Lysophosphatidic acid promotes matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activation and MMP-dependent invasion in ovarian cancer cells 总被引:23,自引:0,他引:23
Ovarian cancer is an highly metastatic disease characterized by ascites formation and diffuse i.p. adhesion, invasion, and metastasis. Levels of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) are elevated in the plasma of patients with ovarian carcinoma, including 90% of patients with stage I disease, suggesting that LPA may promote early events in ovarian carcinoma dissemination. Expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) is also up-regulated in ovarian cancer tissues and ascites, and numerous studies have provided evidence for a direct role of MMPs in i.p. invasion and metastasis. Using three-dimensional type I collagen cultures or immobilized beta1 integrin subunit-specific antibodies, we previously demonstrated that beta1 integrin clustering promotes activation of proMMP-2 and processing of membrane type 1 MMP in ovarian cancer cells (S. M. Ellerbroek et al., Cancer Res., 59: 1635-1641, 1999). In the current study, the effect of LPA on MMP expression and invasive activity was investigated. Treatment of ovarian cancer cells with pathophysiological levels of LPA increased cellular adhesion to type I collagen and beta1 integrin expression. A significant up-regulation of MMP-dependent proMMP-2 activation was observed in LPA-treated cells, leading to enhanced pericellular MMP activity. As a result of increased MMP activity, haptotactic and chemotactic motility, in vitro wound closure, and invasion of a synthetic basement membrane were enhanced. These data indicate that LPA contributes to metastatic dissemination of ovarian cancer cells via up-regulation of MMP activity and subsequent downstream changes in MMP-dependent migratory and invasive behavior. 相似文献

卵巢上皮性癌(EOC)是妇科癌症中最致命的恶性肿瘤。在过去的30年间,虽然诊断和治疗水平取得了进展,但是卵巢上皮性癌的发病率和死亡率却保持不变。卵巢上皮性癌腹膜转移癌晚期发病于附着的小簇癌细胞,这些癌细胞从初始部位脱落并经由腹水携带附着于腹部腹膜或网膜。这种行为表明细胞-细胞或细胞-基质黏附机制调节卵巢上皮性癌的生长和增殖。复杂的下游信号可能受黏附分子和共表达激活的信号蛋白之间的功能性串扰所影响,导致卵巢上皮性癌细胞的增殖/存活和迁移/侵袭。本文旨在阐述细胞与细胞机制的影响,该过程由钙黏素和细胞-细胞外基质黏附,由整合素对膜受体和细胞质蛋白质介导的信号级联放大,这些在卵巢上皮性癌细胞的增殖、迁移和侵袭中起着一定的作用。 相似文献

Tissue transglutaminase (TG2) is involved in Ca(2+)-dependent aggregation and polymerization of proteins. We previously reported that TG2 mRNA is up-regulated in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) cells compared with normal ovarian epithelium. Here, we show overexpression of the TG2 protein in ovarian cancer cells and tumors and its secretion in ascites fluid and define its role in EOC. By stable knockdown and overexpression, we show that TG2 enhances EOC cell adhesion to fibronectin and directional cell migration. This phenotype is preserved in vivo, where the pattern of tumor dissemination in the peritoneal space is dependent on TG2 expression levels. TG2 knockdown diminishes dissemination of tumors on the peritoneal surface and mesentery in an i.p. ovarian xenograft model. This phenotype is associated with deficient beta(1) integrin-fibronectin interaction, leading to weaker anchorage of cancer cells to the peritoneal matrix. Highly expressed in ovarian tumors, TG2 facilitates i.p. tumor dissemination by enhancing cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix and modulating beta(1) integrin subunit expression. 相似文献

