Abstract:

Objective To investigate the role of metastasis associated protein 1(MTA1)in estrogen regulated expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9)and tissue inhibitor of metalprotease-1(TIMP-1)in estrogen receptor (ER)positive breast cancer cells.Methods MTA1 knockdown cell model was generated based on MCF-7 breast cancer cell line by transfected with MTA1-shRNA.The mRNA and protein level of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 in wild type MCF-7(MCF-7WT)and MCF-7MTA1-shRNA before and after 17β-estradiol(E2)treatment were examined by Real-time PCR and Western blot respectively.Results The MTA1-shRNA showed maximally 84.9% suppression of MTA1 expression in MCF-7,suggesting a satisfied MTA1 knockdown cell model was established for subsequent experiments.After treated with E2 for 48h,MCF-7WT showed an increment of 46%(P<0.05)and 37%(P<0.05)of the mRNA and protein level of MMP-9 and a decrement of 32.3%(P<0.05)and 18.2%(P<0.05)of TIMP-1;MCF-7MTA1-shRNA showed a decrement of 32.3%(P<0.05)and 18.2%(P<0.05)of mRNA and protein expression of MMP-9 respectively but no significant difference in TIMP-1 comparing with MCF-7WT before treated with Estradiol.After E2 treatment,MCF-7MTA1-shRNA didn′t show significant change of MMP-9 except decrements of 32.3%(P<0.05)and 18.2%(P<0.05)in the mRNA and protein levels of TIMP-1.Conclusion MTA1 may be involved in the pathway by which estrogen regulated the expression of MMP-9 but not TIMP-1 in ER positive breast cancer cells.
