Induction and stimulation of 92-kDa gelatinase/type IV collagenase production in osteosarcoma and fibrosarcoma cell lines by tumor necrosis factor alpha

Biochem Biophys Res Commun. 1990 Sep 14;171(2):610-7. doi: 10.1016/0006-291x(90)91190-4.

Abstract

Production of a 92-kDa gelatinase/type IV collagenase and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP) was investigated with human sarcoma cell lines. Among the cytokines and growth factors examined, only human recombinant tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) induced and stimulated the proteinase with concomitant increase in TIMP expression, but matrix metalloproteinase 2 (72-kDa gelatinase/type IV collagenase) expression was unchanged. These data suggest that gene expression of the two metalloproteinases is regulated in a different fashion and TNF alpha may be important to allow cancer cells to be more invasive and metastatic.
