nm23-H1 suppresses invasion of oral squamous cell carcinoma-derived cell lines without modifying matrix metalloproteinase-2 and matrix metalloproteinase-9 expression

nm23-H1 is a candidate gene for the suppression of cancer metastasis. Several studies on human breast, hepatocellular, gastric, ovarian, and colon carcinomas and melanomas have shown that reduced nm23-H1 expression was closely related to metastatic progression with poor prognosis. However, the biochemical mechanism by which nm23-H1 suppresses the metastasis has yet to be elucidated. In this study, we analyzed the correlation between nm23 expression, cell motility, and the invasive abilities of six different oral squamous cell carcinoma cell lines (HSC2, HSC3, HSC4, KB, OSC19, and OSC20). Reduced mRNA/protein expression of the nm23-H1 was observed in three cell lines (HSC2, HSC3, and HSC4). These cell lines exhibited increased cell motility and an invasive character on organotypic raft culture. On the other hand, the cell lines (KB, OSC19, and OSC20) that showed a higher expression of nm23-H1 exhibited a threefold to fivefold reduced motility and also reflected fewer invasions compared to the former three cell lines. Because the HSC3 cells demonstrated the lowest nm23-H1 expression with the highest cell motility and invasive character, we established nm23-H1-transfected HSC3 cell lines to investigate whether exogenous nm23-H1 protein could inhibit cell migration and invasive activity. These transfectants showed a significant reduction in cell motility with exogenous nm23-H1 in a dose-dependent manner, and exhibited a noninvasive character. An immunofluorescence study demonstrated a distinct stress-fiber distribution at peripheral region of these transfectants. However, no significant difference of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 expression was observed between mock transfectant and nm23-H1-transfected cells. These findings suggest that nm23-H1 inhibits the invasive activity of oral squamous cell carcinoma by suppression of cell motility without altering the MMP-2 and MMP-9 status.

Association between nm23-H1 expression, proliferation and apoptosis in non-small cell lung carcinomas

Twelve non-small cell lung carcinomas and adjacent normal lung tissues were examined for mutations of the nm23-H1 gene by using SSCP analysis and for an expression of the nm23-H1 protein by immunohis-tochemistry. No mutations could be found in either the carcinomas or in the adjacent normal tissues. In contrast, six of 12 carcinomas showed protein expression while only one adjacent normal lung tissue yielded a positive staining result. Therefore, the expression of nm23-H1 protein was analysed in a larger group of non-small cell lung carcinomas (n = 185) to determine whether or not the expression of nm23 protein may be of prognostic relevance. Only a weak relationship between nm23-H1 expression and lymph node involve-ment was observed. However, a significant correlation between proliferation and nm23-H1 expression was detected. Additionally, a direct correlation between apoptosis and nm23-H1 expression or between myc and nm23-H1 expression was found. Finally, non-small cell lung carcinomas that expressed nm23-H1 protein were more frequently sensitive to doxorubicin than carcinomas that did not express this protein. ©Lippincott Williams & Wilkins     

Squamous cell lung carcinomas: the role of nm23-H1 gene

 This analysis of 32 pairs of human squamous cell lung carcinomas and normal matched control DNA demonstrates that loss of heterozygosity (LOH) is infrequent at the nm23-H1 locus, affecting only 2 of the 18 informative cases. Both LOH cases were in the tumor stage IIIA. One tumor was of poor and the other of moderate histological grade. These and an additional 34 tumor samples were also analyzed immunohistochemically for the presence of nm23-H1 protein. Of the 66 cases tested for the presence of nm23-H1 protein 54 were negative. Eight samples exhibited up to 35% positive cells (with weak immunostaining intensity) and four between 35% and 70% (moderate immunostaining intensity); no sample showed more than 70% positive cells. Noncancerous lung parts contained no nm23-H1 protein. nm23-H1 expression was independent of TNM stage, grade, tumor size, and patient’s survival. Two samples with LOH were negative for nm23-H1 protein. We therefore conclude that neither loss of heterozygosity of the nm23-H1 gene nor the intensity of specific protein expression are related to squamous cell lung carcinoma development and progression.

Increased activity of nm23-H1 gene in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck is associated with advanced disease and poor prognosis

The present study was undertaken to determine whether the nm23-H1 gene is expressed in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) and whether the level of nm23-H1 protein or mRNA in cells vary as they progress to a more malignant phenotype. Of the 120 SCCHN studied 54 (45%) stained positively for nm23-H1 protein. Protein expression was significantly higher in more advanced stages of disease. Expression of nm23-H1 was significantly higher in cancer tissues than in normal, adjacent tissue, dysplasia, or carcinoma in situ. The nm23-H1 rate increased with progression of synchronous lesions from dysplasia to carcinoma in situ and finally to carcinoma (P<0.05). Northern blot analyses of tissues with various clinicopathological characteristics also revealed differences in nm23-H1 mRNA expression. When levels of nm23-H1 mRNA were compared to tumor stage, intensity of expression was found to be higher in stages 3 and 4 than stages 1 and 2 (P<0.01). Malignant tumors had a higher level of mRNA nm23-H1 expression than normal or premalignant tissues. The nm23-H1 negative patients survived significantly longer than nm23-H1 positive ones (P<0.05). To study the possible relationship between nm23-H1 gene expression and cell growth rate in tumor cells, the mRNA level in each tumor was compared to proliferative activity. The nm23-H1 gene expression levels were directly related to the [3H]thymidine labeling index in tumor cells (R=0.6681). Our results strongly indicate that the nm23-H1 gene is involved in progression of SCCHN. Together with results obtained on lung cancer, our observations suggest that increased expression of nm23-H1 in cancers of the upper aerodigestive tract may have different implications than elsewhere in the body.     

Prognostic implication of nm23-H1 expression in colorectal carcinomas

AIMS: Expression of nm23 has been identified as a potential metastatic suppressor. In this study, nm23-H1 expression, clinicopathological parameters and influences on clinical outcomes were investigated in colorectal carcinoma patients. METHODS: Immunostaining was performed on 185 colorectal carcinomas using a polyclonal anti-nm23-H1 antibody. RESULTS: The nm23-H1 immunoreactivity was weak in 31 (17%), moderate in 48 (26%) and strong in 106 (57%) cases. The well differentiated adenocarcinomas showed significantly strong staining for nm23-H1 compared with the moderately and poorly differentiated adenocarcinomas (chi2 test, P<0.001). Advanced tumour stages were associated with reduced nm23-H1 expression (P<0.001). There was an inverse correlation with angiolymphatic invasion, nodal metastasis and liver metastasis (univariate logistic regression analysis, P<0.001). In univariate analysis, patients with reduced expression of nm23-H1 had significantly shorter overall and disease-free survival than the strong expression group (log-rank test for trend, P=0.002 and P=0.003, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicated that reduced nm23-H1 expression showed poor prognosis in colorectal carcinomas. As a result, nm23-H1 expression might be a useful marker to predict outcome while planning treatment.
