RESUMEN
In this study, we investigated whether olive leaf and oleuropein have the potential to stop cell motility, which a metastatic cell behavior by blocking voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs). For this purpose, it was first prepared the aqueous extract of olive leaves (AOLE). Then it was assayed the effect on the motility of MAT-LyLu, a highly metastatic Dunning rat prostate adenocarcinoma cells of this extract. The phenolic content of AOLE was analyzed using LC-MS/MS instrument. It was observed that oleuropein was the most finding compound in AOLE. Therefore, whether oleuropein was responsible for the inhibitory effect of AOLE on the MAT-LyLu cell movement was tested. Nontoxic oleuropein concentrations and those that did not affect proliferation on MAT-LyLu cells were determined. Subsequently, it was examined the effects of oleuropein on the lateral and vertical movement of MAT-LyLu cells. To elucidate the mechanism of oleuropein affecting cell motility, whether it suppressed mRNA expression of SCN9A, which encodes the VGSC was analyzed. Accordingly, oleuropein suppressed the movement of MAT-LyLu cells by reducing SCN9A mRNA expression. In conclusion, we report the first time that oleuropein might be considered as a potential antimetastatic agent for prostate cancer due to its blocking effect on VGSC-mediated cell motility.

Runx2 promotes metastatic ability of cancer cells by directly activating some of the mediators regarding malignancy. Galectin-3 (Gal-3) extensively expressed in normal and transformed cells and it is responsible for many cellular processes. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether there is any relationship between runx2 transcription factor and regulation of galectin-3 expression in different human thyroid carcinoma cell lines. To show effects of runx2 transcription factor on gal-3 expression, we developed runx2 knockdown model in the thyroid carcinoma cell lines; anaplastic 8505C and 8305C and, papillary TPC-1 and follicular FTC-133 by using siRNA transfection. We analyzed the protein expressions and mRNA levels of gal-3 and MMP2/9 in the runx2-silenced cell lines using Western blotting, qPCR, and fluorescent microscopy. Our results showed that mRNA expression levels of gal-3 and MMP2/9 were downregulated in runx2-silenced cell lines. In this investigation, we revealed that regulation of gal-3 expression was strongly correlated with runx2 transcription factor in human thyroid carcinoma. Considering the contribution of human gal-3 in collaboration with MMP2/9 to the malignant characters of many cancers, regulation of their expressions through runx2 seems like one of the key regulatory mechanism for malignant potential of human thyroid carcinoma. Accordingly, runx2 transcription factor inhibitors can be a potential target in order to prevent gal-3 mediated malignancy of human thyroid carcinoma. J. Cell.
