The current study investigated the ability of two secoiridoids, GL-3 (<b>1</b>) and oleonuezhenide (<b>2</b>), isolated from the fruits of <i>Ligustrum japonicum</i> to inhibit MMP-2 and -9 activity in phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)-induced HT-1080 human fibrosarcoma cells.
We demonstrated that anterior lens capsule type IV collagen or specifically the synthetic peptide alpha3(IV) 185-203 inhibited both the migration of melanoma or fibrosarcoma cells as well as the activation of membrane-bound MMP-2 by decreasing the expressions of MT1-MMP and the beta3 integrin subunit.
In contrast, a mutein of TNF-alpha, designated as F4236, having the cell-adhesive sequence (Tyr-Ile-Gly-Ser-Arg) at the N-terminus of the TNF molecule did not enhance metastasis, but rather exhibited similar antitumor activity to wild-type TNF-alpha in fibrosarcoma-bearing mice.
Here, we report that Gd@C<sub>82</sub>(OH)<sub>22</sub> promote the binding activity of tumor necrosis factor (TNFα) to tumor necrosis factor receptors 2 (TNFR2), activate TNFR2/p38 MAPK signaling pathway to increase cellular collagen expression in fibrosarcoma cells and human primary lung cancer associated fibroblasts isolated from patients.
In this report, we provide evidence that Rac1, one member of Rho-related small GTPases, is a mediator of MMP-2 activation in HT1080 fibrosarcoma cells cultured in three-dimensional collagen gel (3D-col) and that MMP-2 activation is required for Rac1-promoted cell invasion through collagen barrier.
We demonstrated that anterior lens capsule type IV collagen or specifically the synthetic peptide alpha3(IV) 185-203 inhibited both the migration of melanoma or fibrosarcoma cells as well as the activation of membrane-bound MMP-2 by decreasing the expressions of MT1-MMP and the beta3 integrin subunit.
The purpose of this study was to characterize the relative cytotoxic activity of TNF-alpha and TNF mutants on the mouse fibrosarcoma L929 cells in a standard cytotoxicity test, on human larynx carcinoma HEp-2 cells, and on human monoblastoid leukemic cells U937.
We examined the effects of the purified ginseng components, panaxadiol (PD) and panaxatriol (PT), on the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in highly metastatic HT1080 human fibrosarcoma cell line.
The efficacy of spermine was investigated on induction of autophagy through histone deacetylation and p53 activation in human fibrosarcoma cell line, HT1080.
To learn more about its effect on cellular proliferation and chemoresistance independent of p53 up-regulation, human HT-1080 fibrosarcoma cells null for p14(ARF) and harboring a defective p53 pathway were stably transfected with p14(ARF) cDNA under the tight control of a doxycycline-inducible promoter.
Using the invasive human fibrosarcoma cell line HT-1080, we demonstrate that a plasma membrane SNARE, SNAP23, and an endosomal v-SNARE, VAMP3 (also known as cellubrevin), partly colocalize with MMP2 and MMP9, and that inhibition of these SNAREs using dominant-negative SNARE mutants impaired secretion of the MMPs.
Plasminogen activator inhibitor type 2 (PAI-2) mRNA and antigen levels are synergistically induced in HT-1080 fibrosarcoma cells when treated with a combination of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA).

The p53 protein is highly expressed in fibrosarcoma derived from Rat-1 cells transfected with cigarette smoke condensate-treated human fetal lung DNA but expressed low in the counterparts of nitroso-N-methylurea and dimethyl sulfoxide groups.
She presented with a clinical diagnosis of Li-Fraumeni-like syndrome (LFL), showing papillary thyroid carcinoma and fibrosarcoma of the left flank, and had no TP53 germline mutations.
