TY - JOUR AB - Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) act as signaling co-receptors by interaction of their sulfated glycosaminoglycan chains with numerous signaling molecules. In breast cancer, the function of heparan sulfate 2-O-sulfotransferase (HS2ST1), the enzyme mediating 2-O-sulfation of HS, is largely unknown. Hence, a comparative study on the functional consequences of HS2ST1 overexpression and siRNA knockdown was performed in the breast cancer cell lines MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231. HS2ST1 overexpression inhibited Matrigel invasion, while its knockdown reversed the phenotype. Likewise, cell motility and adhesion to fibronectin and laminin were affected by altered HS2ST1 expression. Phosphokinase array screening revealed a general decrease in signaling via multiple pathways. Fluorescent ligand binding studies revealed altered binding of fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2) to HS2ST1-expressing cells compared with control cells. HS2ST1-overexpressing cells showed reduced MAPK signaling responses to FGF-2, and altered expression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), E-cadherin, Wnt-7a, and Tcf4. The increased viability of HS2ST1-depleted cells was reduced to control levels by pharmacological MAPK pathway inhibition. Moreover, MAPK inhibitors generated a phenocopy of the HS2ST1-dependent delay in scratch wound repair. In conclusion, HS2ST1 modulation of breast cancer cell invasiveness is a compound effect of altered E-cadherin and EGFR expression, leading to altered signaling via MAPK and additional pathways.
