The extracellular matrix (ECM) distinctly modulates membrane type 1-matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) in human endothelial cells (ECs). Herein, ECM-dependent RhoA activation is shown to regulate MT1-MMP localization and activity as well as clathrin-independent internalization in confluent ECs. In this regard, caveolae are revealed as the major MT1-MMP endocytic pathway in human ECs. Thus, MT1-MMP is present at caveolae with caveolin-1 and both proteins together with αvβ3 integrin colocalize at endothelial motility-associated extensions. Remarkably, caveolae traffic is required for proper MT1-MMP localization, activity, and function in migratory ECs as demonstrated by both treatment with caveolae-disrupting agents or selective targeting caveolin-1 expression by interference RNA. Thus, caveolae-mediated traffic constitutes a novel mechanism for MT1-MMP regulation in ECs during angiogenesis.

Regulation of membrane-type 1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) by different extracellular matrices (ECMs) on human endothelial cells (ECs) has been investigated. First, MT1-MMP is found at the intercellular contacts of confluent ECs grown on β1 integrin–dependent matrix such as type 1 collagen (COL I), fibronectin (FN), or fibrinogen (FG), but not on gelatin (GEL) or vitronectin (VN). The novel localization of MT1-MMP at cell–cell contacts is assessed by confocal videomicroscopy of MT1-MMP-GFP–transfected ECs. Moreover, MT1-MMP colocalizes with β1 integrins at the intercellular contacts, whereas it is preferentially found with αvβ3 integrin at motility-associated structures on migrating ECs. In addition, clustered integrins recruit MT1-MMP and neutralizing anti-β1 or anti-αv integrin mAb displace MT1-MMP from its specific sites, pointing to a biochemical association that is finally demonstrated by coimmunoprecipitation assays. On the other hand, COL I, FN, or FG up-regulate cell surface MT1-MMP on confluent ECs by an impairment of its internalization, whereas expression and internalization are not modified on GEL or VN. In addition, MT1-MMP activity is diminished in confluent ECs on COL I, FN, or FG. Finally, MT1-MMP participates and cooperates with β1 and αvβ3 integrins in the migration of ECs on different ECM. These data show a novel mechanism by which ECM regulates MT1-MMP association with β1 or αvβ3 integrins at distinct cellular compartments, thus modulating its internalization, activity, and function on human ECs.

We have recently shown that stimulation of endothelial cells with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) induces dissociation of caveolin-1 from the VEGFR-2 receptor, followed by Src family kinase-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of the protein (Labrecque, L., Royal, I., Surprenant, D. S., Patterson, C., Gingras, D., and Béliveau, R. (2003)Mol. Biol. Cell14, 334–347). In this study, we provide evidence that the VEGF-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of caveolin-1 induces interaction of the protein with the membrane-type 1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP). This interaction requires the phosphorylation of caveolin-1 on tyrosine 14 by members of the Src family of protein kinases, such as Src and Fyn, because it is completely abolished by expression of a catalytically inactive Src mutant or by site-directed mutagenesis of tyrosine 14 of caveolin-1. Most interestingly, the association of MT1-MMP with phosphorylated caveolin-1 induced the recruitment of Src and a concomitant inhibition of the kinase activity of the enzyme, suggesting that this complex may be involved in the negative regulation of Src activity. The association of MT1-MMP with phosphorylated caveolin-1 occurs in caveolae membranes and involves the cytoplasmic domain of MT1-MMP because it was markedly reduced by mutation of Cys574and Val582residues of the cytoplasmic tail of the enzyme. Most interestingly, the reduction of the interaction between MT1-MMP and caveolin-1 by using these mutants also decreases MT1-MMP-dependent cell locomotion. Overall these results indicate that MT1-MMP associates with tyrosine-phosphorylated caveolin-1 and that this complex may play an important role in MT1-MMP regulation and function.

