title: Repressions of MMP-9 expression and NF-kappa B localization are involved in inhibition of lung carcinoma 95-D cell invasion by (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate.
abstract: Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) repressed the invasion of lung carcinoma 95-D cells in invasion assay. RT-PCR analysis illuminated that 40 microM EGCG down-regulated the expression of MMP-9 by 45.7% and the result of Western blot analysis provided further evidence. NF-kappa B localized in the nucleus of the 95-D cells was diminished in a dose-dependent manner in EGCG-treated cells as shown by Western blot. Intracellular oxidants were more abundant in invasive cells than in invasion-suppressed cells fed with EGCG for 18 h. Thus, the inhibition of tumor invasion by EGCG was shown to be attributed to decreases of the expression of MMP-9 and NF-kappa B, which may result from decrease of intracellular oxidants.
