金属蛋白酶抑制剂对外源Rac1表达介导的细胞侵袭胶原屏障的影响

目的 体外研究金属蛋白酶(MMPs)抑制剂对外源Rac1基因表达介导的HT1080纤维肉瘤细胞侵袭胶原屏障的影响.方法 分别转染显性负调控突变体Rac1V12N17(HN)、持续活化型Rac1V12(HV)或空载体(HW)于纤维肉瘤HT1080细胞,G418筛选.蛋白印迹分析检测外源性Rac1基因表达,并在含胶原蛋白凝胶的3D基质中培养,用得克萨斯红结合的鬼笔环肽染色显示细胞肌动蛋白骨架构型.在含胶原蛋白凝胶覆盖滤膜的Transwell小室进行细胞侵袭胶原屏障实验,并观察MMPs抑制剂和抑肽酶对上述细胞侵袭实验的影响.结果 HV细胞伸出明显的突起,HN细胞形态紧凑,HV细胞侵袭胶原屏障的能力大于HW细胞,而后者又强于HN细胞,这种差别在应用广谱MMPs抑制剂后消失,而抑肽酶则无影响.结论 外源活化型Rac1基因在纤维肉瘤HT1080细胞内稳定表达可诱发肌动蛋白纤维聚集,并可增加HT1080纤维肉瘤细胞侵袭胶原屏障的能力,但这种细胞侵袭胶原蛋白能力的增强可被MMPs抑制剂阻断.

Matrix and serine protease expression during leukemic cell differentiation induced by aclacinomycin and all-trans-retinoic acid

In myeloid leukemia, immature leukemic cells are able to egress into peripheral blood to infiltrate extra-medullary organs. We therefore analyzed the migrating and invasive potential of human HL-60 and NB4 cell lines, representative of acute myelogenous leukemia, their ability to express matrix metalloproteases (MMPs), tissue inhibitors of metalloproteases (TIMPs) and urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) in response to differentiating agents. Granulocytic differentiation by all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) and aclacinomycin (ACLA) strongly increased HL-60 and NB4 cell migration and invasion. At mRNA and protein levels, these cell lines produced significant amounts of MMP-9 (HL-60MMPs and uPA which are differentially regulated by the differentiating agents ATRA and ACLA and suggest the clinical usefulness of MMPs and serine protease inhibitors in the prophylaxis and treatment of the ATRA syndrome.     

Inhibition of endothelial cell functions and of angiogenesis by the metastasis inhibitor NAMI-A

NAMI-A is a ruthenium-based compound with selective anti-metastasis activity in experimental models of solid tumours. We studied whether this activity was dependent on anti-angiogenic ability of NAMI-A. We thus investigated its in vitro effects on endothelial cell functions necessary for angiogenesis to develop, as well as its in vivo effects in the chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane model. Endothelial cell proliferation, chemotaxis, and secretion of the matrix-degrading enzyme metalloproteinase-2 were inhibited by NAMI-A in a dose-dependent manner, and without morphologic signs of cell apoptosis or necrosis. Lastly, NAMI-A displayed a dose-dependent in vivo anti-angiogenic activity in the chorioallantoic membrane model. These data suggest that the anti-angiogenic activity of NAMI-A can contribute to its anti-metastatic efficacy in mice bearing malignant solid tumours.

Inhibitory Effects of Parthenolide on the Angiogenesis Induced by Human Multiple Myeloma Cells and the Mechanism

The inhibitory effects of parthenolide （PTL） on angiogenesis induced by multiple myeloma （MM） cells in vitro and the mechanism were investigated. Human MM line RPMI8226 cells were cultured in vitro. The effects of MM culture supernatant on the migration and tubule formation ability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells （HUVECs） treated with PTL were observed. By using Western blot, the expression of p65 and IкB-α in MM cells was detected. RT-PCR was used to assay the expression of VEGF, IL-6, MMP2 and MMP9 mRNA in MM cells. ELISA was used to measure the levels of VEGF and IL-6 in MM cell culture supernatant. The expression of MMP2 and MMP9 in MM cells was examined by immunohistochemistry. （1） In 3.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10 μmol/L PTL groups the number of migrated cells was 310±56, 207±28, 127±21 and 49±10 respectively, which was significantly different from that in positive control group （598±47） （P〈0.01）. In 3.5 and 5.0 μmol/L PTL groups the areas of capillary-like structures were 0.092±0.003 and 0.063±0.002 mm2, significantly less than in positive control group （0.262±0.012 mm2） （P〈0.01）, but in 7.5 and 10 μmol/L PTL groups no capillary-like structures were found; （2） After treatment with different concentrations of PTL for 48 h, the expression of p65 protein was gradually decreased, while that of IкB-α was gradually enhanced with the increased concentration of PTL; （3） After treatment with 3.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10 μmol/L PTL for 48 h, the VEGF levels in the supernatant were 2373.4±392.2, 1982.3±293.3, 1247.0±338.4 and 936.5±168.5 pg/mL respectively, significantly different from those in positive control group （2729±440.0 pg/mL） （P〈0.05）. After treatment with 7.5 and 10 μmol/L PTL, the IL-6 levels in the culture supernatant were 59.6±2.8 and 41.4±9.8 pg/mL respectively, signifi- cantly lower than in positive control group （1287.3±43.5 pg/mL） （P〈0.05）; （4） RT-PCR revealed that PTL could significantly inhibit the expression of V     

基质金属蛋白酶（MMPs）基因异常甲基化与肿瘤

基质金属蛋白酶（Matrix Metalloproteinases,MMPs）是锌离子依赖内肽酶家族,几乎在人类所有肿瘤中均表达增高,并且与肿瘤转移和预后不良有关。DNA甲基化是表观遗传学的研究热点之一,是调节基因表达的重要机制。已有大量研究发现肿瘤抑制基因高甲基化与人类肿瘤中的发生发展有密切关系,然而促癌基因的低甲基化却少有相关研究。研究发现结肠癌、胰腺癌、前列腺癌、淋巴瘤中相关MMPs表达增高与DNA低甲基化有关。因此提出低甲基化可能是调节MMPs表达,促进肿瘤侵袭和转移的一个重要因素。
