Abstract

Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a serine-protease that, in addition to cleaving semenogelins in the seminal coagulum, is able to cleave extracellular matrix glycoproteins, thereby affecting cell migration and metastasis. We here report some new activities of PSA that deserve careful consideration in the cancer context: degradation of gelatin, degradation of type IV collagen in reconstituted basement membrane (Matrigel) and activation of progelatinase A (MMP-2), but not pro-MMP-9, in a cell-free system. Since consumption of green tea has been reported to lower the risk of prostate cancer, we investigated the effects of the major flavanol of green tea, (-)epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), on expression and activity of PSA by prostate carcinoma cells. In addition to restraint of PSA expression, EGCG was found to inhibit in a dose-dependent manner all the above PSA activities, at concentrations lower than the cytotoxic serine-protease inhibitor PMSF and close to levels measured in the serum following ingestion of green tea. The activity of PSA was suppressed also by the elastase released by the inflammatory leukocytes. These results highlight new PSA activities, suggest gelatin zymography as a new convenient assay for PSA, prop...Continue Reading
