PRSS2 regulates EMT and metastasis via MMP-9 in gastric cancer
Serine protease 2 (PRSS2) is upregulated in gastric cancer tissues, correlates with poor prognosis and promotes migration and invasion of gastric cancer cells. However, the exact mechanism by which PRSS2 promotes metastasis in gastric cancer is unclear. We examined serum PRSS2 levels in healthy controls and gastric cancer patients by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and analyzed the correlation between PRSS2 serum level with the clinicopathological characteristics of gastric cancer patients and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) expression. A lentiviral MMP-9 overexpression vector was constructed and used to transfect gastric cancer cells with stable silencing of PRSS2, and migration, invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of gastric cancer cells were examined. High serum PRSS2 levels were detected in gastric cancer patients and associated with lymphatic metastasis and TNM stage. Serum PRSS2 was positively correlated with serum MMP-9 level. PRSS2 silencing inhibited EMT, and knock-down of PRSS2 partially abrogated cell metastasis and EMT caused by overexpression of MMP-9. These results suggest that PRSS2 promotes the migration and invasion of gastric cancer cells through EMT induction by MMP-9. Our findings suggest that PRSS2 may be a potential early diagnostic marker and therapeutic target of gastric cancer.
期刊介绍:
Acta histochemica, a journal of structural biochemistry of cells and tissues, publishes original research articles, short communications, reviews, letters to the editor, meeting reports and abstracts of meetings. The aim of the journal is to provide a forum for the cytochemical and histochemical research community in the life sciences, including cell biology, biotechnology, neurobiology, immunobiology, pathology, pharmacology, botany, zoology and environmental and toxicological research. The journal focuses on new developments in cytochemistry and histochemistry and their applications. Manuscripts reporting on studies of living cells and tissues are particularly welcome. Understanding the complexity of cells and tissues, i.e. their biocomplexity and biodiversity, is a major goal of the journal and reports on this topic are especially encouraged. Original research articles, short communications and reviews that report on new developments in cytochemistry and histochemistry are welcomed, especially when molecular biology is combined with the use of advanced microscopical techniques including image analysis and cytometry. Letters to the editor should comment or interpret previously published articles in the journal to trigger scientific discussions. Meeting reports are considered to be very important publications in the journal because they are excellent opportunities to present state-of-the-art overviews of fields in research where the developments are fast and hard to follow. Authors of meeting reports should consult the editors before writing a report. The editorial policy of the editors and the editorial board is rapid publication. Once a manuscript is received by one of the editors, an editorial decision about acceptance, revision or rejection will be taken within a month. It is the aim of the publishers to have a manuscript published within three months after the manuscript has been accepted
