Proteinase-3 (PR-3), a serine-proteinase mainly expressed by polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs), can degrade a variety of extracellular matrix proteins and may contribute to a number of inflammation-triggered diseases. Here, we show that in addition to Matrigel(TM) components, PR-3 is also able to degrade denatured collagen and directly activate secreted but not membrane-bound pro-MMP-2, a matrix metallo-proteinase instrumental to cellular invasion. In contrast, following addition of purified PR-3 or PMNs to HT1080 tumor cells, dose-dependent inhibition. of in vitro Matrigel(TM) invasion is registered. (-)Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), the main flavanol in green tea and known to inhibit inflammation and tumor invasion, exerts dose-dependent inhibition of degradation of gelatin (IC50<20 muM) and casein, which is directly triggered by PR-3. The presence of EGCG does not modify the colocalization of MMP-2 and exogenous PR-3 at the cell surface and does not restrain secreted pro-MMP-2 and proMMP-9 activation or degradation of a specific, synthetic peptide by PR-3. These results add new activities to the list of those exerted by PR-3 and indicate a differential inhibition as a result of EGCG.
