Objective To investigate the effect of guanine nucleotide exchange factor Crk SH3-domain-binding guanine nucleotide-releasing factor (C3G) on malignant proliferation and invasion of type Ⅰ ovarian cancer. Methods C3G expression in 6 samples of type Ⅰ and 43 samples of Ⅱ ovarian cancer tissues was detected by Western blotting. Exogenous C3G was transferred into type Ⅰ ovarian cancer cell line OVCAR3
and MTT assay
plate clone assay and flow cytometry were performed to analyze cell proliferation and apoptosis. Transwell chamber assay was adopted to evaluate cell invasion and migration. MMP-2 and MMP-9 expressions were examined by Western blotting. Results C3G expression in type Ⅰ ovarian cancer tissues (0.377 6±0.083 1) was similar to that in benign tumor tissues (0.351 1±0.071 3) and normal controls (0.336 2±0.073 9)
but was lower than that in type Ⅱ ovarian cancer tissues (0.873 5±0.174 6
P0.05). After C3G was over-expressed in the OVAR3 cells
cell proliferation was inhibited (P0.05)
and cell apoptosis was increased (P0.05). Meanwhile the migration and invasion capacity was enhanced (P0.05)
and the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 was up-regulated (P0.05). Conclusion C3G can inhibit proliferation and promote invasion in OVCAR3 cells
and its low expression in type Ⅰ ovarian cancer is associated with swelling growth and low metastatic potential.
