Abstract : Cancer cell invasion and metastasis are very complex process that requires the interaction between cancer cell and stromal cell. Our previous study showed that in 3-dimensional (3-D) coculture invasion model using type I collagen matrigel, pro-MMP-9 (92-kDa) derived from an oral squamous cell carcinoma cell line, HSC-3, was converted into fully active-MMP-9 (67-kDa) by MRC-5 fibroblast-derived factors and the cancer cell invaded into the type I collagen gel. To investigate the proteinases responsible for cancer invasion via interaction with fibroblast, kinetics of the appearance of proteinases and cancer cell invasion were simultaneously examined in this study. Cancer cell started invasive growth at the sixth day of culture, and activation of cancer cell-derived MMP-9 was associated with this step by promoting MMP-1 and MMP-3 production. Interestingly, MMP-3 and MMP-1 mRNA from MRC-5 fibroblasts were up-regulated by soluble factors derived from HSC-3. The HSC-3 cell migration into the type I collagen gel was also enhanced by the culture supernatant from the MRC-5 fibroblast. These results suggested that stromal fibroblast was indispensable to cancer cell invasion.
