Role of activated protein C in facilitating basement membrane invasion by tumor cells.

Abstract:

:The present study was undertaken to investigate the role of plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) and activated protein C (APC) in the regulation of tumor cell invasion. PAI-1 was purified in active form from conditioned medium of human umbilical vein endothelial cells under denaturing conditions (4 M guanidine-HCl). The purified inhibitor reacts with urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) and APC. Two selected human lines, HOC-I (ovarian cancer cells) and SMT-ccl (choriocarcinoma cells), preferentially invaded through reconstituted basement membranes in an in vitro invasion assay using a modified Boyden chamber. The present study determined the efficacy of these two agents (PAI-1 and APC) used alone or in combination in inhibiting or facilitating tumor cell invasion. Active PAI-1 inhibited the tumor cell surface receptor-bound uPA activity. In an in vitro invasion assay, active PAI-1 reduced tumor cell invasive potential in a dose-dependent manner. When SMT-ccl cells saturated with uPA-PAI-1 complexes were treated with a 50-fold molar excess of APC, PAI-1-APC complex was demonstrated in conditioned medium, indicating that PAI-1 was dissociated from receptor-bound uPA on tumor cells and that tumor cell-associated uPA restored its enzymatic activity. Although APC alone had no effect on tumor cell invasion, the addition of APC to the cells saturated with uPA-PAI-1 complexes showed regeneration of tumor cell surface receptor-bound uPA activity and produced substantial and efficient invading effects. These data suggest that PAI-1 activity may be neutralized by APC or that APC may promote tumor cell invasion via inactivation of PAI-1 by formation of a stable PAI-1-APC complex. These observations suggest that APC may play a critical role in the initiation of a hematogenous metastatic process (extravasation step).
