Abstract
Modulations in cell surface receptor ectodomain proteolytic shedding impact on receptor function and cancer biomarker expression. As such, heavily pursued therapeutic avenues have exploited LDL receptor-related protein-1 (LRP-1)-mediated capacity in internalizing Angiopep-2 (An2), a brain-penetrating peptide that allows An2–drug conjugates to cross the blood–brain tumor barrier (BBTB). Given that LRP-1 is proteolytically shed from the cell surface through matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity, the balance between MMP expression/function and LRP-1-mediated An2 internalization is unknown. In this study, we found that membrane type-1 (MT1)-MMP expression increased from grade 1 to 4 brain tumors, while that of LRP-1 decreased inversely. MMP pharmacological inhibitors such as Ilomastat, Doxycycline and Actinonin increased in vitro An2 internalization by up to 2.5 fold within a human grade IV-derived U87 glioblastoma cell model. Transient siRNA-mediated MT1-MMP gene silencing resulted in increased basal An2 cell surface binding and intracellular uptake, while recombinant MT1-MMP overexpression reduced both cell surface LRP-1 expression as well as An2 internalization. The addition of Ilomastat to cells overexpressing recombinant MT1-MMP restored LRP-1 expression at the cell surface and An2 uptake to levels comparable to those observed in control cells. Collectively, our data suggest that MT1-MMP expression status dictates An2-mediated internalization processes in part by regulating cell surface LRP-1 functions. Such evidence prompts preclinical evaluations of combined MMP inhibitors/An2–drug conjugate administration to potentially increase the treatment of high-MT1-MMP-expressing brain tumors.
