Our previous work showed that ET-3 could promote survival of metastatic mela noma cells via its altered expression. In this study, we investigated the mechanisms responsible for these gene-induced phenotypes in melanoma cells. An ET-3 gene sequence-specific shRNA vector pLVTHM-ET3-RNAi was constructed and transfected into human malignant melanoma cells A375 and MMRU, and the resultant molecular events and cellular changes were examined. As compared with the empty-vector group, cell proliferation was slowed down, and the growth inhibition rates were 38.9% in A375 cells and 38.4% in MMRU cells after transfection. In addition, cell invasion capability was also inhibited, with a reduction of 62.2% in A375 cells and 54.3% in MMRU cells. The percentage of apoptotic cells was found to increase. Meanwhile, in both cell lines, secreted protein acidic and rich in cy teine (SPARC) levels were down-regulated together with inhibition of its upstream signaling molecule, NF-kB. Thus, the current results suggested that down-regulated expression of ET3 attenuates the ma lignant behaviors of human melanoma ceils partially by decreasing the expression of SPARC and NF-kB.展开更多
