PG - 557-64 AB - In this study, we describe rat NK cell-derived MMPs including membrane-type MMPs (MT-MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of MMP (TIMPs). RT-PCR analysis from cDNA of rat A-NK cells revealed mRNA for MMP-2, MMP-9, MMP-7, MMP-10, MMP-11, MMP-13, MT1-MMP, MT2-MMP, TIMP-1, and TIMP-2. The RNK-16 cells expressed mRNA for MMP-7, MMP-10, MMP-11, MT1-MMP, MT2-MMP, TIMP-1, and TIMP-2, in addition to MMP-3 and MMP-13. Western blot analysis confirmed proteins for MT1-MMP and MT2-MMP in RNK-16 cells. TIMP-1 in rat A-NK cells was present at molecular mass of 34-kDa protein which may represent a highly glycosylated form. Genistein, a natural isoflavone found in soybeans, inhibited proliferation of RNK-16 cells in dosage dependent manner. In addition, it down-regulated the expression of MMP-13, MT1-MMP, TIMP-1 and TIMP-2. Moreover, genistein greatly impaired the ability of RNK-16 cells to invade through a model basement membrane. This effect might be mediated by the observed down-regulation of MMP-13 and MT1-MMP.
