Abstract/OtherAbstract:
To demonstrate the effect of zoledronic acid in proliferation, invasion, and migration of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell HNE-1 and explore the potential role of VEGF, MMP-2, and MMP-9 proteins in vitro. Human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell HNE-1 was exposed to various concentrations (0-40 μmol/l) of zoledronic acid. Zoledronic acid inhibited proliferation of HNE-1 cells though not in a dose-dependent manner. Zoledronic acid had exerted a dose-dependent effect on the migration and invasion of HNE-1 cells. Both expressions of mRNA and protein of MMP2, MMP9, and VEGF were reduced, respectively, detected by RT-PCR and Western blot assays. These data suggested that zoledronic acid not only inhibited growth but also invasion and migration of HNE-1 cells in vitro. The anti-cancer action of zoledronic acid was partially associated with the suppression of VEGF expression and secretion and downregulating the expression of MMP2 and MMP9.
