Expression of RKIP,E-cadherin and NF-kB p65 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and their correlations

To detect the expression of RKIP, E-cadherin and NF-kB p65 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and study their correlations. Steptavidin-peroxidase (S-P) method was employed to detect the expressions of RKIP, E-cadherin and NF-kB p65 in ESCC tissues from 77 cases and paracancerous tissues from 77 cases. The correlations between their expressions and clinicopathological indices and between the expressions of these proteins themselves were analyzed. The expressions of RKIP and E-cadherin in ESCC tissues were obviously lower than those in the paracancerous tissues (P<0.01); the expressions in ESCC tissues from cases with lymph node metastasis were lower than those from cases without lymph node metastasis (P<0.01); the expression of RKIP was positively correlated with the expression of E-cadherin in ESCC tissues (P<0.01). The expression of NF-kB p65 in ESCC tissues was correlated with clinical staging, lymph node metastasis and tumor differentiation (P<0.01); the expression of RKIP was negatively correlated with the expression of NF-kB p65 in ESCC tissues (P<0.05). Downregulation or depletion of RKIP was related to the onset and progression of ESCC, and facilitated the invasion and metastasis of ESCC by downregulating E-cadherin and upregulating NF-kB p65.     

Curcumin inhibits cell proliferation and promotes apoptosis in human osteoclastoma cell through MMP-9, NF-κB and JNK signaling pathways

Curcumin is a polyphenol compound extracted from ginger plant, turmeric, commonly used in a variety of food coloring and flavoring additives. Curcumin has many effects such as anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, antioxidant and anti-microbial effects. However, the mechanism underlying the anti-cancer effect of curcumin on human osteoclastoma (Giant cell tumor, GCT) cells remains unclear. The objectives of this study were to determine the efficacy of curcumin on proliferation and apoptosis of GCT cells and its related mechanisms. In our study, cell viability, cellular apoptosis and caspase-3 activity of GCT cells were analyzed using 3.3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, flow cytometry (FCM) assay and commercial kits, respectively. Next, MMP-9 gene expression quantity, NF-κB activity and JNK protein expression of GCT cells were tested with real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), commercial kits and western blotting assay, respectively. Firstly, MMP-9, NF-κB and JNK inhibitors were added into GCT cells and which was researched the mechanism of curcumin on human GCT cells. In this study, the efficacy of curcumin reduced cell viability, induced cellular apoptosis and increased caspase-3 activity of GCT cells. Furthermore, curcumin inhibited the MMP-9 gene expression quantity and NF-κB activity, and activated JNK protein expression in GCT cells. Meanwhile, down-regulation of MMP-9 gene expression quantity and NF-κB activity could promote the anti-cancer effect of curcumin on cell viability of GCT cells. Interesting, down-regulation of JNK protein expression could also reversed the anti-cancer effect of curcumin on cell viability of GCT cells. Taken together, our results suggest that curcumin inhibits cell proliferation and promotes apoptosis in osteoclastoma cell through suppression of MMP-9 and NF-κB, and activation JNK signaling pathways.

The p75NTR metastasis suppressor inhibits urokinase plasminogen activator, matrix metalloproteinase-2 and matrix metalloproteinase-9 in PC-3 prostate cancer cells

The p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75^NTR) has been characterized as a metastasis and tumor suppressor in prostate cancer. In order to investigate the mechanism(s) by which the p75^NTR functions as a metastasis suppressor in prostate cancer cells, we characterized the ectopic expression of p75^NTR on the urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) and the type IV collagen matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-2 and MMP-9) in PC-3 human prostate cancer cells. Rank-order expression of p75^NTR greatly reduced protein levels and enzymatic activities of uPA, MMP-2, and MMP-9 as shown by immunoblot and zymography analyses. Conversely, expression of the MMP-9 antagonist, tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) exhibited an increase in protein levels with an increase in p75^NTR levels, whereas TIMP-2 was not detected. Transient transfection with an inducible dominant negative antagonist Δp75^NTR rescued uPA, MMP-2, and MMP-9 protein levels and protease activities, and conversely suppressed TIMP-1 levels. Since p75^NTR signal transduction occurs via the NFκB and JNK pathways, antagonism of signaling intermediates in these pathways, using dominant negative IKKβ or dominant negative MKK-4, respectively, was shown to further decrease expression of uPA, MMP-2, and MMP-9 protein and enzymatic activity levels, and conversely up-regulate levels of TIMP-1. These results indicate that expression of uPA, MMP-2, MMP-9, and TIMP-1 are directly regulated by expression of p75^NTR and its downstream signal transduction cascade. These results suggest that the metastasis suppressor activity of p75^NTR is mediated, in part, by down-regulation of specific proteases (uPA, type IV collagenases) implicated in cell migration and metastasis.     

