Compensatory growth of organs after loss of their mass and/or function is controlled by hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), but the underlying regulatory mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we show that CUB domain-containing protein 1 (CDCP1) promotes HGF-induced compensatory renal growth. Using canine kidney cells as a model of renal tubules, we found that HGF-induced temporal up-regulation of Src activity and its scaffold protein, CDCP1, and that the ablation of CDCP1 robustly abrogated HGF-induced phenotypic changes, such as morphological changes and cell growth/proliferation. Mechanistic analyses revealed that up-regulated CDCP1 recruits Src into lipid rafts to activate STAT3 associated with the HGF receptor Met, and activated STAT3 induces the expression of matrix metalloproteinases and mitogenic factors. After unilateral nephrectomy in mice, the Met-STAT3 signaling is transiently up-regulated in the renal tubules of the remaining kidney, whereas CDCP1 ablation attenuates regenerative signaling and significantly suppresses compensatory growth. These findings demonstrate that CDCP1 plays a crucial role in controlling compensatory renal growth by focally and temporally integrating Src and Met signaling.

AbstractHepatocyte growth factor (HGF) controls various biological responses, including morphogenesis, organ regeneration, and cancer invasion, by activating its receptor, Met. However, the mechanisms that precisely control diverse Met signaling remain unclear. Here, we identified CUB domain-containing protein 1 (CDCP1) as a crucial element of HGF signaling. In MDCK cysts, HGF induced Src activation via CDCP1 upregulation, and CDCP1 ablation abrogated HGF responses, i.e., extended invasive cell protrusions and promoted cell growth/proliferation. Mechanistically, CDCP1 upregulation promoted Src recruitment into lipid rafts to activate Met-associated STAT3. In breast cancer cells in which Met and CDCP1 were co-upregulated, CDCP1 knockdown suppressed HGF-induced cell invasion. Furthermore, in vivo analysis showed that CDCP1 ablation suppressed compensatory renal growth by attenuating Met–STAT3 signaling. These findings demonstrate that CDCP1 plays a crucial role in controlling HGF responses by integrating Src and Met-STAT3 signaling, and provide new insights into the regulatory mechanisms underlying the multifaceted functions of HGF.

ABSTRACT. Unilateral nephrectomy of the adult animal results in compensatory renal growth but does not involve formation of new nephrons. It is not clear whether compensatory growth can occur during the period of active nephrogenesis in utero and if so, whether more nephrons can be formed. Male ovine fetuses (n = 20) underwent unilateral nephrectomy (n = 10) or sham nephrectomy (n = 10) at 100 d of gestation (term, 150 d). After 27 to 34 d, ewes and fetuses were killed and the right kidney of each fetus was removed and weighed. The wet weight of the right kidney was greater in the unilaterally nephrectomized fetuses (16.3 ± 1.3 g compared with 12.2 ± 0.7 g; mean ± SEM, P < 0.05) as was the kidney to body weight ratio (5.2 ± 0.3 g/kg compared with 3.8 ± 0.2 g/kg; P < 0.001). Nephron number in the right kidney was estimated by an unbiased stereologic technique. There was a 45% increase in the number of nephrons in the kidneys from unilaterally nephrectomized animals compared with the kidneys from sham-operated animals (530,763 ± 37,136 nephrons in the unilaterally nephrectomized group compared with 365,672 ± 36,016 nephrons in the sham-operated group; P < 0.01). Mean glomerular volume was lower in the unilaterally nephrectomized group; however, total glomerular volume per kidney was not different between groups. This study demonstrates that there is a significant amount of compensatory growth and nephron endowment in a remaining kidney after unilateral nephrectomy during the period of active nephrogenesis in the sheep. This is the first time such events have been shown to occur in utero.
