Methods: Experimental metastatic potentiality of two kinds ofcell lines, HT29 and LoVo cells were compared by using nude mice model for human colorectal carcinoma liver metastasis. The expressions of epithelial-cadherin (E-cad), laminin receptor(LNR) and type Ⅳcollagenase(Ⅳ col) in two kinds of HCC cell lines, HT29 and LoVo cells, were observed quantitatively. The intracellular CD44V6 expressed in mRNA and in protein of the HCC cell lines were detected with in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry. Results: 100% of nude mice had liver metastasis, which demonstrated thatLoVo is a high metastatic HCC cell line. However, HT29 is a relatively low metastatic HCC cell line becauseonly 42. 9 % of nude mice transplanted HT29 cells had liver metastasis. The expressions of E--cad, LNR andIVcol of HT29 and LoVo cells in vitro were detected quantitatively. HT29 cells expressed E-cad with weakpositive on cell membrane. and LoVo cells almost expressed none. LoVo cells expressed higher level of LNRand tV col than HT29 cells did. The expression of CD44V6 in LoVo cells whether in mRNA or in protein werehigher than that of HT29 cells. Conclusion: LoVo is a high metastatic HCC cell line while HT29 is a relatively low metastatic HCC cell line. E-cadherin, LNR, IV col and CD44V6 can determine the metastatic potentialof HCC cells.展开更多
