| Abstract |
Backgrounds and Objectives: Metastasis is a complex multistep process that requires sequential interactions between the invasive cell and the extra-cellular matrix. Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) is a multifunctional regulator of cellular differentiation, motility and growth. Loss of sensitivity to the growth inhibitory effects by TGF-β1 plays important roles in neoplastic progression. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of TGF-β1 in the neoplastic invasion and metastasis through matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) of laryngeal cancer cell lines.
Material and Methods: Two laryngeal cancer cell lines, SNU-899 and SNU-1076 were treated with recombinant TGF-β1 , and the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 was immunohistochemically evaluated and gelatinase activity was studied by gelatin zymogram.
Results
The cell growth inhibition was evident on 4th days after 1ng/ml and 10ng/ml TGF-β1 treatment. The expressions of MMP-2 and MMP-9, and their gelatinase activities were increased in dose-dependent manner.
Conclusion
TGF-β1 treatment in laryngeal cancer cell lines induces the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9, thus playing a role in the digestion of extracellular matrix gelatin. |
