Several matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of MMPs (TIMPs) were studied in highly invasive (MDA-MB-231) and slightly invasive (MCF-7, T47D, BT-20) breast cancer cell lines. Investigations were carried out at the protein level and/or at the mRNA level, either in cells cultured as monolayers on plastic, or in cells seeded on a thin layer of Matrigel basement membrane matrix. Analysis of MMP expression by RT-PCR showed expression of MMP-1, MMP-3, and MMP-13 in highly invasive MDA-MB-231 cells, but not in slightly invasive cell lines. The extracellular secretion of MMP-1 and MMP-3 by MDA-MB 231 cells could be also shown by ELISA. TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 mRNAs were found in all cell lines, however, the extracellular secretion of both TIMPs was much higher in MDA-MB-231 cells than in the other cell lines. When the cells were cultured on Matrigel matrix, MMP-9 expression was induced in MDA-MB-231 cells only, as assessed by RT-PCR and zymography experiments. The invasive potential of MDA-MB-231 cells evaluated in vitro through Matrigel was significantly inhibited by the MMP inhibitor BB-2516, by 25% and 50% at the concentrations of 2 × 10−6M and 10−5M, respectively. In conclusion, our data show that highly invasive MDA-MB-231 cells but not slightly invasive T47D, MCF-7 and BT-20 cells express MMP-1, MMP-3, MMP-9 and MMP-13. MMP-9 which is specifically up-regulated by cell contact to Matrigel, may play a key role in the invasiveness of MDA-MB-231 cells through basement membranes. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

In order to invade and spread cancer cells must degrade extracellular matrix proteins. This degradation is catalysed by the concerted action of several enzymes, including the serine protease plasmin. Several experimental studies have shown that inhibition of plasmin formation reduces cancer cell invasion and metastasis, indicating a critical role of this proteolytic pathway in these processes. In order to further study the role of plasmin in cancer progression, we have characterized urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) mediated plasmin formation in three human breast cancer cell lines. Using monoclonal antibodies against uPA and its receptor uPAR, we have investigated the contribution of uPA and uPAR to invasive capacity in an in vitro invasion assay. MDA-MB-231 BAG cells were found to express high protein levels of uPA, uPAR and PAI-1. MDA-MB-435 BAG cells produced low amounts of uPA, PAW and moderate amounts of uPAR, whereas MCF-7 BAG cells showed low levels of uPA, uPAR and PAM protein. In a plasmin generation assay MDA-MB-231 BAG cells were highly active in mediating plasmin formation, which could be abolished by adding either an anticatalytic monoclonal antibody to uPA (clone 5) or an anti-uPAR monoclonal antibody (clone R3), which blocks binding of uPA to uPAR. The two other cell lines lacked the capacity to mediate plasmin formation. In the Matrigel invasion assay the cells showed activity in this order: MCF-7 BAG < MDA-MB-435 BAG < MDA-MB-231 BAG. Testing MDA-MB-231 BAG cells in the Matrigel invasion assay revealed that invasion could be inhibited in a dose-dependent manner either by the clone 5 uPA antibody or by the clone R3 uPAR antibody, suggesting that the cell surface uPA system is actively involved in this invasive process. It is concluded that these three cell lines constitute a valuable model system for in vitro studies of the role of cell surface uPA in cancer cell invasion and has application in the search for novel compounds which inhibit mechanisms involved in uPA-mediated plasmin generation on cancer cells.  相似文献

