目的 探讨在结肠癌细胞中整合素ανβ6-ERK2信号直接通路对MMP-9分泌的影响,进一步探讨结肠癌转移的机制。方法 采用流式细胞仪检测各细胞表面ανβ整合素的表达,采用明胶酶谱分析法和MMP-9活性检测法,定性定量分析不同结肠癌细胞在TCM中MMP-9的分泌水平。结果 WiDr MOCK,HT29MOCK细胞表面β6表达量明显高于WiDrA/Sense,HT29A/Sense细胞,且每个细胞分泌到无血清TCM中的MMP-9总量比WiDrA/Sense、HT29A/Sense细胞高2~3倍。SW480 β6 Full Length细胞分泌到TCM中的MMP-9分泌量不仅显著高于SW480MOCK细胞,而且能被MEK-1抑制剂PD98059所抑制。SW480 β6 Full Length细胞表面β6表达量和SW480 β6 Truncate细胞表面β6表达量相近,但SW480 β6 Truncate细胞在TCM中MMP-9的分泌量降低到SW480Mock细胞的分泌水平。结论 抑制β6的表达,阻滞MEK或删除β6-ERK2的连接位点均可抑制MMPO的分泌;阻断ανβ6-ERK2直接连接可降低结肠癌细胞MMPO的分泌,抑制结肠癌细胞侵袭和转移。
Objective To investigate the effect of integrin ανβ6-associated ERK2 on both MMP-9 secretion and metastasis of colon cancer cells. Methods Flow cytometry was applied to analyse ανβ6 expression in colon cancer cell lines WiDr, HT29 and SW480. The MMP-9 levels in TCM were detected using Gelatin Zymography and MMP-9 activity assay. Results β6 expression on the cell surface of WiDr A/ Sense,HT29 A/Sense was significantly lower than that of WiDr MOCK, HT29 MOCK cells. Amounts of MMP-9 secreted per cell into serum-free TCM from both lines was 2 - 3-fold higher for WiDr MOCK, HT29 MOCK compared with WiDr A/Sense, HT29 A/Sense cells. SW480136 transfectants not only secrete markedly more MMP-9 into TCM than SW480 MOCK cells but this was inhibited by the MEK-1 inhibitor, PD98059. SW480 β6 Truncate cells lacking the binding site for ERK2 reduced MMP-9 secretion to levels seen for SW480 Mock cells. Conclusion Suppression of ανβ6 expression, MEK inhibition, or deletion of the ανβ6-ERK2 binding site inhibits MMP-9 secretion. Blockade of integrin ανβ6-ERK2 binding can inhibit MMP-9 secretion and inhibit cellullar metastases in colonic cancer.
