Abstract

We examined the inhibitory effect of a serine protease inhibitor, FOY-305, on the invasion and metastasis of human pancreatic cancers. The in vitro matrigel invasion assay showed that the invasiveness of Capan-1 human pancreatic cancer cells was inhibited by FOY-305 treatment in a dose-dependent manner at concentrations greater than 100 nM. Intrasplenic injection of Capan-1 cells in nude mice resulted in frequent metastases to liver, however, its incidence was significantly decreased by FOY-305 treatment. These findings suggest that a serine protease inhibitor, FOY-305 can inhibit tumor invasion and metastasis by blocking the serine protease-mediated activation cascade.
