It is well known that heterotrimeric G protein is composed of a Gα-subunit and a Gβγ-dimer and promotes cancer characteristics. Our recent study showed reduced G protein γ2 subunit (Gng2/GNG2) expression levels in malignant melanoma cells compared with those in benign melanocytic cells in both mice and humans. Our recent study also showed that reduced GNG2 alone augmented proliferation of malignant melanoma cells. To our knowledge, however, there is no evidence showing an effect of Gng2/GNG2 alone on metastasis of any cancers including malignant melanoma. In his study, we first prepared GNG2-overexpressed SK-Mel28 human malignant melanoma cells, in which GNG2 protein expression level was undetectably low. Migration and invasion activities of the GNG2-overexpressed malignant melanoma cells were suppressed up to 1/10th, with decreased activity of focal adhesion kinase (FAK). We then found that the expression level of GNG2 in A375M, a highly metastatic cell line, was significantly lower than that in A375P, the parental cell line of A375M. We finally showed that knockdown of GNG2 alone in A375P cells enhanced migration and invasion with increased FAK activity. Taken together, our results suggest that overexpression of GNG2 alone inhibits metastasis in human malignant melanoma cells with decreased FAK activity. Thus, GNG2 might be a candidate of molecular targets of prevention and therapy for metastasis of malignant melanoma. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Uveal melanomas of the choroid and ciliary body are aggressive tumors causing the death of approximately 50% of patients. In contrast, iris melanomas only infrequently metastasize; why these differences exist is not known. The local environment can regulate cancer growth and development, and it is probable the aqueous and vitreous humors have an important role in regulating uveal melanoma behavior. METHODS: To explore this possibility cultures of uveal melanoma were exposed to aqueous and vitreous and the effects investigated using invasion and proliferation assays. ChemiArrays (Chemicon International, Temecula, Calif) were performed to determine which regulatory factors might influence the process. RESULTS: The vitreous universally promoted uveal melanoma invasion, whereas the aqueous mainly had no effect or was inhibitory. Tumor location, and the baseline invasion of the melanoma, affected the ability of aqueous and vitreous from different patients to regulate invasive behavior. Proliferation was not significantly altered as a result of exposure to the aqueous or vitreous. The ability of the humors to regulate uveal melanomas may involve TIMP-2, TIMP-3, and TGF-beta2, as high expression was found by ChemiArray analysis and there were differences in the levels of the regulators in the aqueous compared with the vitreous. CONCLUSIONS: The findings suggest that in situ uveal melanoma development reflects an interaction between the tumor and the environment of the eye. Exposure to the aqueous would therefore contribute to the benign nature of iris melanomas, whereas potential interaction with the vitreous appears to promote the aggressive behavior of posterior uveal melanomas. 相似文献

Background: Heparan sulfate proteoglycans are one of the major componentsof extracellular matrix and are secreted at different levels by severalnormal and tumoral cells. Perlecan, the basement membrane proteoglycan, hasstructural domains involved in cell/matrix interactions and growth factorstorage. Metastatic melanoma cells show an increase in perlecan expressionas compared to low metastatic ones. We examined whether reduction ofperlecan expression could down-modulate the malignant phenotype in melanomaclones.Materials and methods: We transfected B16-F10 murine malignant melanomacells with a perlecan antisense cDNA construct and tested the in vitrobehavior of the selected clones.Results: The expression of antisense mRNA corresponded to a reduction ofperlecan synthesis. The clones with reduced perlecan synthesis showed adown-regulation of proliferation and invasion.Conclusions: These results further indicate the importance of perlecan asa regulator of growth factor activity affecting the biological properties ofmetastatic cells, and suggest the potential use of antisense perlecan DNA inanti-melanoma gene therapy approaches. 相似文献

