    Figure 2. ColQ binds directly to the extracellular domain of LRP4. A, pull-down assays. Magnetic beads were conjugated with ColQ-Flag (+) or not (−) and were subsequently incubated with conditioned media (CM) of HEK 293T cells containing equal amounts of Myc-tagged ectodomain of LRP4 <t>(ectoLRP4-</t> Myc) or LRP6 (ectoLRP6-Myc) or with control medium (HEK 293T cells transfected with an empty vector). Precipitated proteins were analyzed by Western immunoblotting with anti-Myc antibodies. ColQ-Flag interacted with ectoLRP4-Myc but not with ectoLRP6-Myc. Inputs show that comparable amounts of ectoLRP4-Myc and ectoLRP6-Myc were incubated with the ColQ-coated beads; n = 3. B, same experiment as in (A) except that higher concentrations of ectoLRP6-Myc than ectoLRP4-Myc were tested. Even in these conditions, ColQ bound only to ectoLRP4 and not to ectoLRP6. C, uncoated (−) or ColQ-coated (+) beads were incubated with CM expressing ectoLRP4-AP or with ectoLRP4-AP purified from the CM. Purified ectoLRP4-AP bound to ColQ-Flag, indicating a direct interaction between ectoLRP4 and ColQ. D, magnetic beads conjugated with equal amounts of ectoLRP4-Myc and ectoLRP6-Myc were incubated with the same amount of enzymatic activity of purified AChE–ColQ (A12 asymmetric forms) or AChE (monomeric globular G1 forms). Bound AChE–ColQ or AChE was quantified by measuring AChE activity. Results are expressed as the mean ± SEM percentage normalized to the control value set as 100% (AChE– ColQ bound to control [CT] uncoated beads). n = 4; ****p < 0.0001, using two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison post hoc test.

    Figure 3. Surface plasmon resonance analysis of ColQ–LRP4 interaction. A, sensorgram of the binding of ColQ-Flag to a sensor chip covalently coated with anti-Flag antibodies to obtain a sensor surface covered with ColQ. Binding responses were measured using report points 30 s after the beginning of the dissociation phase and are indicated in RUs (resonance units). The level of immobilized ColQ reached about 3900 RU. Reference surface was obtained by injecting preparations from untransfected cells (CT) at the same protein concentration as ColQ-Flag preparations. B, 750 nM of purified ectoLRP4 (blue curve) or purified ectoMuSK (red curve) were passed over the ColQ-coated and reference surfaces. Sensorgrams represent the differential specific binding to ColQ after subtraction of the signals obtained on the reference surface. In contrast to ectoLRP4 (binding response of 23 RU), there was no binding of ectoMuSK to ColQ. C, sensorgram of the single-cycle kinetics. Five increasing (1.5-fold) concentrations (296, 444, 666, 1000, and 1500 nM) of purified ectoLRP4 were sequentially loaded on the ColQ-coated or reference surfaces without any regeneration step. Reference surface and drift signals were subtracted to obtain the accurate binding profiles. The black curve overlaid on the experimental data (blue curve) was obtained by fitting the binding profiles to a 1:1 binding model with drifting baseline. The association (kon) and dissociation (koff) constants were 9.64 ± 2.86 × 104 M−1 s−1 and 9.1 ± 2.89 × 10−3 s−1, respectively, corresponding to a Kd of 9.4 ± 0.19 × 10−8 M (n = 2). D, conditioned medium containing ectoLRP4-AP at 60 nM (ectoLRP4 CM) or a same dilution of a control conditioned medium (control CM) lacking ectoLRP4-AP, but containing AP at the same concentration, was injected over ColQ-coated and reference sur- faces. Sensorgrams display the differential specific binding to ColQ after subtraction of the signals obtained with the reference surface. The binding response for ectoLRP4 CM was substantially higher than for control CM (34 RU versus eight RU), revealing a specific binding of ectoLRP4 to ColQ.

