PG - 171-8 AB - Several matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of MMPs (TIMPs) were studied in highly invasive (MDA-MB-231) and slightly invasive (MCF-7, T47D, BT-20) breast cancer cell lines. Investigations were carried out at the protein level and/or at the mRNA level, either in cells cultured as monolayers on plastic, or in cells seeded on a thin layer of Matrigel basement membrane matrix. Analysis of MMP expression by RT-PCR showed expression of MMP-1. MMP-3, and MMP-13 in highly invasive MDA-MB-231 cells, but not in slightly invasive cell lines. The extracellular secretion of MMP-1 and MMP-3 by MDA-MB 231 cells could be also shown by ELISA. TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 mRNAs were found in all cell lines, however, the extracellular secretion of both TIMPs was much higher in MDA-MB-231 cells than in the other cell lines. When the cells were cultured on Matrigel matrix, MMP-9 expression was induced in MDA-MB-231 cells only, as assessed by RT-PCR and zymography experiments. The invasive potential of MDA-MB-231 cells evaluated in vitro through Matrigel was significantly inhibited by the MMP inhibitor BB-2516, by 25% and 50% at the concentrations of 2 x 10(-6) M and 10(-5) M, respectively. In conclusion, our data show that highly invasive MDA-MB-231 cells but not slightly invasive T47D, MCF-7 and BT-20 cells express MMP-1, MMP-3, MMP-9 and MMP-13. MMP-9 which is specifically up-regulated by cell contact to Matrigel, may play a key role in the invasiveness of MDA-MB-231 cells through basement membranes.
