Circular dorsal ruffles (CDRs) are a kind of special ring-shaped membrane structure rich in F-actin, it is highly involved in the invasion-metastasis of tumor. Shear stress is one of the biophysical elements that affects the fate of tumor cells. However, how shear stress contributes to the CDRs formation is still unclear. In this study, we found that shear stress stimulated the formation of CDRs and promoted the migration of human breast MDA-MB-231 carcinoma cells. Integrin-linked kinase (ILK) mediated the recruiting of ADP-ribosylation factors (ARAP1/Arf1) to CDRs. Meanwhile, the transfection of ARAP1 or Arf1 mutant decreased the number of cells with CDRs, the CDRs areas and perimeters, thus blocked the cancer cell migration. This indicated that the ARAP1/Arf1 were necessary for the CDRs formation and cancer cell migration. Further study revealed that shear stress could stimulate the formation of intracellular macropinocytosis (MPS) thus promoted the ARAP1/Arf1 transportation to early endosome to regulate cancer cell migration after the depolymerization of CDRs. Our study elucidates that the CDRs formation is essential in shear stress-induced breast cancer cell migration, which provides a new research target for exploring the cytoskeletal mechanisms of breast cancer malignance.