Detachment of cancer cells from the primary tumor and formation of spheroids in ascites is required for implantation metastasis in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), but the underlying mechanism of this process has not been thoroughly elucidated. To mimic this process, ovarian cancer cells were grown in 3D and 2D culture. Hey and OVCA433 spheroids exhibited decreased cell proliferation and enhanced adhesion and invasion. SMYD3 expression was elevated in ovarian carcinoma spheroids in association with increased H3K4 methylation. Depletion of SMYD3 by transient siRNA, stable shRNA knockdown and the SMYD3 inhibitor BCI-121 all decreased spheroid invasion and adhesion. Gene expression arrays revealed downregulation of integrin family members. Inhibition assays confirmed that invasion and adhesion of spheroids are mediated by ITGB6 and ITGAM. SMYD3-deficient cells regained the ability to invade and adhere after forced overexpression of SMYD3, ITGB6 and ITGAM. However, this biological ability was not restored by forced overexpression of SMYD3 in ITGB6- and/or ITGAM-deficient cancer cells. SMYD3 and H3K4me3 binding at the ITGB6 and ITGAM promoters was increased in spheroids compared to that in monolayer cells, and the binding was decreased when SMYD3 expression was inhibited, consistent with the expression changes in integrins. SMYD3 expression and integrin-mediated adhesion were also activated in an intraperitoneal xenograft model and in EOC patient spheroids. In vivo, SMYD3 knockdown inhibited tumor metastasis and reduced ascites volume in both the intraperitoneal xenograft model and a PDX model. Overall, our results suggest that the SMYD3-H3K4me3-integrin pathway plays a crucial role in ovarian cancer metastasis to the peritoneal surface. 相似文献

Interaction between cell surface integrin receptors with extracellular matrix (ECM) plays an important role in cell survival,
proliferation, and migration including tumor development and invasion. Binding of ECM to integrins initiates intracellular
signaling cascades, modulating expression and activity of different matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) which is important in
ECM degradation. The present study investigates fibronectin–integrin-mediated signaling and thereby modulation of MMPs expression
and activity in human breast cancer cell line, MDA-MB-231. Culture of MDA-MB-231 cells on fibronectin (FN) induced expression
and activity of pro-matrixmetalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9). Appreciable reduction of FN-induced pro-MMP-9 activity was observed
in anti-α5 antibody treated cells. Inhibitor studies revealed that inhibitors of phosphatidyl inositiol-3-kinase (PI-3K),
and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) inhibited FN-induced pro-MMP-9 activity. FN increased tyrosine phosphorylation of focal
adhesion kinase (FAK), integrin linked kinase (ILK), and PI-3K in MDA-MB-231 cells. FN-induced the transactivation of MMP-9
promoter by enhancing DNA binding activity of NF-κB and Sp1. Wound healing assay showed faster migration of MDA-MB-231cells
grown on fibronectin-coated as surface as compared to control. Our findings indicated that culture of MDA-MB-231 on fibronectin
perhaps send signals via fibronectin–integrin-mediated signaling pathways recruiting FAK, PI-3K, ILK, NF-κB, and modulate
expression and activation of pro-MMP-9. These observations may enrich fundamental aspects of cancer biology especially role
of α5β1 integrin in regulation of MMPs expression and activity. 相似文献

Matrilysin (MMP-7) promotes invasion of ovarian cancer cells by activation of progelatinase 总被引:20,自引:0,他引:20

Although matrilysin (MMP-7) is overexpressed in various malignancies, few studies have evaluated its role in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) invasion and metastasis. We report that the secretion of MMP-7 in EOC is stimulated significantly by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and interlukin-8 (IL-8). We also examined the in vivo expression of MMP-7 in EOC and its effects on the in vitro invasion and progelatinase activation. We report that MMP-7 is overexpressed in ovarian cancer cell lines and EOC surgical specimens. DOV13 cells incubated with active rhMMP-7 significantly increased cellular invasion and proMMP-2 activation. RhMMP-7 also showed the ability to activate proMMP-2 and proMMP-9 in immortalized ovarian epithelial cell (IOSE-29) conditioned medium. In addition, rhMMP-7 was able to activate progelatinase in a concentration-dependent manner in vitro. TIMP-2 or the generic MMP inhibitor-GM6001 inhibited both the activation of proMMP-2 and the increased invasion of DOV13 cells promoted by rhMMP-7. By incubation of MMP2-TIMP-2 complex with equal molar rhMMP-7, MMP-2 was dissociated from the complex and activated in a time-dependent manner, suggesting that TIMP-2 helps to keep the latency of MMP-2. TIMP-2 also showed inhibitory effects on the MMP-7 induced increase of gelatinolytic activity in DOV13 and IOSE-29 conditioned media. A strong co-localization of MMP-7 and MMP-2 was observed in DOV13 cells and ovarian carcinoma permanent tissue sections. These results indicate MMP-7 is overexpressed in malignant ovarian epithelium and suggest MMP-7 may facilitate tumor cell invasion in vivo partly through the induction of progelatinase activation. 相似文献

