Abstract

Polyserase-1/TMPRSS9 is a type II transmembrane serine protease showing a complex molecular architecture characterized by the presence of three tandem serine protease domains in its amino acid sequence. This protease is widely expressed in mouse and human tissues, however, its functional significance is unknown in both normal and pathological conditions. In the present study, we evaluated the possible role of polyserase-1 in cancer progression. First, we showed that polyserase-1 increased the invasive capacities of PANC-1 and SK-PC-3 pancreatic cancer cells. Moreover, the presence of polyserase-1 enhanced anchorage-independent growth and diminished the adhesion capability of PANC-1 cells to different extracellular matrix components. These effects were mediated by the efficient conversion of pro-uPA to active uPA and high phosphorylation levels of ERK detected in the PANC-1 cells expressing exogenous polyserase-1. Collectively, our data suggest that polyserase-1 may be involved in cancer progression and, similarly to what has been proposed for the closely related serine proteases matriptase and TMPRSS4, inhibition of TMPRSS9 activity may contribute to the inhibition of tumor growth.
