Our recent work showed that, using a cDNA microarray analysis, pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) is a candidate bikunin target gene. To clarify how reduced levels of PAPP-A may confer repressed invasiveness, we transfected human ovarian cancer cell line HRA with antisense (AS)-PAPP-A cDNA and compared the properties of the transfected cells to those of parental HRA cells. Here, we show that regulation of uPA mRNA and protein by IGF-I depends on the PI3K and MAPK signaling pathways and phosphorylation of Akt and ERK1/2 is required for IGF-I-mediated cell invasion; that IGFBP-4 protease in HRA cells is identified as PAPP-A; that reduced PAPP-A expression is associated with the upregulation of IGFBP-4 expression; that higher intact IGFBP-4 levels were associated with low invasive potential and growth rate in AS-PAPP-A cells in response to IGF-I; that IGF-I stimulates Akt and ERK1/2 activation of both the control and antisense cells, but the relative potency and efficacy of IGF-I were lower in the antisense cells compared to the control; and that genetic downregulation of PAPP-A reduces the proliferation, invasion and metastasis of HRA cells. In conclusion, our data identify a novel role for PAPP-A as a bikunin target gene. IGF-I-induced IGFBP-4 proteolysis by PAPP-A may enhance cell growth and invasion through IGF-I-dependent Akt and ERK1/2 activation and subsequently upregulation of uPA."}
