Abstract:
Objective The F10 gene was found in the initial stage of our study to be highly expressed in hydatidiform mole. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of theoverexpression or depletion of F10 on the invasiveness of the choriocarcinoma cell line JAR and explore the relationship of F10 expression with the invasiveness and metastasis ofchoriocarcinoma. Methods Using cell transfection and RNA interference technology, we established JAR choriocarcinoma cell lines with stablyoverexpressedor silenced F10 gene.We randomly and equally assigned 30 SPF nude mice into the three groups to receive the injection of JAR cellswith overex-pressed F10 ( F10 overexpression group) , untreated JAR cells ( control group) , and JAR cells with silenced F10( F10 silence group) . At 5 weeks after the JAR cell injection, we harvested the subcutaneous tumor tissues from the mice, determined the expressions of ma-trix metalloproteinases (MMP), tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase-1(TIMP-1), and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1(PAI-1), and compared by Western blot and immunohistochemistry, and compared the expressions among the three groups of mice. Results Im-munohistochemistryshowed significantlyup-regulated expressions of MMP-2, -8, -11, -16, and-19 and down-regulated expressions of TIMP-1 and PAI-1 in the subcutaneous tumor tissues in the F10 overexpression group as compared with the control and F10 silence groups ( P<0.05) .Western blot also exhibitedextremely significantly up-regulated expressions of MMP-2,-8,-11,-16, and -19 pro-teins anddown-regulated expressions of TIMP-1 and PAI-1 proteins in the F10 overexpression groupin comparison with the control and F10 silence groups( P<0.01 ) . Conclusion By up-regulating the expressions of MMPs and down-regulating the expressions of TIMP-1 and PAI-1, the F10 gene might be an upstream stimulating factor involved in the proliferation, invasiveness, and metastasis of-choriocarcinoma cells.
