It has previously been reported that the trypsinogen gene is expressed in various human cancers. To investigate the possible role of trypsin in tumor malignancy, trypsinogen-1 cDNA was introduced into the human gastric carcinoma cell line MKN-1. The overexpression of trypsinogen-1 in MKN-1 cells stimulated cellular growth and adhesion to fibronectin and vitronectin when the trypsinogen activator enterokinase was added into the culture. Enterokinase treatment of the conditioned medium of the MKN-1 transfectants partially converted the proforms of gelatinases B and A to their apparent active forms. When the MKN-1 transfectants expressing trypsinogen-1 were intraperitoneally transplanted into nude mice, the mice frequently produced tumors in the colon, spleen and liver. However, the mice implanted with control MKN-1 cells produced no tumors. These results strongly suggest that tumor-derived trypsin contributes to the disseminated growth of some types of cancer cells including gastric cancer.
