    Fig. 1. <t>ADAM15-dependent</t> mechano-induced downregulation of lncRNA H19 is affected by inhibition of p21-activated kinases (PAKs). (A, B) Synovial fibroblasts either silenced with an ADAM15 siRNA or a non-silencing negative siRNA were mechanically strained (1 Hz and 15% elongation) for 1–9 h and H19 levels determined by RT-qPCR. (A) Fold changes of H19 in ADAM15-expressing versus non-expressing cells were calculated using the 2−ΔΔCt. Shown is the mean ± SD of 6 different RASFs. (B) time course of GAPDH- normalized Ct values for H19 upon mechanical strain, showing increase of Ct values (i.e. lower H19 amounts) in ADAM15 expressing cells (black dots) compared to ADAM15 non-expressing cells (open circle) in one representative RASF cell line. (C) RT-qPCR for H19 of RASFs stimulated for 1 and 3 h in the presence of either DMEM medium, or inhibitors for JNK (SP600125), Src family kinases (dasatinib), CAMKII (KN- 93), calmodulin (TFP) and PAKs (IPA-3). **p < 0.005, ***p < 0.0005, Student’s t-test, comparing ADAM15- expressing versus non-expressing cells or inhibitor versus DMEM.

    Fig. 8. CDH11-mediated increased cell invasion can be blocked by CDH11 silencing and transfection with miR-130a-3p mimics. (A, B) RASFs were treated with H19 siRNA or negative nonsilencing siRNA (N) and (A) MTT-based cell viability assays and (B) cells transmigrated through matrigel were stained with DAPI, the whole transwell photographed and all cells counted. (C) upper panel, invaded cells prior transfected with 130a- 3p mimics, CDH11 siRNA or scramble control, shown is the mean ± SD from 5 different RASFs. (C) lower panel, immunoblots for CDH11 from cells transfected and strained as in upper panel. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.005, ***p < 0.0005, Student’s test. (D) diagram of summarized results: mechanical strain results in NCAD/ADAM15- mediated phosphorylation of PAK2, resulting in the downregulation of lncRNA H19 and miR-130a-3p and subsequent upregulation of CDH11, which in turn promotes an aggressive phenotype: increased cell invasion. Inhibition of PAK signaling by PAK inhibitor IPA-3 blocks mechano-induced H19 downregulation and subsequently CDH11 upregulation. In addition, mechano-induced PAK2 phosphorylation is accompanied by recruitment of SH2/SH3 adapter Nck and PAK2 to the NCAD/ADAM15 complex, but binding of Nck/PAK2 is restricted to the cytoplasmic domain of ADAM15. The mechano-induced redistribution of PAK2 to the cell membrane does not occur when Nck is silenced.

(D) diagram of summarized results: mechanical strain results in NCAD/ADAM15- mediated phosphorylation of PAK2, resulting in the downregulation of lncRNA H19 and miR-130a-3p and subsequent upregulation of CDH11, which in turn promotes an aggressive phenotype: increased cell invasion. Inhibition of PAK signaling by PAK inhibitor IPA-3 blocks mechano-induced H19 downregulation and subsequently CDH11 upregulation. In addition, mechano-induced PAK2 phosphorylation is accompanied by recruitment of SH2/SH3 adapter Nck and PAK2 to the NCAD/ADAM15 complex, but binding of Nck/PAK2 is restricted to the cytoplasmic domain of ADAM15. The mechano-induced redistribution of PAK2 to the cell membrane does not occur when Nck is silenced.

(A, B) RASFs were treated with H19 siRNA or negative nonsilencing siRNA (N) and (A) MTT-based cell viability assays and (B) cells transmigrated through matrigel were stained with DAPI, the whole transwell photographed and all cells counted. (C) upper panel, invaded cells prior transfected with 130a- 3p mimics, CDH11 siRNA or scramble control, shown is the mean ± SD from 5 different RASFs.

(D) diagram of summarized results: mechanical strain results in NCAD/ADAM15- mediated phosphorylation of PAK2, resulting in the downregulation of lncRNA H19 and miR-130a-3p and subsequent upregulation of CDH11, which in turn promotes an aggressive phenotype: increased cell invasion. Inhibition of PAK signaling by PAK inhibitor IPA-3 blocks mechano-induced H19 downregulation and subsequently CDH11 upregulation. In addition, mechano-induced PAK2 phosphorylation is accompanied by recruitment of SH2/SH3 adapter Nck and PAK2 to the NCAD/ADAM15 complex, but binding of Nck/PAK2 is restricted to the cytoplasmic domain of ADAM15. The mechano-induced redistribution of PAK2 to the cell membrane does not occur when Nck is silenced.

    Figure Lengend Snippet: Impacts of ADAM15 on the expression of apoptosis-related proteins and EMT-related proteins. ( A ) Functional enrichment analyses indicated that overexpression of ADAM15 was associated with apoptosis. ( B ) Functional enrichment analyses indicated that overexpression of ADAM15 was related to focal adhesion. ( C ) Flow cytometry analysis indicated that the siRNA-transfected in SMMC-7721 cells significantly induced apoptosis. ( D ) Flow cytometry analysis indicated that the overexpression of ADAM15 in HepG2 cells significantly suppressed apoptosis. ( E ) Comparison of apoptosis-related protein expression between the control group and siRNA3 group in SMMC-7721 cells. ( F ) Comparison of apoptosis-related protein expression between the control group and overexpression of ADAM15 group in HepG2 cell. ( G ) Comparison of EMT-related protein expression between the control group and siRNA3 group in SMMC-7721 cells. ( H ) Comparison of EMT-related protein expression between the control group and overexpression of ADAM15 group in HepG2 cells.
