Abstract

Summary:
Caveolae flattening results in EHD2 cytosolic release, SUMOylation and nuclear translocation. Mechanical stress leads to EHD2-dependent regulation of gene transcription. EHD2 stabilizes the caveolae reservoir upon relaxation of mechanical stress. The loss of EHD2 impairs caveolae mechanotransduction in breast cancer cells.

Caveolae are small invaginated pits that function as dynamic mechanosensors to buffer tension variations at the plasma membrane. Here we show that under mechanical stress, the EHD2 ATPase is rapidly released from caveolae, SUMOylated, and translocated to the nucleus where it regulates the transcription of several genes including those coding for caveolae constituents. We also found that EHD2 is required to stabilize the caveolae reservoir during the variations of membrane tension induced by mechanical stress. Metal-replica electron microscopy of breast cancer cells lacking EHD2 revealed a complete absence of caveolae and a lack of gene regulation under mechanical stress. Expressing EHD2 was sufficient to restore both functions in these cells. Our findings therefore define EHD2 as a central player in mechanotransduction connecting the assembly and dynamics of the caveolae reservoir with the regulation of gene transcription under mechanical stress.
