Abstract

The HGF/c-Met pathway is an important regulator of signaling pathways responsible for invasion and metastasis of most human cancers, including prostate cancer. Exposure of DU145 prostate tumor cells to HGF stimulates the PI3-kinase and MAPK pathways, leading to increased scattering, motility, and invasion, which was prevented by the addition of EGCG. EGCG acted at the level of preventing phosphorylation of tyrosines 1234/1235 in the kinase domain of the c-Met receptor without effecting dimerization. HGF-induced changes were independent of the formation of reactive oxygen species, suggesting that EGCG functioned independent of its antioxidant ability. ECG, another tea polyphenol, was as effective as EGCG, while EGC and EC were less effective. EGCG added up to 4 h after the addition of HGF still blocked cell scattering and reduced the HGF-induced phosphorylation of c-Met, Akt, and Erk, suggesting that EGCG could act both by preventing activation of c-Met by HGF and by attenuating the activity of pathways already induced by HGF. HGF did not activate the MAPK and PI3-K pathways in cells treated with methyl-beta-cyclodextrin (mCD) to remove cholesterol. Furthermore, subcellular fractionation approaches demonstrated that only phospho...Continue Reading