Nm23-H1 suppresses metastasis, as well as in vitro cell motility, invasion and anchorage independent growth, in a variety of cancer models. Eight human homologs of Nm23 have been identified that share 26–88% identity with the prototype Nm23-H1. Here, we examine the potential of its homologs, -H2, DR-, -H4 and -H5, to inhibit in vitro correlates of metastasis in two highly metastatic human cell lines, MDA-MB-435 and MDA-MB-231. The metastatic cells were transfected with mammalian expression constructs containing the genes encoding for Nm23-H1, -H2, DR-, -H4 and -H5 and the resultant transfectants were analyzed by Boyden chamber motility and soft agar colonization assays. Nm23-H1 suppressed motility by 3.3- and 1.5-fold in MDA-MB-435 and MDA-MB-231 cells, respectively and inhibited anchorage independent growth in soft agar by 2.9- and 1.9-fold, respectively. None of the -H1 homologs were capable of suppressing motility in MDA-MB-435 cells, but in MDA-MB-231 cells, -H2 inhibited motility by 3-fold upon overexpression. When anchorage independent growth was assessed, -H2, -H4 and -H5 suppressed growth from 1.2- to 2.0-fold in both cell lines. Given their ability to suppress anchorage independent growth, Nm23-H1 homologs -H2, -H4 and -H5 may have some capacity to suppress metastasis. Motility suppression appears to be cell context dependent, but sequence disparities between -H1/H2 and the other family members may reveal regions critical for this inhibitory phenotype. Similarly, sequence differences between DR-Nm23 and its homologs may be important for anchorage independent growth suppression.  相似文献

We used Transwell chambers to study separately cellular motility and invasion. In order to assess the cellular motility, polycarbonate microporous filters were coated with extracellular matrix proteins which adsorbed on the filters without clogging the pores. To investigate the invasive behavior of tumor cells, filters were covered with a layer of Matrigel which clogged the pores. The motility and the invasion of breast cancer cell lines (MDA-MB-231, MCF-7/6 and MCF-7/AZ cells) were assessed quantitatively in different culture media: defined (serum-free), serum-containing and normal human fibroblast MRC-5 conditioned media. Inserum-containing medium, tumor cells migrated and invaded through the coated and covered filters. Their motility and invasion potentials were considerably lower in defined medium, whereas medium conditioned by MRC-5 fibroblasts stimulated both motility and invasion but not growth. The MRC-5 conditioned medium induced also the spreading of clusters of MCF-7 /6 cells grown on Matrigel-coated plates. © Rapid Science 1998  相似文献

The process of tumour invasion and subsequent metastasis represents the most lethal aspect of cancer. In this study the invasive and migratory activity of four human breast cancer cell lines; MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, BT474 and Hs578T was investigated. Isogenic subclones were isolated from the Hs578T cell line using sequential passages through the BD Matrigel Invasion Chamber assay system. A new invasive subclone designated, Hs578Ts(i)8 was isolated and shown to be 3-fold more invasive and 2.5-fold more migratory than the parental cell line. The variant cells formed up to 25 times more colonies in soft agar and also produced tumours in vivo in nude mice. Flow cytometry analysis showed that the Hs578Ts(i)8 cells had 30% more CD44+/CD24-/low cells than the parental Hs578T cell line. The presence of a breast cancer stem cell population within the variant cell line may provide an explanation for the increased anchorage independent growth and tumourigenicity.  相似文献

Abstract:
Objective To investigate HIF-1 α gene expression in human breast cancer cells and the role of HIF-i in tumor metastasis and invasion. Methods Human breast cancer cell lines were cultured under normoxic or hypoxic conditions. Western blot was used to evaluate the protein expression of HIF-1α,p-vimentin and α-tubulin. Small interfering RNA targeting HIF-1α was used to block the expression of HIF1α in MDA-MB-231 and SK-BR-3 cell lines. Matrigel transwell and cell wound healing assays were used to detect the capability of cellular invasion and migration, respectively. Results Under normoxic condition,all the cell lines tested showed a base-level of HIF-1αt expression. The highest expression level of HIF-1αprotein was obtained in the MDA-MB-231 cell line, which is also noticed to be highly invasive and migratory in behavior. HIF-1α siRNA was capable of blocking the protein expression of both HIF-1α and p-vimentin and in addition, the attenuated ability of invasion and migration. Conclusion Since HIF-1 is able to promote invasion and metastasis of tumor cells, which may be considered as a target in anti-cancer therapy.  相似文献