    Figure 4. Comparison of ColQ binding to LRP4 and to MuSK. A, pull-down assays. Magnetic beads conjugated with ColQ-Flag (+) or not (−) were incubated with the same amounts of ectoLRP4-Myc or ectoMuSK-Myc as shown in the input. EctoLRP4-Myc but not ectoMuSK-Myc precipitated with ColQ- Flag; n = 3. B, same experiment as in (A) except that ColQ-coated beads were incubated with higher ectoMuSK-Myc than ectoLRP4-Myc concentrations. C, magnetic beads conjugated with equal amounts of ectoLRP4-Myc and ectoMuSK-Myc were incubated with the same amount of enzymatic activity of purified AChE–ColQ or AChE. Bound AChE–ColQ or AChE was quantified by measuring AChE activity. Results are expressed as the mean ± SEM percentage of the control value set as 100% (AChE–ColQ bound to CT ColQ-free beads). n = 4; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001, using two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison post hoc test.

    Figure 6. Role of the ColQ C-terminal domain in the ColQ–LRP4 interaction. A, 25 or 50 μg of a Flag-tagged peptide corresponding to the last 27 amino acids of the ColQ C-terminal domain (Flag-ColQ Cter [425–451]) or of a Flag-control peptide corresponding to the scrambled 425 to 451 sequence were used to coat magnetic beads, which were subsequently incubated with purified ectoLRP4-Myc. Pulled down ectoLRP4-Myc was analyzed by Western immunoblot with anti-Myc antibodies. EctoLRP4-Myc interacts with the Flag-ColQ Cter peptide but not with the corresponding scrambled peptide. The image is representative of three independent experiments. B, magnetic beads coated with similar amounts of ColQ-Flag and ColQΔCt-Flag or ColQ-free beads as a control were incubated with conditioned media of HEK 293T cells containing equal amounts of ectoLRP4-Myc, as shown in inputs, or with control medium. C, quantification of ectoLRP4 bound to ColQ or ColQΔCt from data in (B) reveals a lower binding of ectoLRP4 to ColQΔCt than to ColQ, albeit statistically not significant. Results were normalized to precipitated ColQ or ColQΔCt and are expressed as the mean ± SEM of ColQ condition set as 100%; n = 5.

    Figure 7. Domains of LRP4 interacting with ColQ. A, schematic representation of ectoLRP4-AP and its deletion mutants. B, plate-binding assays. Same concentrations of ectoLRP4-AP and of the indicated deletion mutants were added to ColQ-coated or CT wells. Bound proteins were quantified by measuring AP activity. Results are expressed as the mean ± SEM percentage of the control value set as 100% (ectoLRP4-AP bound to CT wells). n ≥6; **p < 0.01; ****p < 0.0001, using two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison post hoc test. For interaction factor: F = 18.07, p < 0.0001; for CT versus ColQ: F = 162, p < 0.0001; for the comparison of the different ectoLRP4 mutants: F = 21.01, p < 0.0001. The N-terminal region of LRP4 plays a crucial role in ColQ–LRP4 interaction as its deletion (ectoLRP4Δ1-AP) compromised binding to ColQ. Conversely, the N-terminal region alone (ectoLRP4Δ234-AP) bound to ColQ at the same level as ectoLRP4-AP. C, ColQ-coated wells were incubated with 25 nM of ectoLRP4-AP in the presence or not of 500 nM purified re- combinant neural agrin. Results are the mean ± SEM percentage of ectoLRP4-AP bound to ColQ wells in the absence of agrin (set as 100%; n = 9, ***p < 0.001, using one-sample t test). The binding of ecto-LRP4 to ColQ was reduced by more than 50% in the presence of agrin. D, pull-down assay where ColQ- coated beads were incubated with 500 nM of His-tagged recombinant neural agrin. Agrin signals were analyzed by Western immunoblot using antibodies against His-tag. No agrin was coprecipitated with ColQ.

