Prostate cancer (PCA) is the second most frequently diagnosed and leading cause of cancer-related deaths in men in the USA. The recognition that matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) facilitate tumor cell invasion and metastasis of PCA has led to the development of MMP inhibitors as cancer therapeutic agents. As part of our efforts to develop newer and effective chemopreventive agents for PCA, we evaluated the effect of proanthocyanidins from grape seeds (GSP) on metastasis-specific MMP-2 and -9 in human prostate carcinoma DU145 cells by employing western blot and gelatinolytic zymography. Treatment of GSP dose-dependently inhibited cell proliferation (15–100% by 5–80 µg/ml of GSP), viability (30–80% by 20–80 µg/ml of GSP) and fibroblast conditioned medium (FCM)-induced expression of MMP-2 and -9 in DU145 cells. Since the signaling cascade of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) have been shown to regulate the expression of MMPs in tumor cells, we found that the treatment of DU145 cells with GSP (20–80 µg/ml) resulted in marked inhibition of FCM-induced phosphorylation of extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK)1/2 and p38 but had little effect on c-Jun N-terminal kinase under similar experimental conditions. GSP treatment (20–80 µg/ml) to DU145 cells also dose-dependently inhibited FCM-induced activation of NF
B concomitantly with inhibition of MMP-2 and -9 expression in the same system. Additionally, the treatment of inhibitors of MEK (PD98059) and p38 (SB203580) to DU145 cells resulted in the reduction of FCM-induced phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and p38 concomitantly marked reduction in MMP-2 and -9 expressions. In further studies, treatment of androgen-sensitive LNCaP cells with a synthetic androgen R1881, resulted in an increase of MMP-2 and -9, which were completely abrogated in the presence of GSP (20–60 µg/ml). These data suggest that inhibition of metastasis-specific MMPs in tumor cells by GSP is associated with the inhibition of activation of MAPK and NFB pathways, and thus provides the molecular basis for the development of GSP as a novel chemopreventive agent for both androgen-sensitive and -insensitive prostate cancer therapies.
