Definitions
- the present invention relates to the inhibition of cancer metastasis, including mammaglobin, specifically, as a target molecule for inhibiting cancer metastasis, a mamma globin protein, a gene encoding a mamma globin protein, or a recombinant expression vector containing the gene as an active ingredient.

- Cancer is a disease in which cells multiply indefinitely and interfere with normal cell function. Abnormal cells, whose proliferation and suppression are not controlled, proliferate uncontrolled and excessively proliferate and invade surrounding tissues or organs, leading to destruction of normal tissues.
- the site of cancer is not limited, and the cause of cancer is still not known exactly.
- mutations occur in genes of normal cells. Aberrant gene expression is closely related to unregulated cell growth and dedifferentiation, a common feature of all cancers. Numerous cancer studies have shown that the genomes of individuals with certain cancers are generally called tumor suppressor genes and normally reduce the expression of recessive genes that function to inhibit indiscriminate cell division and overgrowth. Oncogenes with the ability to modify are overexpressed. Therefore, searching for genes specifically overexpressed or suppressed in cancer cells compared to normal cells based on the relationship between gene expression and the onset or progression of cancer can develop a target for diagnosis or treatment of cancer.
- cancer metastasis is considered to be the biggest obstacle in treating cancer.
- cancer metastasis is an inefficient process in which only a small portion of the cancer cells that make up the primary tumor have successfully completed the various stages of metastasis and become metastatic cancer. Therefore, if we understand the metastasis process and develop a method that can effectively inhibit this by discovering clinical and biologically useful therapeutic targets, we can effectively control death from cancer metastasis.
- Breast cancer is one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers in women in developed countries. The cause of breast cancer is not yet known.

- the supernatant protein thus obtained was separated using 12% SDS-polyacrylamide gel and then transferred to a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane through a semi-dry transfer (Bio-Rad, CA, SUA).
- PVDF polyvinylidene fluoride
- the membrane was blocked with 5% skim milk powder and then incubated with hMAM monoclonal antibody (1: 1000 dilution) and ⁇ -tubulin monoclonal antibody (1: 10000 dilution). It was then incubated with peroxidase-linked anti-rabbit or anti-mouse secondary antibody (1: 10000 dilution). Immune-positive bands were observed using an ECL kit (ECL Plus kit, ELPIS, Daejeon, Korea).
- Anti-hMAM antibodies obtained from the mouse IgG used above and mamma globin from human, monkey, mouse and rabbit were purchased from ZETA company.
- ZR75-1 cells were cultured in a round cover slide coated with poly-L-lysine and fixed for 30 minutes with 0.1 M phosphate buffer saline (PBS) containing 4% paraformaldehyde. The samples were then washed and incubated for 2 hours with gentle shaking in a blocking solution containing 1% normal goat serum and 0.1% Triton X-100. Cells were incubated overnight at 4 ° C. in PBS diluted 1: 400 of polyclonal antibodies purified by a binding affinity to hMAM protein. After washing three times with PBS, cells were incubated with FITC-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG secondary antibody (1: 400) diluted 1: 400 in PBS for 1 hour and 30 minutes in the dark. The cells were treated with 4 ', 6'-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) to stain nuclei. Stained cells were observed mounted in the wet state using a confocal laser scanning microscope.
- PBS phosphate
- Cells migrated to the bottom surface were stained with cell-staining solution (1% methylene blue) for 10 minutes. Five microscopic photographs were obtained using the microscope and the average number of cells moved was counted. The stained inserts were washed, dissolved in extract solution (Triton X-100) and incubated for 10 minutes. Each sample was transferred to a 96 well microtiter plate and absorbance was measured using a plate reader (Infinite F200, Tecan, Switzerland) at 560 nm absorbance.
