The mir-423-5p/MMP-2 Axis Regulates the Nerve Growth Factor-Induced Promotion of Chondrosarcoma Metastasis

Simple Summary A chondrosarcoma is a common tumor of the bone that has a high propensity to metastasize to distant organs. The effects of NGF in a chondrosarcoma are not confirmed although NGF is capable of promoting the progression and metastasis of several different types of tumors. Here, we found that NGF promotes the chondrosarcoma migration and metastasis in vitro and in vivo. The levels of NGF and MMP-2 in human chondrosarcoma tumor tissues correlated strongly with the tumor stage. We identified that NGF induces the MMP-2 synthesis and chondrosarcoma cell motility by inhibiting miR-423-5p expression through the FAK and c-Src pathways. We suggest that NGF is a worthwhile therapeutic target in the treatment of a metastatic chondrosarcoma. Abstract A chondrosarcoma is a common tumor of the soft tissue and bone that has a high propensity to metastasize to distant organs. Nerve growth factor (NGF) is capable of promoting the progression and metastasis of several different types of tumors although the effects of NGF in a chondrosarcoma are not confirmed. Here, we found that the levels of NGF and matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) correlated with the tumor stage in patients with a chondrosarcoma. NGF facilitated the MMP-2-dependent cellular migration in human chondrosarcoma JJ012 cells while the overexpression of NGF enhanced the lung metastasis in a mouse model of a chondrosarcoma. NGF promoted the MMP-2 synthesis and cell migration by inhibiting miR-423-5p expression through the FAK and c-Src signaling cascades. NGF appears to be a worthwhile therapeutic target in the treatment of a metastatic chondrosarcoma.
