Multiple myeloma is an incurable form of lymphoid cancer characterized by accumulation of neoplastic plasma cells in the bone marrow cavity. Little is known about the mechanisms regulating myeloma cell movement within the bone marrow and metastasis to secondary sites. Herein, we identify multiple members of the wingless/int (Wnt) family as promoters of myeloma cell migration/invasion. Wnt-mediated migration was associated with the Wnt/RhoA pathway and did not necessitate signaling through -catenin. Activation of both RhoA and members of the protein kinase C (PKC) family, including PKC , PKC , and PKCµ, were required for induction of migration. Activated RhoA and PKC , PKC , and PKCµ appear to assemble in macromolecular signaling complexes that are associated with the cell membrane. These results suggest that Wnt responsiveness of myeloma plasma cells may be a significant factor in disease progression. (Blood. 2005;106: 1786-1793)