Differential expression of stromal MMP-1, MMP-9 and TIMP-1 in basal cell carcinomas of immunosuppressed patients and controls

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have an important role in the initiation, growth, and invasion of malignant tumors. Basal cell cancer (BCC) is the most common human malignancy. The risk of BCC is 10–16 times higher among organ transplant recipients compared with the nontransplanted population. The aim of this study was to compare the expression of several MMPs and their tissue inhibitors (TIMPs) in BCCs from kidney transplant recipients and controls. Expression of MMPs-1, -7, -8, -9, -10, -13, -26, and TIMPs-1 and -3 was evaluated by immunohistochemistry in 25 samples of BCC of kidney transplant recipients and 25 matched controls representing superficial and nodular subtypes. No significant differences were detected in MMP expression of BCC tumor cells between immunocompetent and immunodeficient patients. However, MMPs-1 and -9 and TIMP-1 were expressed more frequently in stromal macrophages in the BCCs of immunocompetent patients. When tumor subtypes were compared irrespective of the patient group, more MMP-1-positive fibroblasts and MMP-9-positive neutrophils were detected in the superficial subtype, while stromal MMP-10 expression was more abundant in nodular tumors. Our results suggest that abundant peritumoral expression of TIMP-1 in non-immunocompromised patients limits ECM degradation permissive for cancer cell migration.

Proteolytic activity during cortical development is distinct from that involved in hypoxic ischemic injury

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of zinc-dependent endopeptidases involved in brain development and the etiology of adult cerebral injuries. In this study, we determined the MMP-2 and 9 responses following hypoxic ischemia (HI) injury in the developing brain. First, we characterized the developmental changes of MMP activity in the rat brain from embryonic day 18 (E18) to postnatal day 120 (P120). MMP-2 activity was high from E18 to P3 and decreased with age (P< or =0.001), while MMP-9 activity was not detectable. MMP-2 immunoreactivity was closely associated with differentiating cortical plate and subplate neurons. Next, we characterized the proteolytic changes after unilateral HI brain injury in 3- (P3) and 21- (P21) day-old rats. Zymography revealed that in the P21 rat brain, MMP-9 activity (150 and 92 kDa forms) was increased at 6 h and remained elevated 24 h post-injury in the ipsilateral injured hemisphere (P< or =0.001), whereas there was a gradual increase in MMP-2 (65 kDa) activity, reaching a peak at 5 days (P< or =0.001). Similarly, quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) indicated significant elevations in MMP-9 and MMP-2 mRNA expression in the injured cortex (P< or =0.05) and hippocampus (P< or =0.05) at 1 and 5 days post-injury, respectively in the P21 rat brain. In the P3 rat brain, zymography results revealed that both pro (92 kDa) and cleaved (87 kDa) MMP-9 activities were upregulated in the ipsilateral injured hemisphere from 6 h to 1 day after injury (P< or =0.001). In contrast, cleaved MMP-2 (60 kDa) was only moderately upregulated at 6 h (P< or =0.01), while pro MMP-2 (65 kDa) levels were unaffected. MMP-9 mRNA expression was also increased at 6 h (P< or =0.05) following injury at P3, whereas MMP-2 expression remained unchanged compared with the uninjured contralateral hemisphere. Immunohistochemistry indicated that MMP-9 protein expression was localized predominantly to neurons and peri-vascular astrocytes in the affected regions at early time points, whereas MMP-2 was present on reactive astrocytes surrounding the infarct at later time points. Together, these results indicate that MMP-2 may be primarily associated with the development and differentiation of cortical plate neurons and wound recovery processes. Conversely, MMP-9 appeared to be associated with more acute processes during the period of lesion development.

Matrix metalloproteinases and E-cadherin immunoreactivity in different basal cell carcinoma histological types

The immunohistochemical staining of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and E-cadherin in tumor epithelial and stromal cells was analyzed in a group of solid, superficial spreading and cystic tumors and in a group of morpheaform and recurrent basal cell carcinomas (BCC) in order to determine whether any of these factors possibly contribute to tumor therapy resistance. Tumor tissues of 64 patients were obtained by complete excisional or curettage biopsy of BCC and these were immunohistochemically stained for MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-9, MMP-13 and E-cadherin. In the morpheaform and recurrent BCC, MMP-9 expression significantly increased in the stroma, while E-cadherin expression was negative in epithelial cells. Odds ratio for development of morpheaform and recurrent BCC was 6.2 for positive MMP-1 immunostaining in epithelial tumor cells, 5.8 for positive MMP-9 immunostaining in tumor stroma, 3.2 for positive MMP-13 immunostaining in tumor stroma, and 4.5 for negative E-cadherin in epithelial tumor cells. Our results suggest that MMP-1 immunostaining in tumor cells, MMP-9 expression in stromal cells, and absence of E-cadherin expression are associated with morpheaform and recurrent BCC.

Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and MMP-9 expression in invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast

Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and MMP-9 are gelatinases that play a role in the invasion and metastasis of cancer through the destruction of the basal membrane and extracellular matrix. In this study, we investigated the immunohistochemical expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 and the correlation between the expression levels and prognostic clinicopathological parameters in 140 patients with invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC). The staining scores for MMP-9 were negative in 21 cases (15%), mild in 27 cases (19%), and strong in 92 cases (66%). MMP-9 expression was increased in high-grade (p=0.001), triple-negative (ER, PR, HER2 negative) (p=0.006), and ER-negative tumors (p=0.004) and tumors with distant metastases (p=0.028). MMP-9 expression was increased in cases with HER2 over-expression/amplification, but no statistically significant difference was found (p=0.215). No correlation was found between lymph node metastasis or tumor size and MMP-9 expression (p=0.492 and p=0.448, respectively). The staining scores for MMP-2 in 140 cases were negative in 10 cases (7%), mild in 25 cases (18%), and strong in 105 cases (75%). MMP-2 expression was increased in ER-negative and high-grade tumors in the lymph node-negative group (p=0.025 and 0.026, respectively). High MMP-9 expression was associated with a shorter disease-free survival and overall survival times (p=0.042 and p=0.046, respectively). In conclusion, increased MMP-9 expression is related to poor prognostic clinicopathological factors in IDC, and hence, it can be utilized as a supplementary prognostic marker. The role of MMP-2 expression in the prognosis of IDC is rather limited.     

Activity of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in sera of breast cancer patients

Gelatinase A (MMP-2) and gelatinase B (MMP-9) are proteolytic enzymes involved in the process of tumor invasion, and they are considered as possible tumor markers in breast cancer patients. In this study, we examined serum activity of proMMP-2 and proMMP-9 in relation to TNM stage, tumor size, lymph node involvement, grade of differentiation of tumors, as well as steroid and Her2/neu receptor status in breast cancer patients. The activity of gelatinase in the sera of 52 patients was analyzed by SDS-PAGE zymography. The activity of proMMP-2 and proMMP-9 significantly increased with each advancing clinical stage of disease (p=0.02–0.0009) and compared to controls (p=0.015 to p<0.01). We found a positive correlation between the activity of proMMP-2 and proMMP-9 and tumor size (p=0.007; p=0.05). Patients with lymph node-positive cancer have higher proMMP-2 and proMMP-9 activity than those with node-negative cancer. ProMMP-2 and proMMP-9 activity is not associated with the expression of Her2/neu receptors, but patients with Her2/neu overexpression (3+) showed increased proMMP-2 activity. Steroid receptor score is not associated with enhanced gelatinase activity. The relationship between the increase in proMMP-2 and proMMP-9 activity in serum and tumor size and lymph node status suggests the usefulness of these enzymes as staging markers of breast cancer patients.

Association of MMP-2 expression and prognosis in osteosarcoma patients

Objective: Our aim was to investigate the MMP-2 expression and its prognostic value in osteosarcoma patients. Methods: We performed RT-qPCR to detect the expression of MMP-2 in 45 paired osteosarcoma tissues and adjacent noncancerous tissues. Immunohistochemical staining assay was used to verify the expression of MMP-2 protein in osteosarcoma patients. Independent-sample T test was used to analyze the difference of MMP-2 expression level between osteosarcoma and control groups. The relationship between clinicopathologic factors and MMP-2 expression was analyzed by chi-square test. Kaplan-Meier was performed to analyze the association of MMP-2 expression and overall survival rate. The prognostic value of clinicopathologic factors and MMP-2 was estimated via Cox regression analysis. Results: RT-qPCR revealed that the expression of MMP-2 was up-regulated in osteosarcoma group compared with the control group. Besides MMP-2 expression was influenced by pulmonary metastasis (P<0.05) while gender, age, tumor site and Enneking stage showed no obvious impact (P>0.05). Kaplan-Meier curve revealed that patients with positive MMP-2 expression had a shorter survival time than those with negative MMP-2 expression, and the survival rates were 18.5% (5/27) and 44.4% (8/18), respectively. Cox regression analysis indicated that pulmonary metastasis and expression of MMP-2 gene were important factors in the prognosis of osteosarcoma. Conclusion: The expression of MMP-2 was associated with pulmonary metastasis, and was related to the prognosis of osteosarcoma. MMP-2 could act as an independent prognostic marker in osteosarcoma patients.
