Metastasis accounts for the vast majority of cancer-related deaths, yet the molecular mechanisms that drive metastatic spread remain poorly understood. Here we report that Tks5, which has been linked to the formation of proteolytic cellular protrusions known as invadopodia, undergoes an isoform switch during metastatic progression in a genetically engineered mouse model of lung adenocarcinoma. Nonmetastatic primary tumor-derived cells predominantly expressed a short isoform, Tks5(short), while metastatic primary tumor- and metastasis-derived cells acquired increased expression of the full-length isoform Tks5(long). This elevation of Tks5(long) to Tks5(short) ratio correlated with a commensurate increase in invadopodia activity in metastatic cells compared with nonmetastatic cells. Further characterization of these isoforms by knockdown and overexpression experiments demonstrated that Tks5(long) promoted invadopodia in vitro and increased metastasis in transplant models and an autochthonous model of lung adenocarcinoma. Conversely, Tks5(short) decreased invadopodia stability and proteolysis, acting as a natural dominant-negative inhibitor to Tks5(long). Importantly, high Tks5(long) and low Tks5(short) expressions in human lung adenocarcinomas correlated with metastatic disease and predicted worse survival of early stage patients. These data indicate that tipping the Tks5 isoform balance to a high Tks5(long) to Tks5(short) ratio promotes invadopodia-mediated invasion and metastasis.
