ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the underlying mechnisms of Kangai-1(KAI1)gene,a tumor metastasis suppressor gene,on metastasis and prolification of pancreatic cancer cells.Methods The plasmin containing Ad-KAI1 was established and transfected into pancreatic cancer cell line PCNA Ⅰ.The PCNA Ⅰ cells were then divided into different groups according to the times induced by vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)and epidermal growth factor(EGF).The morphology and migrational ability of PANC Ⅰ cells were compared before and after transfection by microscopy and transwell method,respectively.The expressions of intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1)and matrix metalloproteinases-9(MMP-9)in PANC Ⅰ cells were examined by immunocytochemistry before and after transfection.Results The migrational ability of PCNA Ⅰ cells transfected with Ad-KAI1 was siginificantly decreased compared with untransfected PCNA Ⅰ cells(P＜0.05).Immunocytochemistry study revealed that the expressions of ICAM-1 and MMP-9 were both positive in untransfected PCNA Ⅰcells,but were both negative in transfected PCNA Ⅰ cells.Conclusion The inhibitory mechanism of KAI1 gene on metastasis of pancreatic cancer is associated with down-regulation of ICAM-1 and MMP-9expressions.
