Abstract

Breast cancer is characterized by a hypoxic microenvironment inside the tumor mass, contributing to cell metastatic behavior. Hypoxia induces the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF-1α), a transcription factor for genes involved in angiogenesis and metastatic behavior, including the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), and integrins. Integrin receptors play a key role in cell adhesion and migration, being considered targets for metastasis prevention. We investigated the migratory behavior of hypoxia-cultured triple-negative breast cancer cells (TNBC) and endothelial cells (HUVEC) upon αvβ3 integrin blocking with Dis-01, an RGD disintegrin with high affinity to this integrin. Boyden chamber, HUVEC transmigration, and wound healing assays in the presence of Dis-01 were performed in hypoxic conditions. Dis-01 produced similar effects in the two oxygen conditions in the Boyden chamber and transmigration assays. In the wound healing assay, hypoxia abolished Dis-01's inhibitory effect on cell motility and decreased the MMP-9 activity of conditioned media. These results indicate that αvβ3 integrin function in cell motility depends on the assay and oxygen levels, and higher inhibitor concentrations may be necessary to achieve the same inhibitory effect as in normoxia. These versatile responses add more complexity to the role of the αvβ3 integrin during tumor progression.

摘要

乳腺癌的特征是肿瘤内存在缺氧微环境,这有助于细胞转移行为。缺氧诱导缺氧诱导因子 (HIF-1α) 的表达,HIF-1α 是参与血管生成和转移行为的基因的转录因子,包括血管内皮生长因子 (VEGF)、基质金属蛋白酶 (MMPs) 和整合素。整合素受体在细胞黏附和迁移中发挥关键作用,被认为是预防转移的靶点。我们研究了缺氧培养的三阴性乳腺癌细胞 (TNBC) 和内皮细胞 (HUVEC) 在 αvβ3 整合素被 Dis-01 阻断后的迁移行为,Dis-01 是一种对该整合素有高亲和力的 RGD 整联蛋白水解酶。在缺氧条件下进行 Boyden 室、HUVEC 迁移和划痕愈合试验,观察 Dis-01 的作用。在 Boyden 室和迁移试验中,Dis-01 在两种氧条件下产生相似的效果。在划痕愈合试验中,缺氧会消除 Dis-01 对细胞迁移的抑制作用,并降低条件培养基中 MMP-9 的活性。这些结果表明,αvβ3 整合素在细胞迁移中的功能取决于试验和氧水平,并且可能需要更高的抑制剂浓度才能达到与常氧相同的抑制效果。这些多样的反应为 αvβ3 整合素在肿瘤进展过程中的作用增加了更多的复杂性。
