Abstract

Background

PTHrP, a mediator of humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy, is considered as a potential activator to induce breast cancer cells metastasizing to bone. However, recent clinical evidences and basal research results prove that PTHrP expression in primary tumors indicates good prognosis. BMP-6, as a member of TGF-β superfamily, is closely correlated with tumor differentiation and skeletal metastasis.

Purpose

These experiments were designed to investigate the molecular mechanism of PTHrP regulating BMP-6 in breast cancer cells.

Methods and results

Through detecting mRNA expression levels of PTHrP and BMP-6 in 35 breast cancer specimens, the two genes’ expression were proved to be negatively correlated. Moreover, PTHrP (1–40), instead of PTHrP (107–139), inhibited BMP-6 mRNA expression in MCF-7 cells, indicating that PTHrP exerts its effect on BMP-6 through membranous PTHrP receptor. Inhibitors against signaling pathways downstream of PTHrP were utilized. H89, the PKA pathway inhibitor, eliminated the inhibitory effect of PTHrP on BMP-6. In addition, silencing of BMP-6 strengthened the antimitogenic effect of PTHrP.

Conclusions

These results suggest that PTHrP acts as the upstream molecule of BMP-6, and exerts antimitogenic effect via reducing BMP-6 mRNA expression through PKA signaling pathway in breast cancer cells.
