CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) plays a role in the development of immune and central nervous systems as well as in cancer growth and metastasis. CXCR4-initiated signaling cascades leading to cell proliferation and chemotaxis are critical for these functions. The present study demonstrated that stimulation of CXCR4 by its ligand, CXCL12, induced transient translocation of cortactin from endosomal compartments to the cell periphery where it colocalized with CXCR4 followed by internalization of CXCR4 together with cortactin into endosomes. Cortactin was co-immunoprecipitated with CXCR4 in response to CXCL12 treatment in a time-dependent manner. Ligand stimulation induced phosphorylation of cortactin at tyrosine 421, and the phosphorylation was both c-Src- and dynamin-dependent. Cortactin overexpression promoted CXCR4 internalization and recycling. However, overexpression of a cortactin mutant in which tyrosine 421 was replaced with alanine (cortactin-Y421A) or knockdown of cortactin with RNA interference (RNAi) reduced CXCR4 internalization in response to CXCL12. CXCR4-mediated activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 was significantly prolonged by overexpression of wild-type cortactin but not by the cortactin-Y421A mutant and was inhibited by cortactin knockdown with RNAi. Moreover, CXCL12-induced chemotaxis was enhanced by cortactin overexpression, reduced by overexpression of the cortactin-Y421A mutant, and blocked by cortactin knockdown with RNAi. These data provide strong evidence for an important role of cortactin in CXCR4 signaling and trafficking as well in the receptor-mediated cell migration.
