Maspin has been shown to inhibit tumor cell invasion and metastasis in breast tumor cells. Maspin expression was detected in normal breast and prostate epithelial cells, whereas tumor cells exhibited reduced or no expression. However, the regulatory mechanism of maspin expression remains unknown. We report here a rapid and robust induction of maspin expression in prostate cancer cells (LNCaP, DU145, and PC3) and breast tumor cells (MCF7) following wild type p53 expression from an adenovirus p53 expression vector (AdWTp53). p53 activates the maspin promoter by binding directly to the p53 consensus-binding site present in the maspin promoter. DNA-damaging agents and cytotoxic drugs induced endogenous maspin expression in cells containing the wild type p53. Maspin expression was refractory to the DNA-damaging agents in cells containing mutant p53. These results, combined with recent studies of the tumor metastasis suppressor gene KAI1 and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI1), define a new category of molecular targets of p53 that have the potential to negatively regulate tumor invasion and/or metastasis. 相似文献

Transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta promotes breast cancer metastasis to bone. To determine whether the osteolytic factor parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) is the primary mediator of the tumor response to TGF-beta, mice were inoculated with MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells expressing a constitutively active TGF-beta type I receptor. Treatment of the mice with a PTHrP-neutralizing antibody greatly decreased osteolytic bone metastases. There were fewer osteoclasts and significantly decreased tumor area in the antibody-treated mice. TGF-beta can signal through both Smad and mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase pathways. Stable transfection of wild-type Smad2, Smad3, or Smad4 increased TGF-beta-stimulated PTHrP secretion, whereas dominant-negative Smad2, Smad3, or Smad4 only partially reduced TGF-beta-stimulated PTHrP secretion. When the cells were treated with a variety of protein kinases inhibitors, only specific inhibitors of the p38 MAP kinase pathway significantly reduced both basal and TGF-beta-stimulated PTHrP production. The combination of Smad dominant-negative blockade and p38 MAP kinase inhibition resulted in complete inhibition of TGF-beta-stimulated PTHrP production. Furthermore, TGF-beta treatment of MDA-MB-231 cells resulted in a rapid phosphorylation of p38 MAP kinase. Thus, the p38 MAP kinase pathway appears to be a major component of Smad-independent signaling by TGF-beta and may provide a new molecular target for anti-osteolytic therapy. 相似文献

Autocrine transforming growth factor-beta signaling mediates Smad-independent motility in human cancer cells 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) is a pleiotropic growth factor that plays a critical role in modulating cell growth, differentiation, and plasticity. There is increasing evidence that after cells lose their sensitivity to TGF-beta-mediated growth inhibition, autocrine TGF-beta signaling may potentially promote tumor cell motility and invasiveness. To understand the molecular mechanisms by which autocrine TGF-beta may selectively contribute to tumor cell motility, we have generated MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells stably expressing a kinase-inactive type II TGF-beta receptor (T beta RII-K277R). Our data indicate that T beta RII-K277R is expressed, can associate with the type I TGF-beta receptor, and block both Smad-dependent and -independent signaling pathways activated by TGF-beta. In addition, wound closure and transwell migration assays indicated that the basal migratory potential of T beta RII-K277R expressing cells was impaired. The impaired motility of T beta RII-K277R cells could be restored by reconstituting TGF-beta signaling with a constitutively active TGF-beta type I receptor (ALK5(TD)) but not by reconstituting Smad signaling with Smad2/4 or Smad3/4 expression. In addition, the levels of ALK5(TD) expression sufficient to restore motility in the cells expressing T beta RII-K277R were associated with an increase in phosphorylation of Akt and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 but not Smad2. These data indicate that different signaling pathways require different thresholds of TGF-beta activation and suggest that TGF-beta promotes motility through mechanisms independent of Smad signaling, possibly involving activation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt and/or mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways. 相似文献
