Augmented release of matrix metalloproteinase-9 by PKC activation in organotypic cultures of human breast cancer and adjacent normal breast tissue and fibroadenoma.
The organotypic culture technique and quantitative gelatin zymography were used to determine the expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 and MMP-2 in human breast cancer and adjacent normal breast tissue and fibroadenoma. MMP-9 and MMP2 were constitutively expressed in all cultures. The release of these two enzymes in breast cancer was higher than that in adjacent normal breast tissue and fibroadenoma. Administration of 12-o-tetradecanoyl- phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) increased the release of MMP-9 but not of MMP-2. This response was inhibited by protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor (H7), transcription inhibitor (actinomycin D) and translation inhibitor (cycloheximide). Moreover, the increased level of MMP-9 by TPA in breast cancer was also higher than that in adjacent normal breast tissue and fibroadenoma. These phenomena were also observed in the DAG-treated culture. These findings suggested that the MMP-9 expression in the breast cancer tissue may be more sensitive for the PKC activation.
