Abstract

FRMD6, a member of the 4.1 ezrin–radixin–moesin domain-containing protein family, has been reported to inhibit tumor progression in multiple cancers. Here, we demonstrate the involvement of FRMD6 in lung cancer progression. We find that FRMD6 is overexpressed in lung cancer tissues relative to in normal lung tissues. In addition, the enhanced expression of FRMD6 is associated with poor outcomes in patients with lung squamous cell carcinoma (n = 75, P = 0.0054) and lung adenocarcinoma (n = 94, P = 0.0330). Cell migration and proliferation in vitro and tumor formation in vivo are promoted by FRMD6 but are suppressed by the depletion of FRMD6. Mechanistically, FRMD6 interacts and colocalizes with mTOR and S6K, which are the key molecules of the mTOR signaling pathway. FRMD6 markedly enhances the interaction between mTOR and S6K, subsequently increasing the levels of endogenous pS6K and downstream pS6 in lung cancer cells. Furthermore, knocking out FRMD6 inhibits the activation of the mTOR signaling pathway in Frmd6−/− gene KO MEFs and mice. Altogether, our results show that FRMD6 contributes to lung cancer progression by activating the mTOR signaling pathway.

Fig.1  Elevated FRMD6 predicts poor outcomes in lung cancer. (A, B) FRMD6 mRNA levels in LUSC and LUAD were evaluated by analyzing the TCGA RNA sequence data set (TCGA, PanCancer Atlas). FRMD6 mRNA was significantly higher in LUSC (n = 49, P = 9e−13) and LUAD (n = 57, P = 9.1e−7) than in adjacent tissues. (C) FRMD6 levels were detected by IHC in human normal lung and lung cancer tissues with the anti-FRMD6 antibody. Representative images of 1+ (low expression) and 2+ and 3+ (strong expression) of FRMD6 are shown. Scale bars: 50 μm. (D) Semiquantitative analyses were performed to evaluate the FRMD6 levels in LUSC and LUAD samples relative to those in normal lung tissues. **** P < 0.0001, Student’s t-test. (E) Kaplan–Meier analyses were performed on patients with LUSC and LUAD with the high expression (≥2+ ) and low expression ( < 2+ ) of FRMD6. FRMD6 was found to predict the poor outcome of lung cancer in LUSC through the logrank test at P = 0.0054 and in LUAD through the logrank test at P = 0.0330.

Fig.3  FRMD6 interacts with mTOR signaling pathway proteins. (A) HEK-293T cells expressing Flag-FRMD6 were lysed and used for immunoprecipitation then subjected to Coomassie brilliant blue staining. The results indicated that FRMD6 interacts with mTOR. (B) Mass spectrometry molecules with abundance ratios (Flag-FRMD6/Flag) greater than 4 were screened for KEGG pathway enrichment analysis. The top 10 pathways indicated that FRMD6 significantly regulates the mTOR signaling pathway. (C) HEK-293T (left) and H1299 cells (right) were transfected with Flag or Flag-FRMD6, subjected to Co-IP with the Flag-antibody, then subjected to WB with the indicated antibodies. The mTOR signaling pathway members mTOR, S6K, and S6 were all proven to interact with FRMD6. (D) Co-IP assays were performed by using lysates from HEK-293T cells with control IgG or anti-FRMD6 antibody. Then, WB was performed with anti-mTOR, anti-S6K, and anti-S6 antibodies. (E) H1299 cells were transfected with Flag-FRMD6 and subjected to double immunostaining with anti-Flag mouse (green) and anti-mTOR rabbit (red). (F) HeLa cells were subjected to double immunostaining with anti-Flag mouse (green) and anti-S6K rabbit (red), then visualized with confocal microscopy (Zeiss LSM 780 with Airyscan). The magnification of selected areas is shown (enlarged). White arrows show yellow points indicating colocalization. Scale bars: 5 μm.
Fig.4  FRMD6 contributes to the activation of the mTOR signaling pathway. (A) H1299 cells transfected with Flag or Flag-FRMD6 and the activation of the mTOR signaling pathway proteins mTOR, pmTOR, S6K, pS6K, S6, and pS6 were detected with specific antibodies. FRMD6 was found to promote the activation of the mTOR signaling pathway. (B, C) FRMD6 was knocked down by transfecting specific siRNAs into H1299, A549, SW480, and PANC1 cells. The activation of mTOR signaling pathway proteins was detected with the indicated antibodies. (D) Vector- or CRISPR/Cas9-mediated FRMD6 KO in H1299 cells followed by WB with the indicated antibodies. The loss of FRMD6 was found to inactivate the mTOR signaling pathway. (E) HEK-293T and H1299 cells were co-transfected with Flag or Flag-FRMD6 and HA-S6K; subjected to Co-IP with the HA antibody; then used for WB with the indicated mTOR, S6, Flag, and HA antibodies. FRMD6 was found to promote the combination between mTOR and S6K. (F) Top: FRMD6 and mTOR signaling pathway protein levels were examined in the indicated lung cancer cell lines by WB. Bottom: qualification for (F). Data are presented as mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05 by Student’s t-test. FRMD6 high: H23, H1299. FRMD6 low: A549, H157, Calu-3.

(C) Genotype ratios of born mice (n = 604) after mating FRMD6 heterozygote mice. P < 0.0001, chi-square test. (D) Gross morphology of WT and Frmd6 KO mice at day 12. Compared with WT mice, KO mice were dramatically underdeveloped, thin, and small. (E) Representative WB analysis of mTOR signaling pathway protein levels in WT and Frmd6 KO MEFs (E13.5) with the indicated antibodies. (F) Representative WB analysis of mTOR signaling pathway protein levels in the heart, spleen, and ovarian tissues of WT and KO mice with the indicated antibodies. FRMD6 KO was found to inhibit the mTOR signaling pathway in vivo.
Fig.6  FRMD6 is positively correlated with mTOR signaling activation in lung cancer. (A) Expression of FRMD6 and p-S6 in LUAD and human normal lung tissues detected via IHC analysis. Representative images of 3+ (strong expression), 2+ (moderate expression), 1+ (low expression), and 0 (negative) are shown. Scale bars: 50 μm. (B) Working model: FRMD6, as a scaffold protein, promotes the combination of mTOR with S6K to stimulate the phosphorylation of S6K, then promotes cell proliferation and lung cancer progression. By contrast, the low expression of FRMD6 inhibits the phosphorylation of the mTOR cascade, as well as cell proliferation and migration and lung cancer progression.