Background:
Metastatic melanoma requires early detection, being treatment resistant. However, the earliest events of melanoma metastasis, and especially of dermal invasion, remain ill defined.Results and methods:
Gene expression profiles of two clonal subpopulations, selected from the same human melanoma cell line, but differing in ability to cross the dermal–epidermal junction in skin reconstructs, were compared by oligonucleotide microarray. Of 26 496 cDNA probes, 461 were differentially expressed (>2-fold; P< 0.001), only 71 genes being upregulated in invasive cells. Among them, TSPAN8, a tetraspanin not yet described in melanoma, was upregulated at mRNA and protein levels in melanoma cells from the invasive clone, as assessed by RT–PCR, flow cytometry and western blot analysis. Interestingly, TSPAN8 was the only tetraspanin in which overexpression correlated with invasive phenotype. Flow cytometry of well-defined melanoma cell lines confirmed that TSPAN8 was exclusively expressed by invasive, but not non-invasive melanoma cells or normal melanocytes. Immunohistochemistry revealed that TSPAN8 was expressed by melanoma cells in primary melanomas and metastases, but not epidermal cells in healthy skin. The functional role of TSPAN8 was demonstrated by silencing endogenous TSPAN8 with siRNA, reducing invasive outgrowth from tumour spheroids within matrigel without affecting cell proliferation or survival.Conclusion:
TSPAN8 expression may enable melanoma cells to cross the cutaneous basement membrane, leading to dermal invasion and progression to metastasis. TSPAN8 could be a promising target in early detection and treatment of melanoma. 相似文献5.

The aggressiveness of malignant melanoma is associated with differential expression of CXCL-8 and its receptors, CXCR1 and CXCR2. However, the precise functional role of these receptors in melanoma progression remains unclear. In this study, we investigate the precise functional role of CXCR1 and CXCR2 in melanoma progression. CXCR1 or CXCR2 were stably overexpressed in human melanoma cell lines, SBC-2 (non-tumourigenic) and A375P (low-tumourigenic) exhibiting low endogenous expression of receptors. Functional assays were performed to study the resulting changes in cell proliferation, motility and invasion, and in vivo tumour growth using a mouse xenograft model. Our data demonstrated that CXCR1- or CXCR2-overexpressing SBC-2 and A375P melanoma cells had enhanced proliferation, chemotaxis and invasiveness in vitro. Interestingly, CXCR1 or CXCR2 overexpression in SBC-2 cells induced tumourigenicity, and A375P cells significantly enhanced tumour growth as examined in vivo. Immunohistochemical analyses showed significantly increased tumour cell proliferation and microvessel density and reduced apoptosis in tumours generated from CXCR1- or CXCR2-overexpressing melanoma cells. CXCR1- or CXCR2-induced modulation of melanoma cell proliferation and migration was observed to be mediated through the activation of ERK1/2 phosphorylation. Together, these studies demonstrate that CXCR1 and CXCR2 play essential role in growth, survival, motility and invasion of human melanoma. 相似文献

Tumor cells invade and spread via either a mesenchymal or an amoeboid mode of migration. Amoeboid tumor cells have a rounded morphology and pronounced RhoA activity. Here, we investigate how WNT5A signaling, a tumor promotor in melanoma, relates to Rho GTPase activity and amoeboid migration. We compared melanoma cells with low (HTB63 cells) and high (WM852 cells) WNT5A expression. HTB63 cells exhibited an amoeboid morphology and had higher RhoA activity but lower invasiveness than WM852 cells in a three‐dimensional (3D) collagen matrix. We next explored the relationships between WNT5A, morphology, and invasive behavior. WNT5A knockdown impaired Rho GTPase Cdc42 activity, resulting in reduced invasion of amoeboid and mesenchymal melanoma cells. Interestingly, knockdown of WNT5A or inhibition of its secretion in WM852 cells expressing wild‐type BRAF also led to increased RhoA activity via decreased RND3 expression, resulting in predominantly amoeboid morphology. In contrast, such treatments had the opposite effects on RND3 expression and RhoA activity in HTB63 cells expressing the active BRAFV600 mutation. However, treatment of HTB63 cells with a BRAF inhibitor made them respond to WNT5A knockdown in a similar manner as WM852 cells expressing wild‐type BRAF. We next found that dual targeting of WNT5A and RhoA more effectively reduced melanoma cell invasion than targeting either protein individually. Taken together, our results suggest that low WNT5A signaling in melanoma cells promotes a rounded amoeboid type of invasion, which quite likely serves as a compensatory response to decreased WNT5A/Cdc42‐driven invasion. This phenomenon partially explains the enduring melanoma cell invasion observed after impaired WNT5A signaling and has therapeutic implications. Our results suggest that dual targeting of WNT5A and RhoA signaling is a more effective strategy for controlling the invasion of BRAF wild‐type and BRAFV600 mutated melanomas treated with a BRAF inhibitor than targeting either of the proteins individually. 相似文献

