Membrane-type 1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) is expressed both in carcinoma cells and in surrounding stromal fibroblasts. MT1-MMP localizes to the surface of tumor cells and is thought to play an important role in tumor invasion. To analyze the mechanism of MT1-MMP gene expression in epithelial tumor cells, the dog kidney epithelial cell line Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) was transformed by oncogenes, including v-src, and expression of MT1-MMP was examined. Transformation of MDCK cells with v-src resulted in loss of cell-to-cell contacts and morphological change. Expression of MT1-MMP in v-src-transformed cells was identified by Northern and Western blotting. Gelatin zymography analysis showed that progelatinase A in the culture medium was processed from latent to activated form by MDCK cells transformed with v-src. The MDCK cells transformed by v-src were tumorigenic in the subcutis (ectopic) and kidney (orthotopic) of nude mice and spontaneously metastasized to the lung after orthotopic implantation. These results suggest that MT1-MMP induced by v-src transformation may promote invasiveness of transformed cells.

D009361 Neoplasm Invasiveness Ability of neoplasms to infiltrate and actively destroy surrounding tissue. Invasiveness, Neoplasm,Neoplasm Invasion,Invasion, Neoplasm
D009363 Neoplasm Proteins Proteins whose abnormal expression (gain or loss) are associated with the development, growth, or progression of NEOPLASMS. Some neoplasm proteins are tumor antigens (ANTIGENS, NEOPLASM), i.e. they induce an immune reaction to their tumor. Many neoplasm proteins have been characterized and are used as tumor markers (BIOMARKERS, TUMOR) when they are detectable in cells and body fluids as monitors for the presence or growth of tumors. Abnormal expression of ONCOGENE PROTEINS is involved in neoplastic transformation, whereas the loss of expression of TUMOR SUPPRESSOR PROTEINS is involved with the loss of growth control and progression of the neoplasm. Proteins, Neoplasm