The events that mediate tumor progression in ovarian carcinoma are poorly understood to date. This review summarizes our results studying metastasis-associated molecules in advanced-stage ovarian carcinomas, details the co-expression of mRNA of these genes, and discusses their prognostic role. Fifty-five primary and metastatic FIGO stage III-IV ovarian carcinomas were analyzed for the expression of alpha v and beta1 integrin subunits, the matrix metalloproteinases MMP-2, MMP-9, and MT1-MMP, the MMP inhibitor TIMP-2, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), interleukin-8 (IL-8), PEA3 and Ets-1 using mRNA in situ hybridization. Tumor and adjacent stromal cell expression was scored. The association between integrin subunit expression and the expression of MMP, TIMP-2, angiogenic genes, PEA3 and Ets-1 was statistically analyzed. Alpha v integrin subunit mRNA expression in carcinoma cells showed significant association with that of MMP-2 and IL-8 in this cellular compartment, while the presence of beta1 integrin subunit mRNA showed similar association with that of PEA3, Ets-1, IL-8, bFGF and MMP-2. Expression of beta1 integrin subunit mRNA in stromal cells was associated with that of TIMP-2 and Ets-1 in this compartment. In addition, significant intercellular associations were found between alpha v integrin subunit mRNA expression in carcinoma cells and stromal cell expression of Ets-1, as well as between stromal cell expression of alpha v integrin subunit and labeling for IL-8 in carcinoma cells. The presence of beta1 integrin subunit mRNA in carcinoma cells showed a significant association with that of Ets-1, IL-8 and bFGF in stromal cells, while the presence of beta1 integrin subunit mRNA in stromal cells was associated with tumor PEA3 mRNA expression. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first evidence for coordinated autocrine and paracrine expression of members of these four families of metastasis-associated genes in human cancer. The results of this analysis support experimental data regarding cross-talk between carcinoma cells and peritumoral fibroblasts. They also suggest the existence of a putative activation sequence of metastatic genes, involving the beta1 (and possibly alpha v) integrin subunits, IL-8, PEA3, Ets-1 and MMP in ovarian carcinoma. 相似文献

PURPOSE: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) are proteolytic enzymes implicated in cancer progression and metastasis. We sought to determine the role of epithelial (tumor cell-derived) and stromal (host-derived) expression of MMPs in predicting the clinical outcome of patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: MMP-2, MMP-9, and membrane type 1 (MT1)-MMP expression was evaluated using immunohistochemistry in 90 invasive EOCs, and samples were scored for epithelial and stromal staining. Results were correlated with clinicopathologic characteristics using univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS: High expression of MMP-2, MMP-9, and MT1-MMP in tumor epithelium was detected in 54%, 97%, and 100% of cases, and in stromal compartments, in 38%, 70%, and 38% of cases, respectively. High stromal expression of MMP-2, MMP-9, and MT1-MMP was significantly associated with aggressive features such as high stage, high grade ascites, and positive lymph node status. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that high epithelial and stromal expression of MMP-2, MMP-9, and MT1-MMP were each significantly associated with shorter disease-specific survival (DSS; P < 0.01). On tree-structured survival analysis, patients with strong epithelial MT1-MMP expression had the shortest DSS, whereas patients with moderate epithelial MT1-MMP and low stromal MMP-9 expression had the longest DSS (P < 0.01). On multivariate analysis, high stromal expression of MMP-9 (P = 0.01) and MT1-MMP (P = 0.04), strong epithelial MT1-MMP (P = 0.01) and high stage (P = 0.04) were independent predictors of poor DSS. CONCLUSIONS: Overexpression of stromal MMP-9 and MT1-MMP is independently associated with shorter DSS in EOC. Thus, host-derived MMPs are valuable predictors of clinical outcome in EOC. 相似文献