- cell-staining solution 1% methylene blue
- the invasive assay used an invasive chamber consisting of cell culture inserts placed in tissue culture wells. This insert has an 8 ⁇ m pore size polycarbonateite membrane coated with an ECMatrix TM layer. Cells suspended in a serum-free medium at a density of 2.3 ⁇ 10 5 cells / ml were inoculated into the culture insert. The cells were allowed to invade the basement membrane layer for 36 hours. Cells invaded through the membrane were stained with cell-staining solution (1% methylene blue), and non-invasive cells were removed by wiping off the top surface of the membrane and observed under a microscope.
- QCM TM 24-well cell invasion assay used an invasive chamber consisting of cell culture inserts placed in tissue culture wells. This insert has an 8 ⁇ m pore size polycarbonateite membrane coated with an ECMatrix TM layer. Cells suspended in a serum-free medium at a density of 2.3 ⁇ 10 5 cells / ml were inoculated into the culture insert. The cells were allowed to invade
- hMAM ON-TARGET Non-targeting Pool
- the target sequences of hMAM are GACAGCAGUCUUUGUGAUU (SEQ ID NO: 15), CUACAAAUGCCAUAGAUGA (SEQ ID NO: 16), GACAAUCAAUCCACAAGUG (SEQ ID NO: 17), and GAAACUCUGAGCAAUGUUG (SEQ ID NO: 18).
- hMAM mRNA was reduced by about 80% after 2 days of transfection.
- Relative levels of mRNA and protein were measured by calibrating GAPDH and ⁇ -tubulin, respectively. Images of agarose gels and Western blots were captured with a luminescence image analyzer LAS-4000 (Fujifilm corp, Tokyo, Japan). Bands obtained from RT-PCR were quantified using Sigma Gel image analysis software (version 1.0, Jandel Scientific, San Rafael, Calif., USA).
- MRNA levels of mamma globin in normal breast epithelial MCF-7 cells and human breast cancer cells were compared.
- expression levels of mamma globin were compared by semi-quantitative RT-PCR in breast cancer cell lines ZR75-1, MCF-7, MDA-MB231 and Hs-578T.
- HMAM protein was found only in the ZR75-1 cell line, and not measured at all in MCF-7 and MDA-MB231 (FIG. 3, right blot).
- MDA-MB-231 cells were inserted into the empty vector (pcDNA3.1, pcDNA), hMAM / pcDNA vector with hMAM inserted into pcDNA3.1, scrambled siRNA (scrambled siRNA). And MAM siRNA. Two days after the transformation, the expression level of mRNA was analyzed by semi-quantitative PCR.
- MAM siRNA The expression level of MAM mRNA was increased in MAM overexpressed cells and decreased in cells transformed with MAM siRNA (FIG. 5).
- knock-down of hMAM in cells did not result in a significant change in silver cell viability (FIG. 6).
- hMAM expression was confirmed by 3-D migration and invasive analysis.
- Scrambled siRNA and MAM siRNA were transiently transformed into MDA-MB-231 cells.
- cell migration was reduced by MAM overexpression in MDA-MB-231 cells, whereas cell migration was increased in MAM siRNA-transfected cells.
- MAM overexpression reduced the migration of MDA-MB-231 cells by 41.6 ⁇ 14.5%
- MDA-MB-231 and Hs-578T cells are invasive cancer cells and have been characterized by the conversion of epithelial cells into mesenchymal cells (EMT). EMT is involved in aggressive, invasive and potentially metastatic in epithelial cancer cells. To determine whether hMAM overexpression reduces migration and invasion through inhibition of EMT, semi-quantitative PCR was performed on MAM overexpressed MDA-MB-231 cells and analyzed for changes in expression of EMT markers.
- the RT-PCR experiment confirmed that the decrease of non-mentin (EMT marker) and the increase of E-cadherin (characteristic of epithelial marker) (FIGS. 11 and 12). Specifically, in the case of overexpressing MAM, E-cadherin expression was increased by about 2.1-fold compared to the control group (pcDNA empty vector transformed cells), but it was confirmed that non-mentin expression was reduced by about 60 ⁇ 7%. Keratin was very high due to overexpression of MAM in Hs-578 cells. In MDA-MB-231 cells, keratin mRNA was not seen and the expression of E-cadherin was lower than that of non-mentin.
