Effects of Tea Polyphenols on the Invasion and Matrix Metalloproteinases Activities of Human Fibrosarcoma HT1080 Cells

Abstract: The effects of tea polyphenols on the invasion of highly metastatic human fibrosarcoma HT1080 cells through a monolayer of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and the accompanying basal membrane were investigated. Among the tea polyphenols tested, epicatechin gallate (ECg), epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg), and theaflavin strongly suppressed the invasion of HT1080 cells into the monolayer of HUVECs/gelatin membrane, whereas epicatechin, epigallocatechin, tea flavonols, tea flavones, and gallate deri… Show more

“…1 The latter two also exert inhibitory activity toward the two gelatinases, but whereas EGC is effective at concentrations 20 -30 times higher than EGCG, ECG has been reported to block gelatinases at concentrations close to those registered here for EGCG. 11 This fits with the suggestion that both the flavanol skeleton and the galloyl moiety are necessary for the inhibitory activity. In fact, gallic acid itself lacks any in-gel inhibitory activity on gelatinases in the same range of concentration, but tannic acid (gallotannin) shows an even stronger inhibition than EGCG; nevertheless, although the gallotannin-gelatinase interaction leads to enzyme precipitation, in presence of the flavanol the gelatinase remains in solution.…”

“…From this, it was a short step to suspect that EGCG may be a direct inhibitor of MMP-2 and MMP-9 gelatinases; soon after, this was confirmed in preliminary studies. 11,12 However, the molecular mechanisms responsible for this activity remain to be elucidated.…”

“…28 Inhibition of MMPs has also been reported in several studies of phenolics compounds from green tea. [29][30][31] The reduction in total cell number in the Matrigel invasion assay was not due to cytotoxicity, as demonstrated in cell viability study (data not shown).…”

“…The first pathway involves direct inhibition of MMP-2 and MMP-9 enzymatic activity (19). Tea polyphenols can form complexes with metal ions (56). As a result, TFDG and EGCG may inhibit MMPs activity by forming complexes with zinc ions; these complexes will inhibit MMPs as MMPs are zincdependent proteinases.…”