    Figure 2. ColQ binds directly to the extracellular domain of LRP4. A, pull-down assays. Magnetic beads were conjugated with ColQ-Flag (+) or not (−) and were subsequently incubated with conditioned media (CM) of HEK 293T cells containing equal amounts of Myc-tagged ectodomain of LRP4 (ectoLRP4- Myc) or LRP6 (ectoLRP6-Myc) or with control medium (HEK 293T cells transfected with an empty vector). Precipitated proteins were analyzed by Western immunoblotting with anti-Myc antibodies. ColQ-Flag interacted with ectoLRP4-Myc but not with ectoLRP6-Myc. Inputs show that comparable amounts of ectoLRP4-Myc and ectoLRP6-Myc were incubated with the ColQ-coated beads; n = 3. B, same experiment as in (A) except that higher concentrations of ectoLRP6-Myc than ectoLRP4-Myc were tested. Even in these conditions, ColQ bound only to ectoLRP4 and not to ectoLRP6. C, uncoated (−) or ColQ-coated (+) beads were incubated with CM expressing ectoLRP4-AP or with ectoLRP4-AP purified from the CM. Purified ectoLRP4-AP bound to ColQ-Flag, indicating a direct interaction between ectoLRP4 and ColQ. D, magnetic beads conjugated with equal amounts of ectoLRP4-Myc and ectoLRP6-Myc were incubated with the same amount of enzymatic activity of purified AChE–ColQ (A12 asymmetric forms) or AChE (monomeric globular G1 forms). Bound AChE–ColQ or AChE was quantified by measuring AChE activity. Results are expressed as the mean ± SEM percentage normalized to the control value set as 100% (AChE– ColQ bound to control [CT] uncoated beads). n = 4; ****p < 0.0001, using two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison post hoc test.

    Figure 3. Surface plasmon resonance analysis of ColQ–LRP4 interaction. A, sensorgram of the binding of ColQ-Flag to a sensor chip covalently coated with anti-Flag antibodies to obtain a sensor surface covered with ColQ. Binding responses were measured using report points 30 s after the beginning of the dissociation phase and are indicated in RUs (resonance units). The level of immobilized ColQ reached about 3900 RU. Reference surface was obtained by injecting preparations from untransfected cells (CT) at the same protein concentration as ColQ-Flag preparations. B, 750 nM of purified ectoLRP4 (blue curve) or purified ectoMuSK (red curve) were passed over the ColQ-coated and reference surfaces. Sensorgrams represent the differential specific binding to ColQ after subtraction of the signals obtained on the reference surface. In contrast to ectoLRP4 (binding response of 23 RU), there was no binding of ectoMuSK to ColQ. C, sensorgram of the single-cycle kinetics. Five increasing (1.5-fold) concentrations (296, 444, 666, 1000, and 1500 nM) of purified ectoLRP4 were sequentially loaded on the ColQ-coated or reference surfaces without any regeneration step. Reference surface and drift signals were subtracted to obtain the accurate binding profiles. The black curve overlaid on the experimental data (blue curve) was obtained by fitting the binding profiles to a 1:1 binding model with drifting baseline. The association (kon) and dissociation (koff) constants were 9.64 ± 2.86 × 104 M−1 s−1 and 9.1 ± 2.89 × 10−3 s−1, respectively, corresponding to a Kd of 9.4 ± 0.19 × 10−8 M (n = 2). D, conditioned medium containing ectoLRP4-AP at 60 nM (ectoLRP4 CM) or a same dilution of a control conditioned medium (control CM) lacking ectoLRP4-AP, but containing AP at the same concentration, was injected over ColQ-coated and reference sur- faces. Sensorgrams display the differential specific binding to ColQ after subtraction of the signals obtained with the reference surface. The binding response for ectoLRP4 CM was substantially higher than for control CM (34 RU versus eight RU), revealing a specific binding of ectoLRP4 to ColQ.

