pubmed:abstractText
Human colonic carcinoma cell lines, KM12C, KM12SM and KM12L4, were previously established and their in vivo metastatic potentials have been well evaluated. The highly metastatic cell lines KM12SM and KM12L4 were derived from the parental low metastatic cell line KM12C in vivo. To evaluate the metastatic behavior of these cell lines in vitro, we examined colony formation on monolayers of the pulmonary arterial endothelial (CPAE) cells. On day 4, the highly metastatic cell lines showed an approximately 2-fold increase in number of colonies on CPAE cell monolayers relative to the parental KM12C cell line. To investigate what evidence is correlated with their metastatic and invasive abilities, Northern blot analysis and flow cytometry were performed in all cell lines. According to the results of Northern blot analysis, the levels of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and c-met mRNA expression were increased in highly metastatic cell lines as compared with the parental cell line. We also examined the cell-surface expression of several adhesion molecules by flow cytometry. The levels of expression of sialyl Lewisa antigen (sLe(a)) in KM12SM and KM12L4 were twice higher than that in KM12C. However, the levels of expression of E-cadherin in KM12SM and KM12L4 were decreased to half that in KM12C. The alterative expression of the collagenase and adhesion molecules might contribute to their metastatic/invasive abilities of these cell lines both in vivo and in vitro.
