Thrombin and proteinase-activated receptors (PAR) specifically regulate several functions that markedly enhance the transformation phenotype such as inflammation, cell proliferation, tumor growth, and metastasis. We recently reported that thrombin inhibits cellular invasion induced by src, hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), and leptin in kidney and colonic epithelial cells via predominant activation of the pertussis toxin (PTx) -sensitive G-proteins G{alpha}o/G{alpha}i. We provide pharmacological and biochemical evidence that in the presence of PTx, PAR-1 induced cellular invasion through G{alpha}12/G{alpha}13- and RhoA/Rho kinase (ROCK) -dependent signaling. However, inhibition of the endogenous small GTPase RhoA by the C3 exoenzyme, dominant-negative N19-RhoA, activated G26V-RhoD, and activators of the nitric oxide/cGMP pathways conferred invasive activity to PAR-1 via a signaling cascade using G{alpha}q, phospholipase C (PLC), Ca2+/calmodulin myosin light chain kinase (CaM-MLCK), and phosphorylation of MLC. We found that cellular invasion induced by the src oncogene is abrogated by inhibitors of the RhoA/ROCK pathway and is independent of PLC/CaM-MLCK signaling. Our data demonstrate that the RhoA and RhoD small GTPases are acting as a molecular switch of cellular invasion and reveal a novel critical mechanism by which PAR-1 bypass G{alpha}o/i and RhoA inhibition via differential coupling to heterotrimeric G-proteins linked to divergent or convergent biological responses. Our data also indicate that Rho GTPases and ROCK mediate a src-dependent invasion signal in kidney and colonic cancer cells. We conclude that dynamic regulation of Rho GTPases activation and inactivation by oncogenes, growth factors, cGMP-inducing agents, and adhesion molecules can initiate convergent invasion signals controlled by the thrombin PAR-1 in cancer cells.—Nguyen, Q.-D., Faivre, S., Bruyneel, E., Rivat, C., Seto, M., Endo, T., Mareel, M., Emami, S., Gespach, C.
