N2 - BACKGROUND: The Coxsackie and adenovirus receptor (CAR) has been shown to inhibit cancer cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. The underlying mechanisms, however, are poorly understood. METHODS: The differential gene expression in the human colon cancer cell line DLD1 on RNAi-mediated functional CAR knockdown was analysed using oligo-array technology. Expression of alpha-catenin was determined by quantitative RT-PCR and western blotting. Proliferation, migration, and invasion after CAR knockdown were assessed by in vitro assays, and cell morphology in a three-dimensional context was evaluated using matrigel. RESULTS: Oligo-array technology identified alpha-catenin as the strongest downregulated gene after CAR knockdown. Western blotting and quantitative RT-PCR confirmed a reduced alpha-catenin expression after CAR knockdown in DLD1 cells and in the rat intestinal cell line IEC-6. Functionally, both cell lines showed a marked increase in proliferation, migration, and invasion on CAR knockdown. In matrigel, both cell lines formed amorphous cell clusters in contrast to well-organised three-dimensional structures of CAR-expressing vector controls. Ectopic 're'-expression of alpha-catenin in DLD1 and IEC-6 CAR knockdown cells reversed these functional and morphological effects. CONCLUSION: These data suggest that an interaction of CAR and alpha-catenin mediates the impact of CAR on cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and morphology.