Proteolysis of the basement membrane and interstitial matrix occurs early in the angiogenic process and requires matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity. Skeletal muscle microvascular endothelial cells exhibit robust actin stress fibers, low levels of membrane type 1 (MT1)-MMP expression, and minimal MMP-2 activation. Depolymerization of the actin cytoskeleton increases MT1-MMP expression and MMP-2 activation. Rho family GTPases are regulators of actin cytoskeleton dynamics, and their activity can be modulated in response to angiogenic stimuli such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Therefore, we investigated their roles in MMP-2 and MT1-MMP production. Endothelial cells treated with H1152 [an inhibitor of Rho kinase (ROCK)] induced stress fiber depolymerization and an increase in cortical actin. Both MMP-2 and MT1-MMP mRNA increased, which translated into greater MMP-2 protein production and activation. ROCK inhibition rapidly increased cell surface localization of MT1-MMP and increased PI3K activity, which was required for MMP-2 activation. Constitutively active Cdc42 increased cortical actin polymerization, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity, MT1-MMP cell surface localization, and MMP-2 activation similarly to inhibition of ROCK. Activation of Cdc42 was sufficient to decrease RhoA activity. Capillary sprout formation in a three-dimensional collagen matrix was increased in cultures treated with RhoAN19 or Cdc42QL and, conversely, decreased in cultures treated with dominant negative Cdc42N17. VEGF stimulation also induced activation of Cdc42 while inhibiting RhoA activity. Furthermore, VEGF-dependent activation of MMP-2 was reduced by inhibition of Cdc42. These results suggest that Cdc42 and RhoA have opposing roles in regulating cell surface localization of MT1-MMP and MMP-2 activation.

Abstract Membrane type 1–matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) is involved in endothelial and tumor-cell migration, but its putative role in leukocyte migration has not been characterized yet. Here, we demonstrate that anti–MT1-MMP monoclonal antibody (mAb) impaired monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1)–stimulated monocyte migration on fibronectin (FN), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1). In addition, monocyte transmigration through tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)–activated endothelium is also inhibited by anti–MT1-MMP mAb. Therefore, regulation of MT1-MMP in human peripheral blood monocytes was investigated. First, MT1-MMP clustering was observed at motility-associated membrane protrusions of MCP-1–stimulated monocytes migrating on FN, VCAM-1, or ICAM-1 and at the leading edge, together with profilin, of monocytes transmigrating through activated endothelial cells. In addition, up-regulation of MT1-MMP expression was induced in human monocytes upon attachment to FN in a manner dependent on α4β1 and α5β1 integrins. Binding of monocytes to TNF-α–activated human endothelial cells as well as to VCAM-1 or ICAM-1 also resulted in an increase of MT1-MMP expression. These findings correlated with an enhancement of MT1-MMP fibrinolytic activity in monocytes bound to FN, VCAM-1, or ICAM-1. Our data show that MT1-MMP is required during human monocyte migration and endothelial transmigration and that MT1-MMP localization, expression, and activity are regulated in monocytes upon contact with FN or endothelial ligands, pointing to a key role of MT1-MMP in monocyte recruitment during inflammation.

Membrane-type 1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) is a membrane-associated MMP that has been recently reported to have a central role in tumour cell invasion. Here we report that both the native and overexpressed recombinant forms of MT1-MMP are highly enriched in low-density Triton X-100-insoluble membrane domains that contain the caveolar marker protein caveolin 1. Moreover, the MT1-MMP-dependent activation of proMMP-2 induced by concanavalin A and cytochalasin D was correlated with the processing of MT1-MMP to its proteolytically inactive 43kDa fragment in U-87 glioblastoma and HT-1080 fibrosarcoma tumour cell lines; this processing was also preferentially observed within the caveolar fraction. Interestingly, whereas the expression of caveolin 1had no effect on the MT1-MMP-dependent activation of proMMP-2, its co-expression with MT1-MMP antagonized the MT1-MMP-increased migratory potential of COS-7 cells. Taken together, our results provide evidence that MT1-MMP is preferentially compartmentalized and proteolytically processed in caveolae of cancer cells. The inhibition of MT1-MMP-dependent cell migration by caveolin 1 also suggests that the localization of MT1-MMP to caveolin-enriched domains might have an important function in the control of its enzymic activity.
