[Endocrinological contribution for invasion and metastasis in gynecological cancers].

The development and growth of gynecological cancers are related to steroid hormone actions. Alternatively, this prompts us to study biological contribution of sex steroids for invasion and metastasis in gynecological cancers. The first step of metastasis is the detachment of tumor cells. The adherens junction forms a main cell-to-cell junctional complex, mainly consisting of E-cadherin, alpha- and beta-catenins, etc. Estrogen suppressed the expression of their mRNAs, and the adhesive function of cells via adherens junction in endometrial cancer cells. Progestin and danazol reversed the estrogen-induced suppression. Estrogen enhanced invasiveness of endometrial cancer cells though the reconstituted basement membrane and interstitium using the Boyden chamber. Progestin reduced the estrogen-induced invasiveness. The final step of metastasis is tumor-derived neovascularization for growth of metastatic cancer cells. Progestin inhibited basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF) activity, which mainly contribute to tumor-derived neovascularization, regardless of growth-inhibition in some endometrial cancers. Progestin inhibits basic FGF in well-differentiated (WD) endometrial cancer cells, but not in poorly differentiated (PD) endometrial cancer cells. TNP470, a inhibitor of vessel endothelial proliferation, inhibited directly basic FGF in the PD. Therefore, the adequate combination therapy of progestin and TNP470 could efficiently inhibit angiogenic potential of heterologous endometrial cancers. The ratio of estrogen receptor exon 5 splicing variant (ER delta E5) to wild type-ER mRNA expression increased in some metastatic lesions of cancers. The dominant expression of ER delta E5 mRNA might be related to metastatic potential of gynecological cancers. Progesterone receptor from A (PR-A), initiated from in-frame AUG present in the PR from B (PR-B) mRNA, lacks the N-terminal 164 amino acids of PR-B, and acts as a progestin-dependent, trans-dominant repressor of PR-B function and other steroid receptor function. The expression of PR-B mRNA was dominantly expressed in all metastatic gynecological cancers given. This might be related to metastatic potential of gynecological cancers. To know tumorigenic potential of sex steroid receptors, ER, PR-A and PR-B genes were transfected to NIH3T3 cells. Transfected cells with PR-A gene alone formed a few colonies in double soft agar. On the other hand, the cells with PR-B and ER genes under the presence of estradiol formed plenty of colonies. Therefore, overexpression of PR-B under the absence of PR-A might be related to tumorigenic potential. In conclusion, estrogen could enhance some steps of metastasis in endometrial cancers, and progestin could inhibit the estrogen-induced events, regardless of growth-inhibition. Relative over-expression of ER exon 5 splicing variant, and PR-B might contribute to metastatic potential in gynecological cancers.
