PG - 11470-11480 LID - S0021-9258(20)31569-6 [pii] LID - 10.1074/jbc.RA118.001872 [doi] AB - Signaling activated by binding of the CXC motif chemokine ligand 12 (CXCL12) to its cognate G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), chemokine CXC motif receptor 4 (CXCR4), is linked to metastatic disease. However, the mechanisms governing CXCR4 signaling remain poorly understood. Here, we show that endocytosis and early endosome antigen 1 (EEA1), which is part of the endosome fusion machinery, are required for CXCL12-mediated AKT Ser/Thr kinase (Akt) signaling selective for certain Akt substrates. Pharmacological inhibition of endocytosis partially attenuated CXCL12-induced phosphorylation of Akt, but not phosphorylation of ERK-1/2. Similarly, phosphorylation of Akt, but not ERK-1/2, stimulated by CXCL13, the cognate ligand for the chemokine receptor CXCR5, was also attenuated by inhibited endocytosis. Furthermore, siRNA-mediated depletion of the Rab5-effector EEA1, but not of adaptor protein, phosphotyrosine-interacting with PH domain and leucine zipper 1 (APPL1), partially attenuated Akt, but not ERK-1/2, phosphorylation promoted by CXCR4. Attenuation of Akt phosphorylation through inhibition of endocytosis or EEA1 depletion was associated with reduced signaling to Akt substrate forkhead box O1/3a but not the Akt substrates TSC complex subunit 2 or glycogen synthase kinase 3beta. This suggested that endocytosis and endosomes govern discrete aspects of CXCR4- or CXCR5-mediated Akt signaling. Consistent with this hypothesis, depletion of EEA1 reduced the ability of CXCL12 to attenuate apoptosis in suspended, but not adherent, HeLa cells. Our results suggest a mechanism whereby compartmentalized chemokine-mediated Akt signaling from endosomes suppresses the cancer-related process known as anoikis. Targeting this signaling pathway may help inhibit metastatic cancer involving receptors such as CXCR4. CI - (c) 2018 English et al.
