Objective To explore the effects of arsenic trioxide and paclitaxel on the expression level of metastasis-associated gene 1(MTA1) mRNA in Caco-2 cells.Methods Methylthiazolyldiphenyl-tetrazolium bromide(MTT) assay was performed to detect the inhibition rate of different concentrations of arsenic trioxide and paclitaxel on the growth of Caco-2 cells,reverse transcription real-time polymerase chain reaction was performed to detect the expression level of MTA1 mRNA.Results With the increasing of the concentrations of arsenic trioxide and paclitaxel,the inhibition rate increased,while the expression level of MTA1 mRNA decreased.The inhibition rate was negatively correlated with the expression levle of MTA1 mRNA(r=-0.636,P<0.05).Conclusion The effects of arsenic trioxide and paclitaxel on the growth of Caco-2 cells and the expression level of MTA1 mRNA could be with dosage-dependence,and the inhibition effects might be negatively correlated with the expression level of MTA1 mRNA.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of MTA1 knock down on migration and invasion of NPC cell 5-8F in vitro. Methods RNAi (Si-MTA1-01 and Si-MTA1-02) that can transiently silenced MTA1 was designed, synthesized and transfected into 5-8F cells by lipofectamine 2000. Control group (transfection with nonsense sequence) was also estab-lished. The efficiency of MTA1 depletion was determined by q-PCR and Western blot. Wound-healing assay ,Matrigel inva-sion assay and thesolid-phase adhesion assay were performed to investigate the effect of MTA1 knockdown on 5-8F cell me-tastasis. Results Transiently knock down of MTA1 decreased MTA1 transcription and expression in 5-8F cells compared to shRNA-con cells, showing by Real-time PCR and western blot. The invasion and migration of the cells transfected with siRNA-MTA1 were much weaker than the control group (P＜0.05). Conclusion silencing MTA 1 gene can effectively in-hibit the migration and invasion of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell, and might be a promising target for NPC treatment.
ABSTRACT
MTA1 is a composition of Nurd,which may deacetylate histone and non-histone to affect gene transcription and protein expression. Since it is often overexpressed in many tumors and closely related to invasion,metastasis and prognosis of the malignancy, MTA1 might be exploited as a tumor marker for clinical application. This article reviews the structure and function of MTA1 and some new research progress on the tumor metastasis related to MTA1.

ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: Cancer metastasis is a complex process involving a sequential series of multi-step genetic events, which produces an imbalance between stimulatory and inhibitory genes for metastasis. Presently, we examined the expression of metastatic tumor antigen 1 (MTA1) and nonmetastatic protein 23 homologue H1 (nm23-H1) proteins in metastasized epithelial ovarian cancer cells. METHODS: Fifty-one primary epithelial ovarian tumors and corresponding lymph nodes (LNs) were examined immunohistochemically for expression of MTA1 and nm23-H1. Expression of these proteins was statistically evaluated. RESULTS: The frequency of MTA1 expression was 30.3% (10/33) in stage III/IV LNs but was absent (0/18) in stage I/II LNs (p=0.01). MTA1 expression was observed in 50% (6/12) of metastasizing LNs but in only 10.3% (4/39) of non-metastasizing LNs (p=0.01). In contrast with MTA1, nm23-H1 expression was evident in 16 of 18 (88.9%) stage I/II ovarian cancer tissue samples but only in 20 of 33 (60.6%) stage III/IV tissues (p=0.05), and nm23-H1 production was also observed in 75.6% (34/45) of ovarian cancer tissue with residual tumors under 2 cm in diameter, but in 2/6 (33.3%) of cancer tissue with residual tumors exceeding 2 cm in diameter (p=0.03). CONCLUSION: The degree of expression and imbalance of MTA1 and nm23H1 are correlated with ovarian cancer LN metastasis.

ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: MTA1 has been identified as a metastasis-promiting gene, and its gene expression is correlated with invasion and metastasis in several cancers. We examined MTA1 expression levels in epithelial ovarian neoplasm. METHODS: Expression of MTA1 was evaluated by immunohistochemistry and tissue array in 53 benign tumors, 27 borderline tumors and 68 malignant tumors. The data was analyzed in reference to various clinicopathological parameters. RESULTS: Increased expression of MTA1 was significantly correlated with histologic grade and FIGO stage. There was no relationship between MTA1 expression and age, histologic type, tumor size. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that MTA1 is closely related to invasiveness and progression in epithelial ovarian neoplasm. The MTA1 could thus potentially provide information on the mechanism of cancer invasion and metastasis.

