Abstract:
Objective To investigate the correlation between moderate hypoxia and tumor invasiveness in colon carcinoma cell line HT‐29 and detect the expression of NF‐κB protein in nucleus and activities of MMP‐2/9 ,so as to explore its latent mecha‐nism of malignant transformation .Methods The moderate hypoxia model was established according to the pressure of O2 of tumor in vivo .After different period in moderate hypoxia ,activities of MMP‐2/9 secreted by HT‐29 cells were measured by gelatin zymog‐raphy ,NF‐κB levels in nucleus were assessed by Western blot after extraction of nucleic protein .Results MMP‐2/9 activities under moderate hypoxia gradually up‐regulated in 12 h and reached the peak at 24 h .The expression of NF‐κB protein in nucleus was simi‐lar to that of MMP‐2/9 .Conclusion Moderate hypoxia could induce malignant phenotype in HT‐29 cells through up‐regulating MMP‐2/9 activities ,in which NF‐κB may involve in this progression .
