Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematological malignancy whose curability is greatly challenged by recurrent patient relapses and therapy resistance. We have previously proposed the high expression of ADAM8, ADAM9 and ADAM15 (A Disintegrin And Metalloproteinase 8/9/15) as adverse prognostic markers in MM. This study focused on the so far scarcely researched role of ADAM8/9/15 in MM using two patient cohorts and seven human MM cell lines (HMCL). High ADAM8/9/15 expression was associated with high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities and extramedullary disease. Furthermore, ADAM8/15 expression increased with MM progression and in relapsed/refractory MM compared to untreated patient samples. RNA sequencing and gene set enrichment analysis comparing ADAM8/9/15<sup>high/low</sup> patient samples revealed an upregulation of proliferation markers and proliferation-associated gene sets in ADAM8/9/15<sup>high</sup> patient samples. High ADAM8/9/15 expression correlated with high Ki67 and high ADAM8/15 expression with high MYC protein expression in immunohistochemical stainings of patient tissue. Conversely, siRNA-mediated knockdown of ADAM8/9/15 in HMCL downregulated proliferation-related gene sets. Western blotting revealed that ADAM8 knockdown regulated IGF1R/AKT signaling and ADAM9 knockdown decreased mTOR activation. Lastly, high ADAM8/9/15 expression levels were verified as prognostic markers independent of Ki67/MYC expression and/or high-risk abnormalities. Overall, these findings suggest that ADAM8/9/15 play a role in MM progression and proliferation signaling.
