MMP-13 In-Vivo Molecular Imaging Reveals Early Expression in Lung Adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Several matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are overexpressed in lung cancer and may serve as potential targets for the development of bioactivable probes for molecular imaging.To characterize and monitor the activity of MMPs during the progression of lung adenocarcinoma.K-rasLSL-G12D mice were imaged serially during the development of adenocarcinomas using fluorescence molecular tomography (FMT) and a probe specific for MMP-2, -3, -9 and -13. Lung tumors were identified using FMT and MRI co-registration, and the probe concentration in each tumor was assessed at each time-point. The expression of Mmp2, -3, -9, -13 was quantified by qRT-PCR using RNA isolated from microdissected tumor cells. Immunohistochemical staining of overexpressed MMPs in animals was assessed on human lung tumors.In mice, 7 adenomas and 5 adenocarcinomas showed an increase in fluorescent signal on successive FMT scans, starting between weeks 4 and 8. qRT-PCR assays revealed significant overexpression of only Mmp-13 in mice lung tumors. In human tumors, a high MMP-13 immunostaining index was found in tumor cells from invasive lesions (24/27), but in none of the non-invasive (0/4) (p=0.001).MMP-13 is detected in early pulmonary invasive adenocarcinomas and may be a potential target for molecular imaging of lung cancer.

Project description:Notch signaling is involved in the early onset of osteoarthritis. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of Notch signaling changes during proliferation and differentiation of chondrocyte, and to testify the mechanism of MMP-13 regulation by Notch and Runx2 expression changes during osteoarthritis. In this study, Chondrocytes were isolated from rat knee cartilages. Notch signaling was activated/inhibited by Jagged-1/DAPT. Proliferative capacity of Chondrocytes was analyzed by CCK-8 staining and EdU labeling. ColX, Runx2 and MMP-13 expressions were analyzed as cell differentiation makers. Then, Runx2 gene expression was interfered using lentivirus transfection (RNAi) and was over-expressed by plasmids transfected siRNA in chondrocytes, and MMP-13 expression was analyzed after Jagged-1/DAPT treatment. In vivo, an intra-articular injection of shRunx2 lentivirus followed with Jagged1/DAPT treatments was performed in rats. MMP-13 expression in articular cartilage was detected by immunohistochemistry. Finally, MMP-13 expression changes were analyzed in chondrocytes under IL-1β stimulation. Our findings showed that, CCK-8 staining and EdU labeling revealed suppression of cell proliferation by Notch signaling activation after Jagged-1 treatment in chondrocytes. Promoted differentiation was also observed, characterized by increased expressions of Col X, MMP-13 and Runx2. Meanwhile, Sox9, aggrecan and Col II expressions were down-regulated. The opposite results were observed in Notch signaling inhibited cells by DAPT treatment. In addition, Runx2 RNAi significantly attenuated the 'regulatory sensitivity' of Notch signaling on MMP-13 expression both in vitro and in vivo. However, we found there wasn't significant changes of this 'regulatory sensitivity' of Notch signaling after Runx2 over-expression. Under IL-1β circumstance, MMP-13 expression could be reduced by both DAPT treatment and Runx2 RNAi, while Runx2 interference also attenuated the 'regulatory sensitivity' of Notch in MMP-13 under IL-1β stimulation. In conclusion, Notch signaling is an important regulator on rat chondrocyte proliferation and differentiation, and this regulatory effect was partially mediated by proper Runx2 expression under both normal and IL-1β circumstances. In the meanwhile, DAPT treatment could effectively suppress expression of MMP-13 stimulated by IL-1 β.
