growth of tumor xenografts in mice

A tumor xenograft model was constructed to determine the anti-tumor potential of silencing CD147 in vivo. As shown in Fig. 3A-C, mice treated with LV-CD147 presented significantly lower tumor volume and weight than mice treated with LV-NC (P < 0.001; Fig. 3A-C). The down-regulation of CD147 in tumor tissues was confirmed by western blot following injection of LV-CD147 (P < 0.01). In addition, silencing of CD147 also down-regulated FASN and ACOX1 in tumor tissues (P < 0.01; Fig. 3D-E).

Screening and functional enrichment of DEGs in CD147-silenced cells

To reveal the underlying action mechanisms of CD147 at the molecular level, transcriptome sequencing was performed in CD147-silenced cells. Total 1436 DEGs were determined, including 834 up-regulated and 602 down-regulated DEGs (Fig. 4A and B). The detailed information of the top 10 up-regulated/down-regulated DEGs were listed in Table 2.

The DEGs were subsequently annotated and classified to reveal their potential functions. Based on GO enrichment analysis, the DEGs were mainly enriched in chromosomal region, chromosome, CMG complex (cellular components, CC), single-stranded DNA helicase activity, protein binding, DNA helicase activity (molecular function, MF), cell cycle, DNA-dependent DNA replication (biological process, BP), etc. (Fig. 5A). The top 20 GO terms referring to the FDR value were listed in Fig. 4B. On the other hand, KEGG enrichment analysis revealed many signaling pathways were enriched, mainly including p53, TNF, NF-kB, Calcium, MAPK, PI3K-Akt, and Rap1 signaling pathways (Fig. 5C). Referring to the FDR values, the top 20 KEGG terms were listed in Fig. 5D.
Furthermore, a PPI network, including 46 hub genes was established (Fig. 6). Some of these hub genes exerted critical regulatory roles in the progression of LUAD, such as MCM2, CCNA2, KNTC1, POLE2, and KIAA0101.

Silencing of CD147 blocks the Rap1 signaling pathway in LUAD

As described above, the Rap1 signaling pathway was a potential downstream pathway of CD147 that enriched by DEGs. Since Rap1 signaling pathway participated in the progression of LUAD, whether CD147 could regulate Rap1 signaling pathway was verified. Then, we found that the protein expression of Rap1 and p-p38 MAPK/p38 MAPK was decreased by the intervention of si-CD147 (P < 0.01; Fig. 7), but not by the intervention of si-NC. These results indicated that the Rap1 signaling pathway was blocked by CD147 silencing in LUAD.

The effect of Rap1 signaling pathway on the regulation of CD147

To further confirm whether the regulatory mechanism of CD147 in LUAD was related to the Rap1 signaling pathway, a Rap1 activator and a Rap1 inhibitor were used to active and inhibit the Rap1 signaling pathway, respectively. The following functional assays showed that Rap1 activator significantly weakened the effects of si-CD147 on inhibiting the proliferation, migration, and invasion of A549 cells, while RAP1 inhibitor showed the opposite results (P < 0.001, Fig. 8A-C). Compared to the si-CD147 group, Rap1 activator significantly decreased apoptosis of A549 cells, while apoptosis of A549 cells was promoted in Rap1 inhibitor treated group (Fig. 8D). Similarly, Rap1 activator also significantly eliminated the role of si-CD147 on up-regulating FASN and ACOX1, and Rap1 inhibitor significantly reduced expression of FASN and ACOX1 compared with the si-CD147 group (P < 0.01, Fig. 8E).