Depsipeptide inhibits migration of primary and metastatic uveal melanoma cell lines in vitro: a potential strategy for uveal melanoma 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Uveal melanoma (UM) is a highly malignant primary intraocular tumour in adults that has a high mortality rate due to haematogenous dissemination. The migration of UM cells through the basement membrane requires the presence of proteolytic enzymes, such as matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). The expression of MMP-2, MMP-9 and membrane type-1/MMP (MT-1/MMP) in UM cells is a known risk factor for metastatic disease. We tested the effect of depsipeptide (DP) on UM cell migration and the level and activity of MMP-2, MMP-9, MT-1/MMP and tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases 1 and 2 (TIMP-1 and TIMP-2). Three primary and two metastatic (liver metastasis) UM cell lines were treated with DP (0, 1, 5 and 10 nmol/l) for 24 h. Migration of UM cells was studied in modified Boyden migration chambers for 24 h and only viable cells on both sides of the membrane were counted. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) were used to quantify the level of MMP-2, MMP-9, MT-1/MMP, TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 after the cells had been exposed to DP (0, 1, 5 and 10 nmol/l) for 24 h. In addition, the activities of MMP-2, MMP-9 and MT-1/MMP were determined after DP treatment. A dose-dependent decrease in the migration of viable UM cells was observed for primary and metastatic cell lines (30-50% inhibition). We detected a dose-dependent: (1) decrease in the protein level of MMP-2, MMP-9 and MT-1/MMP; (2) decrease in the activity of MMP-2, MMP-9 and MT-1/MMP; and (3) increase in the protein level of TIMP-1 and TIMP-2. It can be concluded that DP is a potent inhibitor of primary and metastatic UM cell migration in vitro. Our data suggest that this inhibition is mediated by the downregulation of MMPs and the upregulation of TIMPs. DP may be a valuable adjunctive treatment modality for primary and metastatic UM in humans. 相似文献

Omentum metastasis is a common occurrence in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), which is often accompanied by ascites that facilitates the spread of EOC cells. A subpopulation of fibroblasts-the cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are important promoters of tumor progression. We have shown previously that CAFs exist not only in omentum with EOC metastasis but also in omentum without metastasis. In the present study, using primary human fibroblasts isolated from normal omentum (NFs) and omentum with ovarian cancer metastasis (CAFs), we established in vitro coculture models and a 3D culture model mimicking human omentum structure for investigation of interactions between fibroblasts and cancer cells. We demonstrate that EOC cells activate NFs and promote their proliferation via transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) signaling, and the activated fibroblasts contribute to the invasion and adhesion of EOC cells. Moreover, EOC cells and NFs coculture led to overexpression of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and adhesion and invasion of EOC cells could be partially suppressed by blocking the function of HGF or MMP-2. Additionally, mouse peritoneal dissemination models of EOC confirmed the activation of fibroblasts by cancer cells and the tumor growth- and metastasis-promoting effects of activated fibroblasts in vivo. Our findings indicate that activated fibroblasts in omentum form a congenial environment to promote EOC cells implantation. It is an intriguing concept that targeting the activation of omentum fibroblast through the inhibition of TGF-β1 signaling can be used as a new therapeutic strategy against ovarian cancer omentum metastases, which needs further study. 相似文献

Functional activation of integrin alpha V beta 3 in tumor cells expressing membrane-type 1 matrix metalloproteinase 总被引:19,自引:0,他引:19

