Aims: Alpinia kaisumadai was recently found in our previous study to have anti-migratory and anti-invasion activities against HT-1080 cells. However, the study did not demonstrate the exact component of Alpinia katsumadai with anti-migratory and anti-invasive activities. We tested the effects and relevant mechanism of cardamonin (CDN) on the migration and invasion of cancer cells. Main methods: Migration and invasion of cancer cells were measured using multi-well chambers. Zymography and Western blots were used to examine the effects of CDN on the activities of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and expression of transglutaminase-2 (Tgase-2). Key findings: CDN, but not alpinetin, dose-dependently suppressed the migration and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced invasion of HT-1080 sarcoma cells. CDN suppressed the expression of Tgase-2, MMP-2, NF-kappa B and MMP-9 in HT-1080 cells, and suppressed MMP-2 and MMP-9 activities. Gene silencing of Tgase-2 suppressed the migration and invasion of HT-1080 cells and suppressed the activities of MMP-2 and MMP-9. Migration of various cancer cells having high levels of Tgase-2 were also inhibited by CDN. CDN and Alpinia katsumadai extracts also directly inhibited the activity of Tgase-2. Significance: CDN inhibits migration of several cancer cell lines expressing Tgase-2 via suppression of Tgase-2 expression and inhibition of Tgase-2 activity. The finding that CON has Tgase-2 inhibitory activity will give us a new scaffold or clue of pharmacophore for the development of more effective Tgase-2 inhibitors. (C) 2012 Elsevier Inc.
