Title | Abstract |
| granulosa cell tumor | metastatic ovarian granulosa cell tumors (GCT) exhibit loss of betaglycan. Here we test the hypothesis that betaglycan blocks GCT metastasis by suppressing NFkappaB/TGFbeta2-induced matrix metalloprotinease-2 (MMP2). Human GCT and a human GCT cell model demonstrated prominent MMP2 expression, which was dependent on NFkappaB activity and stimulated by TGFbeta2 in an NFkappaB-dependent manner. Betaglycan suppressed both basal and TGFbeta2-induced MMP2 expression and countered metastatic behaviors of GCT cells in non-adherent spheroid culture and in vivo xenograft models of metastasis. These data suggest that NFkappaB/TGFbeta2 promotes, and betaglycan impedes, the early stages of GCT metastasis, when tumor cells first invade the peritoneum. |
