Methods The endometrial stromal cells separated from the proliferative endometrial tissues were incubated with medium alone, 17-β estradiol (E2,10^-8 mol/L), medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA, 10^-6 mol/L), E2(10^-8 mol/L)+MPA (10^-6 mol/L), E2 (10^-8 mol/L)+MPA (10^-6 mol/L)+RU486 (10^-5 mol/L) or HB-EGF (10 ng/ml) for 48 h respectively. The expressions of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 were detected by in situ hybridization, immunocytochemistry, reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blotting. Results Compared with control group [mRNA, 0. 729 ± 0. 090 (MMP-9) and 1.056± 0.154 (TIMP-1); protein, 0.545 ±0.086 (MMP-9) and 0.745 ±0.154 (TIMP-1)], expressions of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 in E2 alone, progestin alone or E2 combined with progestin group were respectively:mRNA, 0.413 ± 0.069, 0.402 ± 0.073 and 0.407 ± 0.039; 0.487 ± 0.093, 0.503 ± 0.093 and 0.468 ± 0.075:protein, 0.294 ± 0.076, 0.331 ±0.064 and 0.265 ±0.049; 0.425 ±0.085, 0.397 ±0.065 and 0.435 ± 0.099. RU486 weakened the expression level of down-regulation, while HB-EGF elevated the level of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 after 48 h treatment (mRNA, 0.955 ± 0.068 and 1.396 ± 0.238; protein, 0. 780 ± 0.109 and 0.985 ± 0.165). Conclusions 1) Both E2 and progestin can down-regulate the expressions of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 in endometrial stromal cells, but RU486 can inhibit the effect. 2) HB-EGF can elevate the level of MMP-9 and TIMP-1. 3) E2, progestin and HB-EGF have effect on the ratio of MM-P/TIMP-1.展开更多

Methods RT-PCR was used to test the mRNA level of MMP-1 in 59 cases of cervical squamous cell cancer. Cell invasion was evaluated by Transwell assay to explore the effect of adding human recombinant MMP-1 (rhMMP-1) and PARI-siRNA on cervical cancer invasion. Results In cervical cancer tissues, more MMP-1 expression was observed than that in the normal cervical tissues, and its expression correlated with cancer status. Human recombinant MMP-1 (rhMMP-1) could promote Hela cell invasion, and its number of invasive cell correlated with the concentration of rhMMP-1. Disrupting the expression of PAR-1 reduced the MMP-1 promoting-effect on Hela cell invasion, but had no effect on non-MMP-1 invasive action. Conclusion The MMP-1/PAR-1 signaling pathway is involved in cervical cancer invasion. Therefore, blocking PAR-1 may represent a new therapeutic option for metastatic cervical cancer.展开更多
