G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest class of membrane-bound receptors and transmit critical signals from the extracellular to the intracellular spaces. Transcriptomic data of resected breast tumors shows that low mRNA expression of the orphan GPCR GPR52 correlates with reduced overall survival in breast cancer patients, leading to the hypothesis that loss of GPR52 supports breast cancer progression. CRISPR-Cas9 was used to knockout GPR52 in human triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cell lines MDA-MB-468 and MDA-MB-231, and in the non-cancerous breast epithelial cell line, MCF10A. Loss of GPR52 was found to be associated with increased cell-cell interaction in 2D cultures, altered 3D spheroid morphology, and increased propensity to organize and invade collectively in Matrigel. Furthermore, GPR52 loss was associated with features of EMT in MDA-MB-468 cells. To determine the in vivo impact of GPR52 loss, MDA-MB-468 cells were injected into zebrafish and loss of GPR52 was associated with a greater total cancer area compared to control cells. RNA-sequencing and proteomic analyses of GPR52-null breast cancer cells reveal an increased cAMP signaling signature. Consistently, we found that treatment of wild-type (WT) cells with forskolin, which stimulates production of cAMP, induces some phenotypic changes associated with GPR52 loss, and inhibition of cAMP production rescued some of the GPR52 KO phenotypes. Overall, our results reveal GPR52 loss as a potential mechanism by which breast cancer progression may occur and support the investigation of GPR52 agonism as a therapeutic option in breast cancer.
