Abstract
We studied invasion-related adhesion events in vitro using three squamous carcinoma cell lines (HSC-3, poorly differentiated type; OSC-19, well-differentiated type; and KB cells, undifferentiated type). An in vitro invasion assay through matrigel in the transwell chamber revealed that HSC-3 cells were most invasive, OSC-19 cells moderately invasive and KB cells least invasive. Inhibition assay of invasion using synthetic peptides RGD, RGDV, RGDS, RGDT, IKVAV and YIGSR, showed that invasion of the three cell lines was significantly inhibited by RGDV. There were other peptides that inhibited invasion significantly including IKVAV for HSC-3, and RGDS and YIGSR for OSC-19. HSC-3 cells and OSC-19 cells adhered to fibronectin, laminin, vitronectin, and type IV collagen, and KB cells did not adhere to laminin but did to fibronectin, vitronectin and collagen type IV. Pretreatment of cells with RGDV peptide in the attachment assay reduced the ability of these cells to bind to vitronectin and fibronectin more efficiently than pretreatment with RGDS. Anti-αv antibodies inhibited adhesion of HSC-3, OSC-19 and KB cells to vitronectin, but anti-β1 antibodies did not inhibit adhesion. Immunofluorescent microscopic examinations showed that all cell lines were positive for anti-β5 and anti-αv antibodies, and only HSC-3 cells were positive for anti-β3 antibody. α5β1 was not clearly demonstrated in any of the cell lines. RGDV was the most effective inhibitor of squamous cell carcinoma invasion among the synthetic oligopeptides used in this experiment, and it is suggested that it affects αvβ3-and/or αvβ5-mediated carcinoma cell invasion.
