Melittin is the predominant component of bee venom with cell membrane-disrupting capability. To release melittin on cell surfaces
to destroy tumor cell membranes, we designed a recombinant targeting toxin with an uPA cleavable link. It contains A Disintegrin-like
domain of ADAM 15 to selectively deliver fusion protein to the surface of the tumor cells expressing integrin αvβ3, a toxin
domain consisting of four repeats of N-terminal 22 amino acids of melittin, and an uPA cleavable link in between. The fusion
protein named as ADAM-Conj-Mel was successfully expressed in Escherichia coli and can be cleaved by uPA as well as conditioned medium of SW1990 tumor cells. In vitro, ADAM-Conj-Mel efficiently inhibits
proliferation of human melanoma (C32) tumor cells. In vivo, it reduces B16 tumor volume by approximately 80%. Our data suggested
that ADAM-Conj-Mel is a protein with potential in clinical development for cancer therapy. 相似文献

Activating K-Ras mutations and inactivating mutations of Smad4 are two common genetic alterations that occur in the development and progression of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDAC). To further study the individual and combinatorial roles of these two mutations in the pathogenesis of PDAC, immortalized human pancreas nestin postive cells (HPNE) were genetically modified by either expressing oncogenic K-Ras (HPNE/K-Ras), by shRNA knock down of Smad4 (HPNE/ShSmad4) or by creating both alterations in the same cell line (HPNE/K-Ras/ShSmad4). We previously found that expression of oncogenic K-Ras caused an increase in expression of EGFR and loss of Smad4 further enhanced the up regulation in expression of EGFR and that this increase in EGFR was sufficient to induce invasion. Here we further investigated the mechanism that links mutational alterations and EGFR expression with invasion. The increase in EGFR signaling was associated with up regulation of MMP9 and uPA protein and activity. Moreover, the increase in EGFR signaling promoted a nuclear translocation and binding of RelA (p65), a subunit of NF-κB, to the promoters of both MMP-9 and uPA. Treatment of HPNE/K-Ras/ShSmad4 cells with an inhibitor of EGFR reduced EGF-mediated NF-κB nuclear translocation and inhibitors of either EGFR or NF-κB reduced the increase in MMP-9 or uPA expression. In conclusion, this study provides the mechanism of how a combination of oncogenic K-Ras and loss of Smad4 causes invasion and provides the basis for new strategies to inhibit metastases. 相似文献

The uPAR·uPA protein–protein interaction (PPI) is involved in signaling and proteolytic events that promote tumor invasion and metastasis. A previous study had identified 4 (IPR-803) from computational screening of a commercial chemical library and shown that the compound inhibited uPAR·uPA PPI in competition biochemical assays and invasion cellular studies. Here, we synthesize 4 to evaluate in vivo pharmacokinetic (PK) and efficacy studies in a murine breast cancer metastasis model. First, we show, using fluorescence polarization and saturation transfer difference (STD) NMR, that 4 binds directly to uPAR with sub-micromolar affinity of 0.2 μM. We show that 4 blocks invasion of breast MDA-MB-231, and inhibits matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) breakdown of the extracellular matrix (ECM). Derivatives of 4 also inhibited MMP activity and blocked invasion in a concentration-dependent manner. Compound 4 also impaired MDA-MB-231 cell adhesion and migration. Extensive in vivo PK studies in NOD-SCID mice revealed a half-life of nearly 5 h and peak concentration of 5 μM. Similar levels of the inhibitor were detected in tumor tissue up to 10 h. Female NSG mice inoculated with highly malignant TMD-MDA-MB-231 in their mammary fat pads showed that 4 impaired metastasis to the lungs with only four of the treated mice showing severe or marked metastasis compared to ten for the untreated mice. Compound 4 is a promising template for the development of compounds with enhanced PK parameters and greater efficacy. 相似文献

