Effect of a matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor (ONO-4817) on lung metastasis of murine renal cell carcinoma.

We examined the anti-metastatic effect of a newly developed inhibitor of synthetic matrix metalloproteinase (MMP), ONO-4817, on experimental pulmonary metastasis of murine renal cell carcinoma (Renca) cells and on tumor cell invasion, through reconstituted basement membrane (Matrigel) in vitro using the same cells. Oral administration of ONO-4817 (50-200 mg/kg/day) to Renca-bearing mice resulted in a dose-dependent inhibition of lung metastasis without a loss of body weight. ONO-4817 at the high dose of 200 mg/kg showed a tendency to prolong the survival of the mice. We also found that oral administration of ONO-4817 significantly inhibited the angiogenic response (number of vessels oriented towards the tumor mass) and the growth of tumors inoculated i.d. in syngeneic mice. In addition, ONO-4817, at non-cytotoxic concentrations of less than 10 microM, caused a marked inhibition of the invasion of Renca cells as compared to the vehicle control. Gelatin zymography revealed that ONO-4817 inhibited the enzymatic activity of MMP-2 produced by Renca cells in a concentration-dependent manner. In conclusion, ONO-4817 effectively inhibited lung metastasis of Renca cells through its anti-invasive and anti-angiogenic properties. These results suggest that use of the MMP inhibitor (MMPI) ONO-481 7 may provide a therapeutic basis for preventing lung recurrence and metastasis of renal cell carcinoma.
