| Popis: | The purpose of these studies was to explore the genes associated with invasion and metastasis of human prostatic carcinoma line PC-3M in nude mice. After PC-3M cells were inoculated in orthotopic site (prostate) in male nude mice for two months, tumor cells were isolated from primary tumor and lymph node metastasis in the same mouse, respectively. Cell invasion and adhesion ability in vitro were first compared between two cell lines. Then human metastasis-related genes differentially expressed between them were analyzed by utilizing cDNA microarray technique. The in vitro cell invasion and adhesion potential of tumor cells from lymph node metastasis was significantly higher than those from primary tumor, Metastasis-related genes differentially expressed between those two cell lines were identified, all of them were up-regulated in the tumor cells from lymph node metastasis and could be categorized as: (1) genes encoding cellular matrix-degrading proteolytic enzyme including cathepsin and MMP; (2) genes encoding transcription factors; (3) genes related to heterotypic adhesion of tumor cells; (4) genes encoding cell surface receptors. Moreover, Four genes were chosen for semi-quantitative RT-PCR analysis, they showed a consistent expression pattern with that of cDNA microarray analysis. We concluded that the lymph node metastasis in nude mice given an injection of PC-3M cells in the prostate is a selective process favoring the survival and growth of a special subpopulation derived from primary tumor with specific genetic alterations, which may play a pivotal role in the metastasis of prostate cancer. Identification and further characterization of these genes may allow a better understanding of lymphatic metastasis in prostate carcinoma. |
