KAI1 is a metastasis suppressor gene which is capable of inhibiting the processes of tumor metastasis without affecting tumorigenicity per se. We found that etoposide, a topoisomerase II inhibitor, is able to activate the expression of the KAI1 gene in a dose-dependent manner in human prostate cancer cell lines, ALVA, DU145, and PC-3 as well as in human lung carcinoma cell A549. The activation of the KAI1 gene was mainly mediated by the c-Jun gene in the PC-3 and DU145 cell lines, while it was mediated by both p53 and c-Jun genes in the A549 cell line. These results suggest that the augmentation of the KAI1 gene expression is independently controlled by p53 and c-Jun at the transcriptional level in the human cancer cell lines. Furthermore, treatment of these cell lines with etoposide resulted in significant reduction of cellular invasion measured by the Matrigel invasion chamber. Because etoposide has been shown to be effective on advanced prostate cancer when used in combination with other regimens, our results provide further rationale to use this drug as an antimetastatic agent.
