AIM: To investigate the effect of endothelin-1 in the invasion of esophageal cancer and determine whether cathepsin B plays a role in the course.METHODS: Western blotting was employed to detect the expression of ET-1 protein in 75 samples of esophageal squamous cell cancer and matched normal esophageal mucosa. Bosentan, a dual ET (A/B)receptor antagonist, was used to inhibit the binding of endothelin-1 and its receptors and cut down its biological role. In vitro matrigel invasion assays were made to show the invasive ability of esophageal cancer cells with and without bosentan. Subsequently, we evaluated cathepsin B activity and expression in EC9706 cell with and without bosentan.RESULTS: We found 74.7% (56/75) tumors had an overexpression of ET-1 protein by Western blotting.Bosentan significantly inhibited matrigel invasion of cancer cellsin vitro. EC9706 cells have a positive expression of cathepsin B protein, and bosentan can down-regulate its expression and activity.CONCLUSION: Endothelin-1 may enhance the invasive ability of human esophageal cancer cells, and its role is correlated with cathepsin B.
