Abstract:
:The interaction of human gestational choriocarcinoma cell line, SMT-cc1, with bovine vascular endothelial cells, CPAE, was examined in an in vitro coculture model. SMT-cc1 cells have urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) on their cell surface, and more than half of the cell-associated uPA is enzymatically inactive single-chain uPA (pro-uPA). uPA is bound to a specific surface receptor that is not completely saturated. Also, the plasmin activity is detected on their cell surface. We measured the ability of added SMT-cc1 cells to cause morphological changes in CPAE cells, leading to destruction of CPAE cells. SMT-cc1 cells that adhered to CPAE cell monolayers were capable of causing CPAE cell destruction, followed by detachment, within 6 hr after coculture. Nonspecific serine proteinase inhibitor, aprotinin, and anti-catalytic antibody against plasmin(ogen) effectively inhibited the destruction/detachment in a dose-dependent manner. SMT-cc1 cell-mediated CPAE cell destruction was suppressed for 6 hr in the presence of aprotinin, at a concentration of 20 micrograms/ml, or anti-plasmin antibody, at a concentration of > or = 10 micrograms/ml, suggesting that the destruction is closely related to the proteolytic enzyme, plasmin. We suggest that the destruction of endothelial cells by some tumor cells is associated with tumor cell-associated proteolytic activity, and the uPA-plasmin cascade plays an important role as a critical step during blood-borne metastasis.
