We examined the anti-invasive activity of ursolic acid (UA) on the highly metastatic HT1080 human fibrosarcoma cell line. UA reduced tumor cell invasion through a reconstituted basement membrane in a transwell chamber. A significant down-regulation of matrix metalloproteinase-9 [MMP-9; Mr 92,000 gelatinase/type IV collagenase (gelatinase B)] by UA was detected by Northern blot analysis. However, MMP-2 [Mr 72,000 gelatinase/type IV collagenase (gelatinase A)] and membrane-type MMP were constantly expressed, and the expression of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1 and TIMP-2 also was not changed after 3 and 6 days of treatment with UA. Quantitative gelatin-based zymography confirmed a markedly reduced expression of MMP-9 but not MMP-2 after treatment with UA. To confirm the UA-induced down-regulation of MMP-9 expression, we constructed a secreted alkaline phosphatase (SEAP) reporter vector including MMP-9 promoter. After transfection of MMP-9/SEAP reporter vector into HT1080 cells, reduced SEAP activity was detected after treatment with UA. These results suggest that down-regulation of MMP-9 contributes to the anti-invasive activity of UA in HT1080 cells.
