| Summary: | We investigated peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ) ligands effect on cell motility and the plasminogen activator system using normal MCF-10A and malignant MCF-10CA1 cell lines. Ciglitazone reduced both wound-induced migration and chemotaxis. However, the effect was not reversed with pretreatment of cells with the PPAR-γ-specific antagonist GW9662. Immunoblot analysis of conditioned media showed ciglitazone decreased plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) in both cell lines; this effect was also unaltered by PPAR-γ antagonism. Alternatively, treatment with the ω-6 fatty acid arachidonic acid (ArA), but not the ω-3 fatty acid docosahexanoic acid, increased both MCF-10A cell migration and cell surface uPA activity. Pretreatment with a PPAR-γ antagonist reversed these effects, suggesting that ArA mediates its effect on cell motility and uPA activity through PPAR-γ activation. Collectively, the data suggest PPAR-γ ligands have a differential effect on normal and malignant cell migration and the plasminogen activation system, resulting from PPAR-γ-dependent and PPAR-γ-independent effects. |