Granulocyte, granulocyte-macrophage, and macrophage colony-stimulating factors can stimulate the invasive capacity of human lung cancer cells. 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
We and other researchers have previously found that colony-stimulating factors (CSFs), which generally include granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), promote invasion by lung cancer cells. In the present study, we studied the effects of these CSFs on gelatinase production, urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) production and their activity in human lung cancer cells. Gelatin zymographs of conditioned media derived from human lung adenocarcinoma cell lines revealed two major bands of gelatinase activity at 68 and 92 kDa, which were characterized as matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 respectively. Treatment with CSFs increased the 68- and 92-kDa activity and converted some of a 92-kDa proenzyme to an 82-kDa enzyme that was consistent with an active form of the MMP-9. Plasminogen activator zymographs of the conditioned media from the cancer cells showed that CSF treatment resulted in an increase in a 48-55 kDa plasminogen-dependent gelatinolytic activity that was characterized as human uPA. The conditioned medium from the cancer cells treated with CSFs stimulated the conversion of plasminogen to plasmin, providing a direct demonstration of the ability of enhanced uPA to increase plasmin-dependent proteolysis. The enhanced invasive behaviour of the cancer cells stimulated by CSFs was well correlated with the increase in MMPs and uPA activities. These data suggest that the enhanced production of extracellular matrix-degrading proteinases by the cancer cells in response to CSF treatment may represent a biochemical mechanism which promotes the invasive behaviour of the cancer cells. 相似文献

ErbB3 receptor tyrosine kinase has been shown to induce tumor progression in several types of cancer through heterodimerization with ErbB2. However, the role of ErbB3 and its ligand heregulin (HRG) in tumor metastasis remains poorly understood. In the present study, we tried to clarify their contributions to the metastasis of ErbB3-overexpressing B16-BL6 melanoma cells. Stimulation with HRG induced phosphorylation of ErbB3 and metastatic properties including MMP-9 expression, invasion, adhesion and experimental lung metastasis in vivo. These cellular responses were blocked by inhibiting the tyrosine kinase activity of EGFR with PD153035. In addition, phosphorylation of EGFR was rapidly induced by HRG, suggesting that EGFR is a possible heterodimeric counterpart of ErbB3. RNA interference demonstrated that subcutaneous tumor growth and angiogenesis was attenuated by inactivation of ErbB3 in cancer cells. Although experimental pulmonary metastasis was not affected by the knockdown of ErbB3, spontaneous metastasis was, even when primary tumors in the foot pad were amputated at a similar size. These results indicate that HRG-induced activation of ErbB3 via EGFR promotes tumor growth and metastasis of melanoma cells. 相似文献

Summary Invasion requires a number of distinct tumor cell interactions with host tissue, beginning with attachment to the matrix, followed by hydrolysis of matrix material and locomotion. Gene products which may be involved in these steps are discussed here. Laminin receptors and integrins have roles in the adhesion phase, while certain collagenases are prominent among the matrix-degrading enzymes. Autocrine motility factors, distinct from growth factors, appear to be involved in tumor cell locomotion. Finally, certain oncogenes, partricularly of theras family, are closely related with metastatic potential. A detailed understanding of the molecular biology of invasion and metastasis could ultimately lead to specific means of interfering with or even reversing these malignant processes. 相似文献

The leukocyte specific actin-binding protein L-plastin is aberrantly expressed in several nonhematopoetic malignant tumors. However, little is known about the functional consequences of L-plastin expression. Here, we investigated the function of L-plastin in human malignant melanoma cells. Knock-down of endogenous L-plastin by siRNA treatment reduced migration of the melanoma cell line IF6. However, in melanoma patients, no correlation existed between L-plastin expression and tumor stages. This implied that additional factors such as phosphorylation of L-plastin may influence its function in tumor cells. To investigate this further, EGFP-tagged wild-type L-plastin (wt-LPL-EGFP) and a mutated, nonphosphorylatable L-plastin protein (5A7A-LPL-EGFP), were expressed in the L-plastin negative melanoma cell line MV3. Biochemical analysis revealed that wt-LPL-EGFP is phosphorylated in MV3 cells while 5A7A-LPL-EGFP is not. Although both wt-LPL-EGFP and 5A7A-LPL-EGFP were targeted to, and promote the formation of, vinculin-containing adhesion sites, static adhesion to either Matrigel or isolated extracellular matrix molecules was neither influenced by expression of wt-LPL-EGFP nor by expression of 5A7A-LPL-EGFP when compared with EGFP expressing control cells. In contrast, haptotactic, but not chemotactic, migration of melanoma cells towards either Matrigel or isolated extracellular matrix molecules was similarly enhanced, if either 5A7A-LPL-EGFP or wt-LPL-EGFP were expressed in MV3 cells. Interestingly, only cells expressing the phosphorylatable wt-LPL-EGFP protein showed enhanced invasion into Matrigel. In line with these findings the in vivo metastatic capacity of mouse B16 melanoma cells correlates with expression and phosphorylation of L-plastin. These data show that an increase in melanoma cell invasiveness requires not only expression but also phosphorylation of L-plastin. 相似文献

