ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the possible role of ROCK-1 in ovarian cancer invasion and metastasis.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>ROCK-1 ASODN was transfected into SW626 and Caov-3 cell lines mediated by Lipofectamine 2000. The expressions of ROCK-1 mRNA and protein were detected by RT-PCR and Western-blot assay. Boyden chamber was used to assess the effect of ROCK-1 ASODN on the invasion and migration of the cell lines. The changes in the adhesion and proliferation of the transfected cells were detected by MTT assay.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The expressions level of ROCK-1 mRNA and protein in the cell lines were decreased significantly after transfection at doses of 10 micromol/L and 20 micromol/L ROCK-1 ASODN. When compared with the control group, the invasion capability of transfected cells was inhibited to an extent of 75.6% +/- 3.8% and 54.7% +/- 2.9%, respectively, for SW626 cell line, and 68.8% +/- 4.7% and 50.0% +/- 4.5% for Caov-3 cell line, respectively. The random migratory activity of these two cell lines was inhibited by 80.0% +/- 1.3%, 63.7% +/- 1.9%, 72.5% +/- 3.4% and 55.9% +/- 2.5%, respectively, and the inhibition of chemotaxis activity of the two cell lines was 83.9% +/- 1.4%, 64.1% +/- 1.3%, 72.5% +/- 3.4% and 54.5% +/- 1.9%, respectively. No significant difference was found in the adhesion and proliferation of the cells transfected with ROCK-1 ASODN and control cells.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The expression of ROCK-1 was closely related to the invasion capability and migratory activity of ovarian cancer cells. ROCK-1 may play a crucial role in invasion and metastasis of ovarian cancer.</p>
