Insidious role of nitric oxide in migration/invasion of colon cancer cells by upregulating MMP-2/9 via activation of cGMP-PKG-ERK signaling pathways

Abstract: Nitric oxide (NO), an uncharged free radical is implicated in various physiological and pathological processes. The present study is an investigation on the effect of NO on proliferation, apoptosis and migration of colon cancer cells. Colon adenocarcinoma cells, WiDr, were used for the in vitro experiments. Tissues from colon adenocarcinoma, adjacent normal and inflammatory tissue and lymph node with metastasis were evaluated for iNOS, MMP-2/9 and Fra-1/Fra-2. NO increases the proliferation of cancer cells and… Show more

“…Inhibiting cancer cell metastasis is one of the important steps for cancer therapy and research (5). Numerous evidence have shown that multiple factors involved in tumor metastasis, such as the activation of PI3K/Akt pathway (6), matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs)-enzymes that can degrade the extracellular matrix and basement membrane collagen for cells to invade (7,8)-and urokinase plasminogen activator (UPA), also play an important role for degrading extracellular matrix (9).…”

“…MMP-2 and -9 have gelatinase activity and can degrade matrix collagen and basement membrane (7,8). It has been reported that estrogen can increase expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and activate the extracellular signal-regulated kinase1/2 (ERK1/2) pathway to induce MMP-2/-9 expression (12).…”

“…It can rapidly be activated by shear stress and cyclic stretching (Li et al, 1997;Yuan et al, 2012a). Activated ERK1/2 regulates the activity of MMPs, leading to the degradation of ECM and enhanced cell motility (Babykutty et al, 2012;Tan et al, 2008).…”

“…In scratch wound and modified Boyden chamber assays with colorectal carcinoma cell lines, the PKG inhibitor KT5823 effectively halted cell migration induced by NO donor treatment. 27) In contrast to beneficial effects of PKG inhibitors in cancer treatment, one report suggested a pro-apoptotic role for PKG in estrogen receptor-positive (MCF-7) and estrogen receptor-negative (MDA-MB-468) breast cancer cell lines. 28) Therefore, to make use of PKG inhibitors in cancer treatment, a specific classification of the malignancy and precise details of its response to treatment are critical.…”
