Abstract EN
The effects of epigallocatechingallate (EGCG) on the migration and expression of MMP-2 of uveal melanoma cells have not been reported.
We studied this effect and relevant signaling pathways in a human uveal melanoma cell line (M17).
MTT study found that EGCG did not affect the cell viability of M17 cells up to 100 µM.
Wound-healing assay showed that EGCG significantly reduced the migration of melanoma cells in a dose-dependent manner from 20 to 100 µM.
Gelatin zymography showed that secreted MMP-2 activity was dose-dependently inhibited by EGCG, whereas the MMP-2 expression at protein and mRNA levels was not affected as determined by western blot and RT-PCR analysis.
EGCG significantly increased the expressions of MMP-2 endogenous inhibitors (TIMP-2 and RECK) in M17 cells.
Western blot analysis of MAPK signal pathways showed that EGCG significantly decreased phosphorylated ERK1/2 levels, but not p38 and JNK levels, in melanoma cells.
ERK1/2 inhibitors also reduced the migration and activity of MMP-2 in M17 cells.
The present study suggested EGCG at nontoxic levels could inhibit migration of melanoma cells via downregulation of activities of secreted MMP-2 through the inhibition of the ERK1/2 phosphorylation.
Therefore, EGCG may be a promising agent to be explored for the prevention of metastasis of uveal melanoma.