OBJECTIVE: cDNA microarray and tissue array was utilized for the profiling of differentially expressed genes in uterine cervical squamous cell carcinoma. Metastasis associated 1 gene (MTA1) was investigated using these methods, and we correlated gene and protein expression of MTA1 with the invasion and metastasis of cancer. METHODS: Gene expression profiles for paired cancerous and noncancerous uterine cervical tissue samples from an individual by means of a cDNA microarray representing 17,000 genes were analyzed. Of the differentially expressed genes, we assessed the MTA1 gene at the protein level using tissue array and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: The expressions of 15 and 21 genes were noted to have more than fivefold increase or decrease in the cervical squamous cell carcinoma tissue compared to the non-cancerous cervical tissue. The changed genes were those associated with DNA synthesis/repair, apoptosis, modulation of transcription, signal transduction, enzyme, cell cycle, cytoskeleton, metabolism, cell adhesion, extracellular matrix, immune response and others. Expression of MTA1 was evaluated by immunohistochemistry in 34 squamous cell carcinoma in situ, 32 microinvasive carcinoma and 56 invasive squamous cell carcinoma. Increased expression of MTA1 was significantly correlated with depth of invasion and lymph node metastasis. There was no statistically significant relationship between MTA1 expression and age, and FIGO stage. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that MTA1 may closely related to invasiveness and progression in cervical cancer. Thus, MTA1 could potentially provide information on the mechanism of cancer invasion and metastasis.

Objective To investigate the difference between two substrains,5-8F and 6-10B,of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line SUNE1on expressing metastasis-associated gene 1 (MTA1),and evaluate the silencing effect of lentivirus-mediated RNA interference (RNAi) on MTA1 in human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line.Methods The differential expression of MTA1 mRNA and MTA1 protein in 5-8F and 6-10B cell lines were detected by real time PCR and Western blotting respectively.Short interference RNA (siRNA) fragment targeting MTA1 gene was designed using online databases and software.A specific RNAi lentiviral vector targeting human MTA1 gene was constructed and transfected into nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line 5-8F.Real time PCR and Western blotting were performed to detect the expressive changes in MTA1 mRNA and MTA1 protein in the transfected 5-8F cells respectively.Results Compared with cell line 6-10B,the expressions of MTA1 mRNA and MTA1 protein were higher in 5-8F cell line.Sequence analysis validated the correct insert of siRNA targeting MTA1 gene into the lentiviral vector.Real time PCR and Western blotting results showed that the expressions of MTA1 mRNA and MTA1 protein in 5-8F cell lines were down-regulated significantly after siRNA transfection.Conclusions MTA1 may promote the malignant transformation and enhance the metastatic potential of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell lines.The expression of MTA1 in 5-8F cells can be inhibited effectively by MTA1-specific siRNA expression lentiviral vector,which provides a valuable tool for investigating the role of MTA1 gene in the carcinogenesis and progression of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the expression of MTA1 and ER in breast cancer,the correlation of the two factors and with the invasive capability of breast cancer.Methods The expression of MTA1 and ER in normal breast,precancerous lesions and breast cancer tissues was detected by using nucleic acid hybridization in situ(ISH) and immunocytochemistry(IHC) methods,and their correlation was analyzed by Spearman method.ResultsThe expression of MTA1 and ER was higher in ISH than in IHC.The mRNA expression of MTA1 in normal breast tissue,precancerous lesions and breast cancer tissne was 12.2%,33.3%,and 81.1% respectively,and the expression by IHC was 11.1%,31.1% and 72.2% respectively.The mRNA expression of ER in normal breast tissue,precancerous lesions and breast cancer tissue was 83.3%,61.1% and 37.8%,respectively,and the expression by IHC was70.9%,56.7% and 35.6% respectively.The positive expression of MTA1 was higher in ER-negative patients than that in ER-positive ones(86.2﹪vs.46.9﹪).ConclusionsCombined ISH and IHC detection can improve the detection rate of MTA1 and ER.With advancement of the disease and lowering of tumor differentiation,the expression of MTA1 gradually increases,while expression of ER decreases and even disappears.The expression of MTA1 is negative in relation to that of ER(the coefficient is-0.466).MTA1and ER could be important molecular markers for the prognosis and therapy of breast cancer.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effect of RNAi that silences MTA1 gene on invasion and migration of esophageal carcinoma 9706 cells. Methods The siRNA expression vector that silences MTA1 gene was transfected into EC9706 cells by liposome. MTA1 mRNA and protein expressions were detected through quantitative RT-PCR and Western blot, respectively. The invasion and migration of EC9706 cells were evaluated by scrape wound healing assay and cell invasion assay in vitro. Results MTA1 gene expression significantly decreased. The scrape wound of EC9706 cells healed more slowly and the cell population that cut through Matrigel were less in the EC9706 cells transfected with siRNA expression vector than non-transfected EC9706 cells and the EC9706 cells transfected with blank vector (P
