Abstract:A morbillivirus infection of tumour cells is known to exert oncolytic activity, but the mechanism of this inhibitory action has not been well defined. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are important enzymes degrading the extracellular matrix and are often upregulated in malignant neoplasms. Recent studies have demonstrated that RECK may potently suppress MMP-2 and -9 activity, thus inhibiting angiogenesis and metastasis. In this study, real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to determine the effect of persistent infection with canine distemper virus (CDV) infection on the expression of MMPs and their inhibitors (TIMPS) in a canine macrophage/monocytic tumour cell line (DH82). The activity of proMMP-2 and proMMP-9 was also verified zymographically. Following CDV infection, MMP-2, TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 were down-regulated, while RECK was upregulated. These findings suggest that CDV infection restores RECK expression in tumour cells and may interfere with the intracellular processing of MMPs and TIMPs, thus possibly influencing tumour cell behaviour beneficially for the host. However, this needs to be verified in in vivo studies.
