BACKGROUND: The calcium sensing receptor (CaSR), a calcium-binding G
protein-coupled receptor is expressed also in tissues not directly involved in
calcium homeostasis like the colon. We have previously reported that CaSR
expression is down-regulated in colorectal cancer (CRC) and that loss of CaSR
provides growth advantage to transformed cells. However, detailed mechanisms
underlying these processes are largely unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS: In a cohort
of 111 CRC patients, we found significant inverse correlation between CaSR
expression and markers of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), a process
involved in tumor development in CRC. The colon of CaSR/PTH double-knockout, as
well as the intestine-specific CaSR knockout mice showed significantly increased
expression of markers involved in the EMT process. In vitro, stable expression of
the CaSR (HT29(CaSR)) gave a more epithelial-like morphology to HT29 colon cancer
cells with increased levels of E-Cadherin compared with control cells
(HT29(EMP)). The HT29(CaSR) cells had reduced invasive potential, which was
attributed to the inhibition of the Wnt/?-catenin pathway as measured by a
decrease in nuclear translocation of ?-catenin and transcriptional regulation of
genes like GSK-3? and Cyclin D1. Expression of a spectrum of different
mesenchymal markers was significantly down-regulated in HT29(CaSR) cells. The
CaSR was able to block upregulation of mesenchymal markers even in an
EMT-inducing environment. Moreover, overexpression of the CaSR led to
down-regulation of stem cell-like phenotype. CONCLUSIONS: The results from this
study demonstrate that the CaSR inhibits epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and
the acquisition of a stem cell-like phenotype in the colon of mice lacking the
CaSR as well as colorectal cancer cells, identifying the CaSR as a key molecule
in preventing tumor progression. Our results support the rationale to develop new
strategies either preventing CaSR loss or reversing its silencing.
