AbstractEndometrial and ovarian cancers are the most common and the most lethal gynecologic malignancies worldwide, respectively. By performing differential expression analysis using annealing control primer™-based reverse transcription (RT)-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on pooled complementary DNA (cDNA) from 45 endometrial and 36 ovarian cancers and their non-tumor samples, reduced expression of the follistatin-like 1 (FSTL1) was identified. Downregulation of FSTL1 was further confirmed on individual samples and cell lines by quantitative real-time RT-PCR and western blotting. For in vitro functional study, full-length cDNA of FSTL1 was cloned and transiently transfected into the ovarian cancer cell line Ovca420 and endometrial cancer cell line AN3CA. 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide assay and cell count demonstrated significantly slower proliferation rate. By terminal uridine deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling and flow cytometric analysis, higher apoptotic activity and a remarkable increase in sub-G 1 cell population were observed in transfected cells, suggesting that FSTL1 induced apoptosis in cancer cells. Subsequent messenger RNA and protein expression analysis on downstream apoptotic molecules revealed upregulation and/or activation of FAS, FASLG, TRADD, Caspase-3, Caspase-7 and PARP by FSTL1 transfection, suggesting that FSTL1 -induced apoptosis may be initiated mainly by FAS/FASLG death receptor-ligand binding. Cell migration and invasion assays demonstrated a remarkably lower cell migration and invasion capability in FSTL1 -transfected cells in relation to downregulation of matrix metallopeptidase-2. Our findings suggested that a tumor suppressor role of FSTL1 may be important in ovarian and endometrial carcinogenesis. © The Author 2008. Published by Oxford University Press. All rights reserved.
