Elevated expression of matrix metalloproteinase-3 in human osteosarcoma and its association with tumor metastasis.

چکیده
PURPOSE Matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) is one of the several MMPs that is associated with malignant tumors of breast, colon, cervix and lung, where its expression has been correlated with tumor invasion and metastasis. However, the role of MMP-3 in metastasis of osteosarcoma has not yet been explored. METHODS MMP-3 expression in 15 primary and metastatic osteosarcomas with case-matched adjacent non-tumor tissue was assessed by immunohistochemistry and quantitative RT-PCR. Further, MMP-3 mRNA and protein levels were also determined in osteoblast and osteosarcoma cell lines. Additionally, migration and invasion assays were performed in MMP-3 knockdown cells. RESULTS MMP-3 was expressed in 86.6% (13/15) of the osteosarcoma patients and its expression was significantly higher in metastatic tumors as compared to the primary osteosarcoma tumor tissues. Furthermore, osteosarcoma cell lines showed higher MMP-3 expression as compared to osteoblast cell lines. siRNA-mediated MMP-3 knockdown in osteosarcoma cell lines significantly inhibited their migration and invasion properties. CONCLUSION Our results demonstrated that MMP-3 expression is deregulated in osteosarcomas and this potentially contributes to metastasis and might be a promising marker for the prognosis and therapy of metastatic osteosarcoma.

In the human genome, chromosome 11 contains a cluster of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) genes. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the promoter region of MMP genes are important for MMP expression. A common adenine deletion polymorphism (5A) at position -1171 of the MMP-3 gene promoter (5´-AAAAAACCAT-3´ change to 5´-AAAAACCAT-3´) facilitates transcriptional factor binding and MMP-3 promoter acti...
