Abstract

Phosphatase of regenerating liver-3 (PRL-3), also termed PTP4A3, is a metastasis-related protein tyrosine phosphatase. Its expression levels are significantly correlated with the progression and survival of a wide range of malignant tumors. However, the mechanism by which PRL‑3 promotes tumor invasion and metastasis is not clear. In the present study, the functions of PRL‑3 were systemically analyzed in the key events of metastasis including, motility and adhesion. A cell wounding assay, cell spread assay and cell‑matrix adhesion assay were carried out to analyze the cell movement and cell adhesion ability of colon cancer, immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence assay was confirmed the interaction of PRL‑3 and JAM2. It was demonstrated that PRL‑3 promoted the motility of Flp‑In‑293 and LoVo colon cancer cells and increased the distribution of cell skeleton proteins on the cell protrusions. In addition, stably expressing PRL‑3 reduced the spreading speed of colon cancer cells and cell adhesion on uncoated, fibronectin-coated and collagen Ⅰ‑coated plates. Mechanistically, junction adhesion molecular 2 (JAM2) was identified as a novel interacting protein of PRL‑3. The findings of the present study revealed the roles of PRL‑3 in cancer cell motility and adhesion process, and provided information on the possibility of PRL-3 increase cell-cell adhesion by associating with JAM2.
