ABSTRAKT

The most important factors involved in tumor metastasis and angiogenesis are metalloproteinases (MMPs), vascular endothelial growth factor, and multifunctional transforming growth factor β1. These factors are responsible for extracellular matrix degradation, induction of vascular permeability, and enhancement of tumor cells' invasion and metastasis. Elevated expression and secretion of the above-mentioned factors are correlated with the higher aggressiveness of tumors and low patient survival for example, patients with ovarian cancer. Therefore, regulation of the expression, secretion, and activity of these factors is still considered a potent target for therapeutic intervention in cancer patients. Nitric oxide (NO) donors belong to the class of agents with multivalent targeted activities in cancer cells and are considered potential anticancer therapeutics. Our studies have shown that NO donors such as spermine/NO and diethylenetriamine/NO decrease the secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor-A from the OVCAR-3 ovarian cancer cell line, but not from the SK-OV-3 ovarian cancer cell line. The release of MMP-2 from both cell lines was reduced in a soluble guanylate cyclase-dependent manner by spermine/NO and diethylenetriamine/NO. Nevertheless, MMP-2 activity was only affected in SK-OV-3 cells. Both NO donors reduced the transmigration of the ovarian cancer cell lines. We did not observe any significant effect of spermine/NO and diethylenetriamine/NO on mRNA expression of the tested aggressiveness factors. In conclusion, our data indicated that NO donors reduced the metastatic potential of ovarian cancer cells, but its impact is rather low and requires high concentrations of donors. Moreover, both the tested cell lines differed in the susceptibility to NO donors.