    Figure 6. Role of the ColQ C-terminal domain in the ColQ–LRP4 interaction. A, 25 or 50 μg of a Flag-tagged peptide corresponding to the last 27 amino acids of the ColQ C-terminal domain (Flag-ColQ Cter [425–451]) or of a Flag-control peptide corresponding to the scrambled 425 to 451 sequence were used to coat magnetic beads, which were subsequently incubated with purified ectoLRP4-Myc. Pulled down ectoLRP4-Myc was analyzed by Western immunoblot with anti-Myc antibodies. EctoLRP4-Myc interacts with the Flag-ColQ Cter peptide but not with the corresponding scrambled peptide. The image is representative of three independent experiments. B, magnetic beads coated with similar amounts of ColQ-Flag and ColQΔCt-Flag or ColQ-free beads as a control were incubated with conditioned media of HEK 293T cells containing equal amounts of ectoLRP4-Myc, as shown in inputs, or with control medium. C, quantification of ectoLRP4 bound to ColQ or ColQΔCt from data in (B) reveals a lower binding of ectoLRP4 to ColQΔCt than to ColQ, albeit statistically not significant. Results were normalized to precipitated ColQ or ColQΔCt and are expressed as the mean ± SEM of ColQ condition set as 100%; n = 5.

    Figure 7. Domains of LRP4 interacting with ColQ. A, schematic representation of ectoLRP4-AP and its deletion mutants. B, plate-binding assays. Same concentrations of ectoLRP4-AP and of the indicated deletion mutants were added to ColQ-coated or CT wells. Bound proteins were quantified by measuring AP activity. Results are expressed as the mean ± SEM percentage of the control value set as 100% (ectoLRP4-AP bound to CT wells). n ≥6; **p < 0.01; ****p < 0.0001, using two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison post hoc test.

The N-terminal region of LRP4 plays a crucial role in ColQ–LRP4 interaction as its deletion (ectoLRP4Δ1-AP) compromised binding to ColQ. Conversely, the N-terminal region alone (ectoLRP4Δ234-AP) bound to ColQ at the same level as ectoLRP4-AP. C, ColQ-coated wells were incubated with 25 nM of ectoLRP4-AP in the presence or not of 500 nM purified re- combinant neural agrin. Results are the mean ± SEM percentage of ectoLRP4-AP bound to ColQ wells in the absence of agrin (set as 100%; n = 9, ***p < 0.001, using one-sample t test). The binding of ecto-LRP4 to ColQ was reduced by more than 50% in the presence of agrin. D, pull-down assay where ColQ- coated beads were incubated with 500 nM of His-tagged recombinant neural agrin. Agrin signals were analyzed by Western immunoblot using antibodies against His-tag. No agrin was coprecipitated with ColQ.

    Figure 4. Migratory capability of breast cancer cells is enhanced by co-culture with PAPPA-rich serum. (a) The level of PAPPA in serum of PABC patients and healthy subjects were detected by ELISA. (b-e). MDA-MB-231 and MCF7 were cultured with healthy control serum (CS), PABC patient serum (PS) and PS in the presence of PAPPA-antagonizing antibody (PS+anti- PAPPA). (b) CCK-8 proliferation assay revealed that PABC serum treatment enhanced cell proliferation, which was partially inhibited by PAPPA antibody. (c) Wound-healing migration assay and (d) transwell invasion assay showed that PABC serum treatment promoted cell migration and invasion ability, which partially inhibited by PAPPA antibody. (e) PABC serum treatment upregulated EMT markers (N-cadherin and vimentin) and PAPPA antibody antagonized this effect. The data were analyzed using SPSS19.0 and Prism9 software. The data were presented at mean ± standard deviation. **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001. (* indicates comparison between CS and PS; # indicates comparison between PS and PS+anti-PAPPA).

    Figure 7. PAPPA promoted tumorigenesis and metastasis of breast cancer cells in vivo. A total number of 10 female immunodeficient nude mice were subcutaneously injected with MDA-MB-231 cells. The mice were randomly divided into two groups (5 mice in each group): vector group (injected with PBS every three days) and p-PAPPA group (injected with recombinant p-PAPPA protein every three days). The injection of PAPPA significantly promoted the tumor growth (a) and tumor weight (b). (c) IHC staining of the cell proliferation marker Ki-67 and PAPPA in the tumor sections of the vector and p-PAPPA group (scale bar = 100 μm). (d) Hematoxylin and Eosin (HE) staining of lung tissue revealed increased number of metastatic nodules in the lung tissue in the group with PAPPA treatment (scale bar = 400 μm). The data were analyzed using SPSS19.0 and Prism9 software. The data were presented at mean ± standard deviation. **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.
