AIM: To investigate the role of the p38MAPK signal transduction pathway in the metastasis and adhesion of hepatocellular carcinoma cell line HepG2 induced by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF).
METHODS: Hepatocellular cancinoma cell line HepG2 were or not pretreated with specific blocker (SB203580) of p38MAPK signal transduction pathway. ^3H-TdR infiltration and the experiment of rat tail colloid were used to measure the effects of different concentrations of VEGF on the homotypic and hetertypic adhesion in HepG2 cells. Flow cytometry was adopted to detect VEGF-induced expression of CD44v6 and by Boyden-Chamber assay was used to evaluate VEGF-induced metastasis of HepG2 cells.
RESULTS: After 1 and 5 μg/L VEGF induction for 60 min, the values (dpm/min) of ^3H-TdR infiltration in HepG2 cells were 1 758.67 ± 289.46 and 1 380.03 ± 328.55; for 90 min, the values were 3 124.30 ± 2 262.14 and 2 245.60 ± 273.24, respectively. After 10 μg/L VEGF induction, the values were 1 232.32 ± 201.04, 2 337.50 ± 333.04, and 2 236.99 ± 237.07, respectively, which were dramatically lower than those in control group (P 〈 0.05 or 0.01). However, in the HepG2 cells pretreated with SB203580, the values of ^3H- TdR infiltration after 60, 90 and 120 min were 1 232.32 ± 201.04, 2 337.50 ± 333.04, and 2 236.99 ± 237.07, respectively, and the homotypic adhesion induced by VEGF were inhibited. After 5 and 10 μg/L induction for 60 min, the optical densities (A values) of the experiment of rat tail colloid were 0.263 ± 0.021 and 0.238 ± 0.034, respectively. After 1, 5, and 10 μg/L VEGF induction for 90 min, the A values were 0.269 ± 0.023, 0.373± 0.083, and 0.393 ± 0.081, respectively; for 120 min, the A values were 0.371± 0.061, 0.390 ± 0.074, and 0.433± 0.122, respectively, in HepG2 cells, which were remarkably higher than those in control group (P 〈 0.05 or P 〈 0.01). However, in the HepG2 cells pretreated with SB203580, the A values after 60, 90, and 120 min were 0.201 ± 0.035, 0.347± 0.112, and 0.479± 0.217, respectively, and the hetertypic adhesion induced by VEGF was restrained. After 5 μg/L VEGF induction for 2 h, the CD44v6 positive HepG2 cells counted for a percentage of 32.6% ± 4.2%, but rate of positive cell decreased to 4.3% ± 0.54% when p38MAPK signal transduction pathway was blocked (P 〈 0.01).
CONCLUSION: VEGF can promote the hetertypic adhesion and decrease the homotypic adhesion of hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells by through p38MAPK signal transduction pathway, which play an important role in the invasion and metastasis of HepG2 cells.
