Progression of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) to metastasis is poorly understood. Two genetic approaches were used to evaluate the role of adherens junctions in a C-RAF driven mouse model for NSCLC: conditional ablation of the cdh1 gene and expression of dominant-negative (dn) E-cadherin. Disruption of E-cadherin caused massive formation of intratumoral vessels that was reversible in the early phase of induction. Vascularized tumors grew more rapidly, developed invasive fronts, and gave rise to micrometastasis. beta-catenin was identified as a critical effector of E-cadherin disruption leading to upregulation of VEGF-A and VEGF-C. In vivo, lung tumor cells with disrupted E-cadherin expressed beta-catenin target genes normally found in other endodermal lineages suggesting that reprogramming may be involved in metastatic progression.
