摘要
Cancer metastasis shows great diversity in target organs, routes and molecular mechanisms depending on the type of cancer and even on the individual patients. To identify key molecules involved in metastasis, we constructed a murine model system including multiple sublines with different organotropism and pathways of metastasis. We selected metastatic sublines from a murine mammary tumor cell line MCH66. Using this model, we extracted metastasis-related molecules by gene expression screening methods and verified their metastasis-promoting effects by gene knockdown or overexpression experiments. For the candidates promoting metastasis, we analyzed molecular functions involved in metastasis: cell growth, motility and invasive activity. We established a metastasis model including low metastatic sublines (66C8, 66LM, 66-4) and highly metastatic counterparts with various organotropism, such as to the lung (66Lu10), liver (HM-KAN5) and general organs (66HM and its clones: HM1-6 and HM1-7). The sublines basically exhibited the invasion-independent metastasis pathway characterized by endothelial cell-covered tumor emboli, whereas 66HM and HM-KAN5 showed an alternative metastasis pathway based on invasion in part and in whole, respectively. Comprehensive gene analysis extracted several molecular candidates responsible for metastasis. S100A14 was identified as one of the promissing candidates promoting lung-metastasis, which was verified by gene knockdown experiments in vivo. In addition, in vivo and in vitro functional analyses demonstrated that S100A14 enhanced scattering, motility and invasiveness of mouse tumor cells. Our model system may be adaptable to the diversity of metastasis in human cancers and useful for exploring the molecular mechanism responsible for metastasis.
