Previous work in our laboratory led to the cloning, from the same parent tumor cell line (MDA-MB-435), of two human breast cancer cell lines (M-4A4 and NM-2C5) with opposite metastatic phenotypes. Additional investigations revealed that the nonmetastatic cell line NM-2C5 overexpressed the neutrophil collagenase, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-8, relative to its partner. Because other studies have implicated the MMP family in promoting tumor metastasis, we investigated the apparently paradoxical expression of MMP-8 in these cell lines. By genetic engineering, we inverted its relative levels of expression in the two partners and studied the effects on the behavior of the tumors that they generated in athymic mice. Knock-down of expression in NM-2C5 cells by transduction with a sequence encoding a specific ribozyme and overexpression of MMP-8 in M-4A4 cells by retroviral transduction both strikingly changed metastatic performance in opposite directions, indicating that this gene plays a role in the regulation of tumor metastasis.