BackgroundProstate cancer (PCa) is one of the most commonly encountered cancers and the leading cause of death worldwide. Currently used biomarkers accounts difficulties in discriminating benign from malignant cases or predicting outcome, so investigating new biomarkers performance is needed.ObjectivesAssessment of diagnostic and predictor roles of prostate health index (PHI) and urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) in PCa.Methods194 males with initial tPSA of 4–10 ng/mL were categorized into three groups: PCa, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and healthy control. Serum levels of tPSA, fPSA, p2PSA, and uPA were performed by ELISA with calculation of PHI as (p2PSA/fPSA) × √PSA.ResultsPHI and uPA were significantly higher in PCa patients relevant to BPH and healthy control (p ≤ 0.001). Both markers outperformed all assessed biomarkers and showed the highest area under the curve (AUC) in ROC curve analysis. Both were significantly higher in PCa patients with {Gleason score ≥ 7, late stages (cT2b,c; T3), LN extension and distant metastasis}relative to their counterparts. Additionally, PHI and uPA and were independent predictors of distant metastasis and Gleason score ≥ 7, while PHI was predictor of LN invasion (β = 0.25, p = 0.004).ConclusionPHI and uPA would be of potential value in discriminating between PCa, BPH and healthy men in addition, both are promising as independent predictors of adverse pathological features. 相似文献

Metformin has been shown to exert anti-cancer activities in several cancer cells and animal models. However, the molecular mechanisms of its anti-metastatic activities remain poorly understood and warrant further investigation. The aims of this study were to evaluate the ability of metformin to inhibit the migration and invasion of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells and identify its effects on signaling pathways. Our data indicate that metformin inhibits the migration and invasion of human HCC cells. Metformin was also found to significantly inhibit the expression and secretion of MMP-9 and uPA in HCC cells, and suppress the phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and JNK1/2. Treatment with an ERK1/2 inhibitor (PD98059) or JNK1/2 inhibitor (SP600125) enhanced the inhibitory effects of metformin on the migration and invasion of HCC cells. Moreover, metformin-induced inhibition of MMP-9 and uPA promoter activity also blocked the nuclear translocation of NF-κB and its binding to the MMP-9 and uPA promoters, and these suppressive effects were further enhanced by PD98059 or SP600125. Moreover, metformin markedly enhanced the anti-metastatic effects of sorafenib. In conclusion, metformin inhibits the migration and invasion of HCC cells by suppressing the ERK/JNK-mediated NF-κB-dependent pathway, and thereby reducing uPA and MMP-9 expression. Additionally, combination treatment with metformin and sorafenib yielded synergistic inhibitory effects in suppressing cell migration and invasion of HCC cells. These findings provide insight into the molecular mechanisms involved in the anti-metastatic effects of metformin, as well as its ability to enhance the chemosensitivity of HCC cells to sorafenib. 相似文献

Myofibroblasts (Mfs) that persist in a healing wound promote extracellular matrix (ECM) accumulation and excessive tissue contraction. Increased levels of integrin αvβ5 promote the Mf phenotype and other fibrotic markers. Previously we reported that maintaining uPA (urokinase plasminogen activator) bound to its cell-surface receptor, uPAR prevented TGFβ-induced Mf differentiation. We now demonstrate that uPA/uPAR controls integrin β5 protein levels and in turn, the Mf phenotype. When cell-surface uPA was increased, integrin β5 levels were reduced (61%). In contrast, when uPA/uPAR was silenced, integrin β5 total and cell-surface levels were increased (2-4 fold). Integrin β5 accumulation resulted from a significant decrease in β5 ubiquitination leading to a decrease in the degradation rate of internalized β5. uPA-silencing also induced α-SMA stress fiber organization in cells that were seeded on collagen, increased cell area (1.7 fold), and increased integrin β1 binding to the collagen matrix, with reduced activation of β1. Elevated cell-surface integrin β5 was necessary for these changes after uPA-silencing since blocking αvβ5 function reversed these effects. Our data support a novel mechanism by which downregulation of uPA/uPAR results in increased integrin αvβ5 cell-surface protein levels that regulate the activity of β1 integrins, promoting characteristics of the persistent Mf. 相似文献
