Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant bone tumor in childhood, and it maintains a high level of recurrence. Matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) was found to contribute to cancer progression. The present study was to investigate the in vitro effects of MMP-1 over-expression on the proliferation, invasion, metastasis and stem-like properties of osteosarcoma MG-63 cells. The MG-63 cells were cultured and had a full length MMP-1 cDNA inserted by the lentiviral vector (MG-63(MMP-1+)). MG-63 negative control and MG-63 blank control groups were established as well. MMP-1 expression was detected in MG-63(MMP-1+), MG-63 negative control and MG-63 blank control cells using qPCR, Western blotting and immunofluorescence after 24 h of culture. The cell proliferation assay was performed with a camera attached to a bioreactor, which was programmed to photograph five regions of each well every 10 min over a period of 48 h. The cell invasion assay was conducted with Matrigel to assess the invasive potential of MG-63 cells over 24 h, the qPCR analysis to measure stem cell markers, including Oct4, Sox-2, Nanog, and Pax-7, and Western blot analysis to detect invasive and metastatic potential markers TIMP-1, VEGF and BMP2/4, after 24 h of culture. Immunofluorescence was used to investigate the presence of the stem cell marker Pax-7 after 24-h culture. The results showed that over-expression of MMP-1 after transfection could significantly increase tumor cell proliferation and invasion (P<0.05, MG-63(MMP-1+)versus controls). Pax-7 was highly expressed in MG-63(MMP-1+) cells, with no significant changes of Oct-4, Sox-2, and Nanog observed (P<0.05). MG-63(MMP-1+) cells showed higher expression of VEGF and BMP 2/4 proteins and lower expression of TIMP-1 protein than controls (P<0.05). It was concluded that MMP-1 over-expression in MG-63 cells contributed to the proliferation, invasion, metastasis and stem-like properties of osteosarcoma cells. Future studies should focus on in vivo effects of MMP-1 over-expression and the application of MMP-1 and Pax-7 inhibition in vivo to osteosarcoma therapies.
