A new liver metastatic and peritoneal dissemination model established from the same human pancreatic cancer cell line: analysis using cDNA macroarray.
To elucidate the mechanisms of metastasis, we established two sublines HPC-1H5 with a highly liver metastatic cell line and HPC-1P5a with a highly peritoneal disseminating cell line, which were sequentially selected from the parental pancreatic cancer cell line HPC-1. Using these three cell lines, we investigated several biological properties and mRNA levels of differentially-expressed genes involved in cancer metastasis by cDNA macroarray. Microscopic findings for the three cell lines were the same. The tumorigenicity, in vitro growth ability, motile activity, adhesive activity and the production of IL-8 of metastatic sublines were higher than those of parental HPC-1 cells. Particularly, HPC-1H5 cells showed clearly higher levels of IL-8 expression and tumors of HPC-1H5 cells grew faster and bigger than those of HPC-1P5a cells. In cDNA macroarray analysis of HPC-1H5 cells, 22 genes were up-regulated and 44 genes were down-regulated compared with parental HPC-1 cells. In HPC-1P5a cells, 9 genes were up-regulated and 28 genes were down-regulated compared with parental HPC-1 cells. This study provides a demonstration of global gene expression analysis of pancreatic cancer cells with liver metastasis and peritoneal dissemination. Furthermore, our results provide a new insight into the study of liver metastasis and peritoneal dissemination of human pancreatic cancer.