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and integrins have been implicated in a variety of processes involved in tumor progression. To evaluate the individual roles of integrin alphavbeta3 and membrane-type 1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP), as well as the effects of their joint expression on tumor cell functions, MCF7 breast carcinoma cells were transfected stably with either the MT1-MMP, the beta3 integrin subunit or both MT1-MMP and beta3 cDNAs. MT1-MMP expression is accompanied by the functional activation of integrin alphaVbeta3, thereby increasing vitronectin-mediated adhesion and migration of MCF7 cells transfected with MT1-MMP and integrin alphaVbeta3. MT1-MMP-dependent functional activation of alphaVbeta3 correlates with modification(s) of the beta3 subunit, including its higher electrophoretic mobility and affected the LM609-binding site. MCF7 cells jointly expressing MT1-MMP and alphaVbeta3 were the most efficient in adhesion to the recombinant C-terminal domain of MMP-2 as well as in generating soluble and cell surface associated mature MMP-2 enzyme. These findings suggest a mechanism of selective docking of MMP-2 at tumor cell surfaces, specifically at the sites that include MT1-MMP and activated integrin alphaVbeta3. These mechanisms may provide a link between spatial regulation of focal proteolysis by the cell surface associated MMPs and the regulation of integrin-mediated motility of tumor cells. 相似文献

Epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor (EGFR) is frequently elevated in epithelial ovarian cancer, and E-cadherin expression is often reduced in advanced disease. In this study, we investigated a mechanism by which EGFR activation promotes disruption of adherens junctions through induction of matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9). We show that EGFR activation down-modulates E-cadherin, and broad spectrum MMP inhibition ameliorates EGF-stimulated junctional disruption and loss of E-cadherin protein. MMP-9 involvement in EGF-dependent down-regulation of E-cadherin was determined by siRNA specifically directed against MMP-9. Furthermore, treatment with recombinant MMP-9 or transient expression of MMP-9 is sufficient to reduce E-cadherin levels in differentiated ovarian tumor cells. Stable overexpression of MMP-9 led to a loss of E-cadherin and junctional integrity, and promoted a migratory and invasive phenotype. Thus, elevated MMP-9 protein expression is sufficient for junctional disruption and loss of E-cadherin in these cells. The associations between EGFR activation, MMP-9 expression, and E-cadherin were investigated in human ovarian tumors and paired peritoneal metastases wherein immunohistochemical staining for activated (phospho) EGFR and MMP-9 colocalized with regions of reduced E-cadherin. These data suggest that regulation of MMP-9 by EGFR may represent a novel mechanism for down-modulation of E-cadherin in ovarian cancer. 相似文献

Dentin matrix protein 1 enhances invasion potential of colon cancer cells by bridging matrix metalloproteinase-9 to integrins and CD44 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
The up-regulation of various matrix metalloproteinases (MMP), certain cell receptors such as integrins and CD44, and the SIBLING family of integrin-binding glycophosphoproteins have been reported separately and in various combinations for many types of tumors. The mechanisms by which these different proteins may be interacting and enhancing the ability of a cancer cell to survive and metastasize have become an interesting issue in cancer biology. Dentin matrix protein 1 (DMP1) has been known for a number of years to bind to CD44 and ArgGlyAsp sequence-dependent integrins. This SIBLING was recently shown to be able to specifically bind and activate proMMP-9 and to make MMP-9 much less sensitive to inhibition by tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases and synthetic inhibitors. In this study, we used a modified Boyden chamber assay to show that DMP1 enhanced the invasiveness of the MMP-9 expressing colon cancer cell line, SW480, through Matrigel in a dose-dependant manner. DMP1 (100 nmol/L) increased invasion 4-fold over controls (86.1 +/- 13.9 versus 22.3 +/- 9.8, P < 0.001). The enhanced invasive potential required the presence of MMP-9 and at least one of the cell surface receptors, CD44, alpha(v)beta(3), or alpha(v)beta(5) integrin. The bridging of MMP-9 to the cell surface receptors was shown by both pull-down and fluorescence activated cell sorting experiments. Because all of these proteins were also shown by immunohistochemistry to be expressed in serial sections of a colon adenocarcinoma, we have hypothesized that the MMP-9/DMP1/cell surface complexes observed to enhance cell invasion in vitro may be aiding metastatic events in vivo. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: The outcome and prognosis of ovarian cancer is highly variable. The objective of this study was to compare survival and clinicopathological prognostic factors with the expression levels of two matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) and fibronectin as tumor invasion and metastasis markers in ovarian cancer patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Histologically-verified epithelial ovarian tumours from 27 patients were studied. The latent and the activated forms of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were measured as gelatinase activity from tumour extracts and from serum and ascites samples by a zymographic technique. The fibronectin content was quantified by immunoblotting and densitometric analysis. Molecular marker levels were correlated to clinicopathological parameters such as survival and disease recurrence during the median postoperative follow-up period of 30 months. RESULTS: The levels of MMP-9 and fibronectin, but not those of MMP-2, were significantly higher in tumour tissues and in the ascites fluid of the recurrent patient group and the patient group who did not survive, as compared to the non-reccurent cases. CONCLUSION: Our data support that high expression of MMP-9 and fibronectin indicate poor prognosis for ovarian cancer patients who have similar clinicopathological prognostic factors. 相似文献

