Title Vascular endothelial cell monolayer formed on membrane filter potentiates the defense against tumor cell invasion by treatment with brefeldin A.
Journal Cancer Lett
Abstract We constructed vascular endothelial cell monolayer on a fibronectin-coated filter in a Boyden chamber and assessed the ability of 3 LL cells to penetrate through the artificial blood vessel wall. The defense of endothelial cell monolayers against the tumor cell invasion was greatly potentiated by their pretreatment with 5 or 10 micrograms/ml of brefeldin A (BFA) for 1 h (52% or 28% of control invasion). Treatment of the endothelial cell monolayers with BFA resulted in an increase in the release of inhibitory material(s) against urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA) activity of 3 LL cells. Parallel experiments with the cultured endothelial cells and BFA indicated that the fungal metabolite enhanced a rate of accumulation of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) antigen, but not of tissue-type plasminogen activator antigen in the medium. The BFA-induced enhancement of PAI-1 antigen release was accompanied with the increased accumulation of the extracellular (membrane/matrix-bound) and intracellular PAI-1 antigen (219% of control at 24 h). These results suggest that BFA can strengthen the defense of vascular endothelium against tumor-cell invasion by enhancing the release and accumulation of PAI-1, which plays a critical role in the regulation of the u-PA-plasmin-collagenase activation cascade.