Discussion

Until now, molecular targeted therapy has achieved great advantages in the treatment of a myriad of cancer types [19]. Massive molecules have been proved to exhibit the potential in inhibiting the growth, progression, and metastasis of LUAD [2023]. CD147 is a tumor-associated glycoprotein, which may also be a potential target for the treatment of LUAD. This research mainly focused on function and underlying action mechanisms of CD147 in LUAD. Our results showed an up-regulation of CD147 in LUAD cells. Silencing of CD147 inhibited the proliferation, migration, invasion, and lipid metabolism dysregulation of LUAD cells, as well as the growth of tumor xenografts in mice. In addition, the Rap1 signaling pathway was revealed as an action target of CD147 in LUAD.
CD147, also named as Bsg and EMMPRIN, is a transmembrane protein that widely expressed in a variety of cells, mainly including red cells, leucocytes, platelets, keratinocytes, and endothelial cells [24]. Via regulating T-cell activation, cell adhesion, cell metabolism, and extracellular matrix remodeling, etc., CD147 exerts multi-functions in various physiological and pathological processes, mainly including reproduction, neural function, inflammation, and cardiovascular diseases, etc. [4, 24, 25]. Notably, CD147 is closely involved in tumorigenesis and progression, and its overexpression has been shown to be a prognostic biomarker for more than 14 types of cancers in different organs, including the LUAD [5, 26]. Consistently, an up-regulation of CD147 in LUAD cells was revealed in this study. In addition, accumulating evidence has demonstrated that CD147 can enhance the proliferation, metastasis, glycolysis, and multi-drug resistance of cancer cells [2729]. Herein, silencing of CD147 suppressed the viability, migration, invasion and promoted apoptosis of two LUAD cell lines, while overexpression of CD147 showed the opposite results. Our results were consistent with previous literatures, and indicated that CD147 was an oncogene in LUAD. Moreover, in vivo experiments showed that silencing of CD147 also inhibited the growth of tumor xenografts, which further illustrated the therapeutic potential of CD147 silencing against LUAD.
In addition to the conventional malignant characteristics, silencing of CD147 also decreased the expression of FASN and ACOX1 both in vitro and in vivo. Since FASN and ACOX1 are two key genes involved in lipid metabolism, our result indicated an inhibiting role of CD147 silencing in lipid metabolism in LUAD. In tumor microenvironment, lipid metabolism is usually enhanced to support the aggravated malignant features of cancer cells [15]. Targeting lipid metabolism has become an attractive choice for cancer treatment [30]. Emerging evidence has determined that many molecules exhibit therapeutic potential against LUAD through inhibiting lipid metabolism, such as Anlotinib (a vascular endothelial growth factor receptor inhibitor) [31] and endothelial lipase gene [32]. To combine with our findings, we speculated that the inhibition of lipid metabolism may contribute to the role of CD147 silencing in inhibiting LUAD.
In this study, the downstream molecular mechanisms of CD147 in LUAD were further explored. Until now, a variety of signaling pathways has been revealed as the downstream targets of CD147 in diverse cancers, such as the Akt/mTOR/SREBP1c pathway in hepatocellular carcinoma [17], β-TrCP/Nrf2 pathway in glioma [33], MEK pathway in hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma [34], JAK/STAT pathway in breast cancer [35], and NF-kB pathway in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma [36]. In this research, total 1436 DEGs were screened by transcriptome sequencing, which were functionally enriched in diverse signaling pathways. The Rap1 signaling pathway closely associated with tumorigenesis was then selected as a research target. As a key regulator in cell adhesion and integrin function, Rap1 can initiate and sustain the ERK signaling to promote cancer progression [37]. Previous researches have confirmed the Rap1 signaling is activated in various malignancies, including prostate cancer [38], breast cancer [39], ovarian cancer [40], colon cancer [41], NSCLC [42], etc. In this study, silencing of CD147 led to the blocking of the Rap1 signaling pathway in LUAD cells, evidenced by the down-regulation of Rap1 and p-p38 MAPK/p38 MAPK. Jin et al. have shown that RBM10 suppresses the proliferation of LUAD cells through inhibiting the RAP1/AKT/CREB signaling pathway [43]. Similarly, GREM1 enhances the migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition of NSCLC cells through activating the Rap1 pathway [14]. Therefore, the blocking of the Rap1 pathway may make a great contribution to the anti-tumor outcomes. Herein, a Rap1 activator was further applied to confirm the regulatory relationship between CD147 and the Rap1 signaling pathway. As expected, Rap1 activator reversed the role of CD147 silencing on inhibiting the proliferation, migration, invasion, lipid metabolism and promoting apoptosis of A549 cells, and RAP1 inhibitor showed the opposite results. These phenomena further illustrated that silencing of CD147 may suppress the progression of LUAD via blocking the Rap1 signaling pathway.
In fact, this study also revealed many other signaling pathways that may also participated in the action mechanisms of CD147 in LUAD. Many hub genes discovered in the PPI network may also be the potential downstream targets of CD147. Further researches on more detailed mechanisms are still required. However, the findings of this study have some limitations. In this study, the investigation of CD147/Rap1 on lipid metabolism dysregulation is limited. Furthermore, the exact mechanism of Rap1 in LUAD needs to be further studied. In the future, the research on the effect of CD147/Rap1 on lipid metabolism in LUAD can be deeply excavated.

Conclusions

In conclusion, there was an up-regulation of CD147 in LUAD cells. Silencing of CD147 suppressed the proliferation, migration, invasion, and lipid metabolism dysregulation of LUAD cells, as well as the tumor xenograft growth in vivo. The Rap1 signaling pathway was a downstream target of CD147, and its blocking contributed to the anti-tumor outcomes in LUAD.
