Objective: To assess the expression of Promatrilysin in LoVo colon cancer cell by FVIIa stimulation,and to investigate the effect of MAPKs signal transduction pathway on up-regulation of Promatrilysin.

Methods: (1) The expression of ProMMP-7 was detected by Western blot at different time points (0,2,4,6,9,12 and 24 h) and with different doses of (0,0.1,1,5,10,25 and 100 nmol/L) FVIIa stimulation. The change of ProMMP-7 expression was observed with 5 mg/L tissue factor (TF) antibody prior to 100 nmol/L FVIIa. (2) The activation of MAPKs (ERK, p38, JNK) signaling pathways were assessed at different time points after being stimulated with 100 nmol/L FVIIa and the changes of ProMMP-7 expression were detected after the special signal pathway inhibitors (PD98059,SB203580,SP600125) were applied,respectively.

Results: (1) The expression of ProMMP-7 in LoVo cells was up-regulated by FVII a in a time-effect dependent and dose-effect dependent manner,and markedly reached the peak level at h12, 5.5 folds that of the control group (P=0.006).The up-regulation of ProMMP-7 was completely inhibited by blockade with TF antibody. (2) A time-dependent phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and P38 in LoVo cells was induced with FVIIa incubation,reached the peak at min10,2.2 folds and 3.9 folds those of the control groups respectively, but not JNK. (3) The upregulation effect of ProMMP-7 was partially blocked after incubation of ERK1/2 inhibitors PD98059 and P38 inhibitors SB203580 prior to FVIIa, The expression of ProMMP-7 decreased by 32%+/-5% and 61%+/-10% respectively (P<0.05).whereas JNK inhibitors SP600125 did not have the effect.

Conclusion: FVIIa induces tissue factor-dependent up-regulation of ProMMP-7 in LoVo cells. ERK1/2 and p38 signal pathways are not only involved in TF/FVIIa mediated signaling,but also related to the upregulation of MMP-7 in LoVo cells.

Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-7, unlike many MMPs, is typically expressed in epithelial cells. It has been linked to epithelial responses to infection, injury, and tissue remodeling including the progression of a number of cancers. We have now examined how MMP-7 expression changes in the progression to esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), and have studied mechanisms regulating its expression and its functional significance.

Nitro-fatty acids (NO(2)-FA) are electrophilic signaling mediators formed by reactions of nitric oxide and nitrite. NO(2)-FA exert anti-inflammatory signaling actions through post-translational protein modifications. We report that nitro-oleic acid (OA-NO(2)) stimulates proMMP-7 and proMMP-9 proteolytic activity via adduction of the conserved cysteine switch domain thiolate.

Background: The tumor-associated antigen 90K (TAA90K)/Mac-2-binding protein is expressed at elevated level in cancerous tissues and associated with poor prognosis. Since TAA90K has been implicated in the restructuring of the extracellular matrix, we examined the functional relationship between colon cancer cell-derived TAA90K and the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) promatrilysin (proMMP-7), and also tested whether TAA90K is a novel substrate for MMPs-2, -7 and -9.

Methods: The effect of TAA90K on proMMP-7 levels in HT-29 conditioned media was quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays.

(-)-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), one of the main constituents of green tea, has been reported to function as an antioxidant with chemopreventive potential. In contrast, we have recently reported that EGCG enhanced pro-matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-7 in HT-29 human colon cancer cells via spontaneous superoxide generation. In the present study, we examined the effects of dietary antioxidants on both spontaneous and EGCG-upregulated proMMP-7 production in HT-29 cells.
