Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers diagnosed in women. The majority
of mortalities attributed to cancer are due to a critical process in which the cancer cells
invade and migrate away from the primary site (i.e. the Breast) to another site such as
the brain and bones of which is termed metastasis. One of the mechanisms or tools
that tumour cells utilize for the invasion of cancer cells is through the degradation of
the extracellular matrix (ECM) by specific actin-foot protrusions characterized as
invadopodia. In solid tumours, the invasiveness of cancer cells markedly increases due
to hypoxia (low oxygen) that exists in 80% of cancer patients. Previous reports have
investigated several mechanisms of invadopodia formation, such as invadopodia
components, signalling pathways, and microenvironments. However, limited
information is available regarding the utilization of carbon and nitrogen sources in
hypoxia-induced MDA-MB-231 cells that may be required for invadopodia formation.
Therefore, to achieve the primary objective of this study, a number of methods were
employed. First, an invadopodia assay was used to determine the effect of the passage
number on invadopodia formation. This was also used to determine the effect of the
hypoxia condition on the invadopodia formation treated with 0.5 mM DMOG and
incubated in a hypoxia chamber. The second method was the western blot technique.
This method was used to investigate the expression of the fundamental proteins of
hypoxia, including the hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) and the vascular
endothelial growth factor (VEGF).
In addition, to detect the expression of the essential proteins involved in invadopodia
formation, including matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), the Rho guanine
nucleotide exchange factor 7 (-PIX) under hypoxia was also used. The third method,
Phenotype microarray for Mammalian cells (PMM), was used to ascertain the essential
chemical substrates as a nutrient for MDA-MB-231 cells in forming invadopodia under hypoxia. This powerful tool provides a platform to extensively analyse living
cellular phenotypes in response to microenvironment changes or chemical treatments
through 96 well plates preloaded with carbon-energy and nitrogen substrates. PMM
technology is a new colorimetric assay which is used to measure the redox energy
generated when cells oxidise chemical substrates.
The results of this study showed that invadopodia formation was significantly affected
by the cell line passage number making the cells unable to accomplish gelatin
degradation in passage numbers 15 to 35. Therefore, for the following experiments, a
low passage number was considered in order to achieve accurate results. The results
also revealed that the hypoxia condition using 1% O2 in the hypoxia chamber and 0.5
mM DMOG treatment led to an increase in the number of cells forming invadopodia
and induced gelatin degradation. At the molecular level, the western blot analysis
proved that HIF-1α in normoxia was degraded while under hypoxia, it dramatically
increased.
Furthermore, VEGF, MMP-2 and -PIX levels significantly increased in hypoxia
compared to normoxia. Here, the proteins played an essential function in invadopodia
formation. Finally, the PMM results elucidated that 11 chemical substrates were
strongly nourished by MDA-MB-231 cells as a single source for survival under
hypoxia condition, such as Dextrin. These substrates could potentially be required for
invadopodia formation under a hypoxic condition.
Accordingly, these substrates could prove to be potential energy sources for cancer
invasion. The findings of this study also propose utilizing certain types of carbon
sources such as dextrin as drug carriers in order to enhance the effectiveness of
chemotherapy against the hypoxia region and invadopodia formation. As with many
research studies, there are certain limitations. However, the author of this study believe
that the findings will offer a useful starting point in the cancer invasion field of study,
particularly invadopodia formation. Future work could be undertaken to confirm the
findings of this study by using a phenotype microarray on other types of highly
invasive cells and to confirm the effect of each significant chemical substrate on
invadopodia formation. |