Gli1 is an established oncogene and its expression in Estrogen Receptor (ER) α negative and triple negative breast cancers is predictive of a poor prognosis; however, the biological functions regulated by Gli1 in breast cancer have not been extensively evaluated. Herein, Gli1 was over-expressed or down-regulated (by RNA interference and by expression of the repressor form of Gli3) in the ERα negative, human breast cancer cell lines MDA-MB-231 and SUM1315. Reduced expression of Gli1 in these two cell lines resulted in a decrease in migration and invasion. Gli1 over-expression increased the migration and invasion of MDA-MB-231 cells with a corresponding increase in expression of MMP-11. Silencing MMP-11 in MDA-MB-231 cells that over-expressed Gli1 abrogated the Gli1-induced enhancement of migration and invasion. Sustained suppression of Gli1 expression decreased growth of MDA-MB-231 in vitro by increasing apoptosis and decreasing proliferation. In addition, silencing of Gli1 reduced the numbers and sizes of pulmonary metastases of MDA-MB-231 in an in vivo experimental metastasis assay. In summary, Gli1 promotes the growth, survival, migration, invasion and metastasis of ERα negative breast cancer. Additionally, MMP-11 is up-regulated by Gli1 and mediates the migration and invasion induced by Gli1 in MDA-MB-231.  相似文献

CAS proteins and Ezrin, Radixin, Moesin (ERM) family members act as intracellular scaffolds and are involved in interactions with the cytoskeleton, respectively. Both protein families have previously been associated with metastasis and poor prognosis in cancer. Our group recently reported on the overexpression of EZR/VIL2 and BCAR1 and their protein products in breast carcinoma effusions compared to primary breast carcinoma. In the present study, the role of these two proteins was studied in semi-normal MCF10A cells and metastatic MDA-MB-231 breast carcinoma cells cultured in tri-dimensional (3-D) conditions that were hypothesized to reproduce the in vivo conditions of breast cancer metastasis. MCF10A cells formed spheroid-shaped colonies without any Matrigel invasion, while MDA-MB-231 cells displayed an invasive phenotype and showed satellite projections that bridged multiple cell colonies in 3-D culture. E-cadherin was expressed in MCF10A, but not in MDA-MB-231 cells. The temporal expression of ezrin and BCAR1/p130Cas at the mRNA and protein level differed in the two cell lines upon 3-D culturing on Matrigel. Upregulation of BCAR1/p130cas was observed in the transition of MDA-MB-231 from attached to detached culture. Silencing of Ezrin and p130Cas in MDA-MB-231 cells by short hairpin RNA resulted in decreased invasive potential, and p130Cas silencing further resulted in smaller spheroid/colony formation. Our data show that MCF10A and MDA-MB-231 cells differ in their ability to form spheroids, in expression of E-cadherin and in the expression of Ezrin and BCAR1/p130Cas in 3-D cultures on Matrigel, suggesting a role in tumor progression in breast carcinoma.  相似文献

A new quantitative assay for the study of tumour cell invasionin vitro is described. Employing the novel fluorescent dye YO-PRO-1, cells that penetrate Matrigel-coated transwells are counted on the basis of dye-bound cellular nucleic acid content. Following transmigration, the cells in the lower compartments are lysed by freezing in water. After a brief incubation with YO-PRO-1, nucleic acid or DNA content is measured as fluorescence intensity in 96-well microplates and quantitated by a cell- or DNA-calibration curve. Using standard curves, a linear relationship between fluorescence intensity and cell number was found in the range tested (from 100 to 80 000 cells). The mean relative intra- and inter-assay variability of the cell quantitation in this range was 3.5 and 4.2%, respectively. When applied to Matrigel invasion studies, as few as 400 cells could be counted. The quantitation could be performed within 3 h. HCT 116, MDA MB 231 and HT 29 cells were investigated as examples of tumour cells with different invasive abilities in the 48-h Matrigel invasion assay. Using YO-PRO-1, 6.5 ± 0.6% invasive HCT 116 cells and 52.6 ± 4.5% MDA MB 231 cells (percentage of the inoculated cell population) were measured. HT 29 cells were practically non-invasive. These results were confirmed by visual scoring of DAPI-stained nuclei. In conclusion, the main advantages of the assay are its sensitive, reproducible and rapid quantitation of tumour cell invasionin vitro and the applicability to extended sample numbers by measuring in 96-well microplates.  相似文献