Expression of epithelial cadherin and cavernous sinus invasion in human pituitary adenomas 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Pituitary adenomas generally are regarded as benign tumors,although some invade the cavernous sinus and recur.We examined the epithelial cadherin (E-CD) expression in30 pituitary adenomas (6 with cavernous sinus invasionand 24 without). Immunoreactivity of E-CD were foundin all pituitary adenomas but they were veryvarious. The presence of an association between E-CDexpression and cavernous sinus invasion was assessed. Therewere no significant differences in E-CD expression betweeninvasive and noninvasive adenomas. These results suggest thatE-CD expression is not associated with cavernous sinusinvasion in pituitary adenomas. 相似文献

CD9, a member of the tetraspanin family, functions as an organizer in “tetraspanin webs,” through interacting with other cell adhesion molecules. It plays a role in differentiation, fertilization, and cell migration. We investigated the expression and function of CD9 in melanoma. CD9 protein expression in B16 mouse melanoma and six human melanoma cell lines was decreased compared to normal melanocytes. B16F1 clones stably overexpressing CD9 had reduced ability to form colonies in soft agar; however, paradoxically these overexpressing clones had increased ability to invade Matrigel. Similarly, transient overexpression of CD9 in the human metastatic melanoma cell line WM9 dramatically decreased anchorage‐independent growth, while transient overexpression of CD9 in the radial growth phase cell line SbCl2 resulted in the gain of Matrigel invasion activity. DNA sequencing of CD9 cDNA from all six human melanoma cell lines did not show deletions, insertions, or mutations. Treatment of all six human melanoma cell lines with the histone deacetylase inhibitor trichostatin A increased CD9 levels. The DNA methylation inhibitor 5‐aza‐cytidine also increased CD9 protein levels with greater increases seen in cell lines derived from more malignant melanomas. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Serially transplantable rat mammary tumor (RMT) cells are not dependent on exogenous epidermal growth factor (EGF) and insulin-like growth factor-I for continuous growth in serum-free medium. Previously, we found that conditioned medium obtained from these cells contained EGF-like mitogenic activity and stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of a 185-kDa protein in EGF-dependent mammary epithelial cells. This protein is distinct from the EGF receptor and resembles a 185-kDa tyrosine-phosphorylated protein present in RMT cells themselves. The results of the studies reported here indicate that the tyrosine-phosphorylated p185 detected in growth factor-independent RMT cells and in human mammary epithelial cells exposed to RMT-conditioned medium was activated erbB-2 protein. Partial purification of the activating factor present in RMT-conditioned medium yielded a heparin-binding growth factor with biochemical properties similar to those of neu differentiation factor/heregulin (NDF/HRG). RNA-polymerase chain reaction analysis demonstrated that RMT cells expressed mRNA for NDF/HRG, and western-blot analysis confirmed the presence of the 45-kDa secreted form of NDF/HRG in conditioned medium from the growth factor-independent RMT cells. The biological activity of partially purified rat NDF/HRG was examined and found to be the same as that of the pure growth factor. In addition, we found that RMT-conditioned medium, fractionated on an anion-exchange column and by reverse-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography, contained a potent EGF-like growth factor that was distinct from NDF/HRG. This factor competes with 125I-EGF for binding to EGF receptors and has an apparent molecular mass of 6600 Da. This factor copurifies by high-pressure liquid chromotography with pure transforming growth factor-α (TGF-α), and the cells are positive for TGF-α mRNA. Thus, growth factor-independent RMT cells also synthesize and secrete TGF-α. These results indicate that growth factor-independent RMT cells secrete two growth factors with overlapping biological activities and suggest that autocrine loops mediated by these factors are important in the growth factor-independent proliferation of the RMT cells. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献
