Progesterone receptor potentiates macropinocytosis through CDC42 in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
© 2024. The Author(s)..
Endocrine receptors play an essential role in tumor metabolic reprogramming and represent a promising therapeutic avenue in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). PDAC is characterized by a nutrient-deprived microenvironment. To meet their ascendant energy demands, cancer cells can internalize extracellular proteins via macropinocytosis. However, the roles of endocrine receptors in macropinocytosis are not clear. In this study, we found that progesterone receptor (PGR), a steroid-responsive nuclear receptor, is highly expressed in PDAC tissues obtained from both patients and transgenic LSL-KrasG12D/+; LSL-Trp53R172H/+; PDX1-cre (KPC) mice. Moreover, PGR knockdown restrained PDAC cell survival and tumor growth both in vitro and in vivo. Genetic and pharmacological PGR inhibition resulted in a marked attenuation of macropinocytosis in PDAC cells and subcutaneous tumor models, indicating the involvement of this receptor in macropinocytosis regulation. Mechanistically, PGR upregulated CDC42, a critical regulator in macropinocytosis, through PGR-mediated transcriptional activation. These data deepen the understanding of how the endocrine system influences tumor progression via a non-classical pathway and provide a novel therapeutic option for patients with PDAC.
