Abstract

E‐cadherin is important in cell‐to‐cell adhesion and controls cell polarity and tissue morphology. Loss of E‐cadherin expression occurs in various human tumors and is the first step in cancer invasion and metastasis. We demonstrate that the exogenous expression of E‐cadherin transfected into G‐415 GB cells not only increases cell‐to‐cell adhesion but also reduces in vitro cell proliferation, motility and invasion. Our aim was to determine what genes are most affected by the exogenous expression of E‐cadherin in GB cancer cells. We analyzed gene expression pertaining to cell proliferation, motility and invasion. Conventional RT‐PCR was performed for these genes; quantitative RT‐PCR was carried out on genes exhibiting altered expression. Conventional RT‐PCR revealed that E‐cadherin transfection suppressed expression of mts1 mRNA and increased that of c‐myc and MT1‐MMP. In quantitative RT‐PCR analysis, levels of c‐myc and MT1‐MMP mRNA were elevated by to 2.56‐ and 2.22‐fold, respectively, in the E‐cadherin transfectant, whereas mts‐1 was 7.14‐fold suppressed compared to parental cells. These results indicated that expression of mts1 mRNA was most affected by E‐cadherin transfection. Immunocytochemical analysis of transfectant and parental cells demonstrated an inverse correlation in E‐cadherin and mts1 expression. Immunohistochemical analysis of 37 GB cancer specimens confirmed this observation in vivo. Loss of E‐cadherin expression followed by expression of the mts1 gene may be an important event for increasing cell proliferation, motility and invasion activity in the progression of GB cancer. © 2002 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

## ABSTRACT Elements controlling high expression of the 17‐1A antigen gene in pancreatic carcinoma cells (Capan 2) reside within the two regions: proximal (−193 to +3) and distal (−877 to −518). We demonstrate here that some factors present in nuclear extracts from nonexpressing cells bind specific
