摘要: Although X chromosome transfer experiments indicated that tumor suppressor genes are present on the chromosome, they have not been previously identified. In this report, we show ETS transcription factor MEF (ELF4), which is located Xq26.1, possesses suppressive capability. expression was up-regulated by 5-azacytidine in some cancer cell lines. overexpression induced morphological changes, such as conversion of normally loose cell-cell contacts to strong interactions similar those seen presence matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitor BB94. colony formation assay, A549 cells, but MEF-overexpressing formed colonies soft agar culture. Furthermore, cells s.c. injected nude mice did grow, whereas control did. The tumors were poorly differentiated, well differentiated. By immunostaining with CD31, a marker vascular endothelial found angiogenesis significantly suppressed from cells. addition, conditioned media cultures stimulated migration human umbilical vein had less an effect. gelatin zymography, Western blotting analysis, and immunohistochemistry, levels MMP-9 MMP-2 reduced tumors. Immunohistochemical analyses showed interleukin (IL)-8 mice. IL-8 mRNA vitro down-regulated compared promoter activities encoding IL-8, ETS-2 these activities. Therefore, propose candidate gene opposite ETS-2.