Thyroid hormone (3,5,3′-triiodothyronine, T3; L-thyroxine, T4) enhances cancer cell proliferation, invasion and angiogenesis via a discrete receptor located near the RGD recognition site on αvβ3 integrin. Tetraiodothyroacetic acid (tetrac) and its nanoparticulate formulation interfere with binding of T3/T4 to the integrin. This integrin is overexpressed in multiple myeloma (MM) and other cancers. MM cells interact with αvβ3 integrin to support growth and invasion. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of enzymes active in tissue remodeling and cancer. The association between integrins and MMPs secretion and action is well established. In the current study, we examined the effects of thyroid hormone on myeloma cell adhesion, migration and MMP activity.We show that T3 and T4 increased myeloma adhesion to fibronectin and induced αvβ3 clustering. In addition, the hormones induced MMP-9 expression and activation via αvβ3 and MAPK induction. Bortezomib, a standard myeloma treatment, caused a decrease in activity/quantity of MMPs and thyroid hormone opposed this effect. RGD peptide and tetrac impaired the production of MMP-9 in cell lines and in primary BM cells from myeloma patients.In conclusion, thyroid hormone-dependent regulation via αvβ3 of myeloma cell adhesion and MMP-9 production may play a role in myeloma migration and progression. 相似文献

Ascites formation and peritoneal dissemination are critical problems in patients with advanced ovarian cancer. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), also known as angiogenic growth factor, is a potent mediator of peritoneal fluid accumulation and angiogenesis of tumors. E-Cadherin is an adhesion molecule that is important for cell-to-cell interaction. To elucidate the molecular mechanism of ascites formation and peritoneal dissemination of ovarian cancer, we examined the expression of VEGF and E-cadherin in different ovarian cancer cell lines and utilized nude mice to compare the biological characteristics of ovarian cancer cells. Three human ovarian cancer cell lines (AMOC-2, HNOA and HTBOA) were used in this study. Expression of genes was analyzed by northern blotting and RT-PCR methods. AMOC-2 expressed E-cadherin, but not VEGF. HNOA expressed VEGF without E-cadherin expression. HTBOA expressed both VEGF and E-cadherin. Each human ovarian cancer model revealed a specific feature. The AMOC-2 mouse had a single large peritoneal tumor without ascites or remarkable peritoneal dissemination. HTBOA and HNOA mice had bloody ascites and marked peritoneal dissemination. Introduction of VEGF antisense into HTBOA cells could inhibit the ascites formation. It is suggested that VEGF is important for the ascites formation via the increased vascular permeability effect. The deregulation of E-cadherin expression might be involved in the peritoneal dissemination. These molecules are important for the formation of specific features of advanced ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer cell lines that had different gene expression patterns produced nude mouse human ovarian cancer models with different characteristics. 相似文献
