Expression of MMPs at the RNA and protein levels. (A) RT–PCR analysis of MMP transcripts in mRNA derived from TA3c cells. (Lane 1) Ladder of 100-bp DNA, ranging from 200–1500 bp; the top band corresponds to 2 kb; (lane 2) negative control PCR; (lane 3) MMP-2; (lane 4) MMP-3; (lane 5) MMP-7; (lane 6) MMP-9. (B) Zymograms of TA3c and TA3sCD44v6-10, TA3CD44tr, and TA3CD44H transfectant-derived supernatants, lysates, and crude membrane preparations. Gelatin (a,c,d) and β-casein (b) gels were used to test, respectively gelatinase A/MMP-2 (open arrow) and B/MMP-9 (solid arrow) and stromelysin (MMP-3, small arrows) activity in serum-free supernatants (a,b), water-soluble whole cell lysates (c) and 1% Triton-soluble crude membrane extracts of TA3 transfectants (d). Two independent isolates of each transfectant were tested. TA3 cells were transfected with the following: (Lanes 1,2) CD44tr; (lanes 3,4) CD44H; (lanes 5,6) sCD44v6-10; (lanes 7,8) sICAM-1; (lanes 9,10) sCD44v6-10R43A; (lanes 11,12), vector only. Molecular markers corresponding to 83 and 49 kD are indicated by arrowheads at left in a, c, and d; a molecular marker corresponding to 49 kD is indicated by an arrowhead at left in b. Bands corresponding to specific MMPs are shown.
