Abstract:
:We have established human oral-squamous-cancer cell lines, BHY and HN, derived from non-metastatic cancer and metastatic cancer respectively. We examined the expression of matrix-degrading enzymes and their inhibitors in these cell lines. Both cell lines expressed pro-matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)1, proMMP2, proMMP9, membrane-type MMP and urokinase-type plasminogen activator. In addition to these enzymes, BHY cells secreted proMMP7 and procathepsin L, while HN cells secreted a large amount of active MMP2. BHY cells secreted a tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase, TIMP2, but only a trace level of TIMP1. Contrary to BHY cells, HN cells secreted TIMP1, but only a trace level of TIMP2. When we inoculated these cells into the masseter muscle of nude mice, both types of cell formed solid tumors, whose microscopic appearance was identical to that of the original tumors. BHY tumors were highly differentiated squamous-cell carcinomas, and invasive to the masseter muscle and the mandibular bone. Despite their local aggressiveness, BHY tumors did not metastasize to any distant organs. HN tumors were poorly differentiated squamous-cell carcinomas, weakly invasive to the muscle, but not to the mandibular bone. However, HN tumors frequently metastasized to cervical lymph nodes. These results suggest that the net activity of MMP2 (active MMP2/TIMP2) and cathepsin L secreted from cancer cells may contribute respectively to lymph-node metastasis and to bone invasion by oral cancer cells.
