The expression spectra of connexin (Cx) isoforms were investigated in three mouse melanoma cell lines: B16-F1 (F1), B16-F10 (F10), and B16-BL6 (BL6). Metastatic potential intensity was higher in the order of F1, F10, and BL6. A remarkable behavior of was found among 20 isoforms. The expression level of was highest in F1 and lowest in BL6. It was inductively predicted that might be a novel suppressor of metastasis. A -overexpressing BL6 cell line ( BL6) was developed and its properties were compared with those of a wild-type cell line of BL6 (W-BL6). Compared to W-BL6, BL6 showed reduced wound healing, Transwell® permeability, and matrix metalloproteinase 9 expression, suggesting the suppression of cellular migration and invasion. The expression of and in BL6 was also lower than in W-BL6, suggesting reduced cell adhesion. The decrease in cell adhesion was supported by the cell washing-out assay. In contrast, no difference between W-BL6 and BL6 was observed in cell proliferation, suggesting no effect on cell-cycle regulating factors. Finally, an in vivo assay revealed a significant decrease in the number of metastatic colonies of BL6 (176 ± 25/lung) in comparison with those of W-BL6 (252 ± 23/lung) in a mouse model. In conclusion, Cx45 is a novel suppressor of melanoma metastasis.

在三种小鼠黑色素瘤细胞系中研究了连接蛋白(Cx)亚型的表达谱:B16-F1(F1)、B16-F10(F10)和B16-BL6(BL6)。转移潜能强度按F1、F10和BL6的顺序升高。在20种亚型中发现了一种显著的行为。其表达水平在F1中最高,在BL6中最低。据推测,它可能是一种新型的转移抑制因子。构建了过表达该因子的BL6细胞系(该BL6),并将其特性与野生型BL6细胞系(W-BL6)进行比较。与W-BL6相比,该BL6的伤口愈合、Transwell®通透性和基质金属蛋白酶9表达降低,表明细胞迁移和侵袭受到抑制。该BL6中该因子和另一因子的表达也低于W-BL6,表明细胞黏附减少。细胞洗脱试验支持了细胞黏附的降低。相比之下,W-BL6和该BL6在细胞增殖方面未观察到差异,表明对细胞周期调节因子无影响。最后,体内试验显示,在小鼠模型中,该BL6的转移集落数量(176±25/肺)与W-BL6(252±23/肺)相比显著减少。总之,Cx45是黑色素瘤转移的新型抑制因子。
