Pancreatic trypsin has been found to induce
tight junction or dome formation in some colon cancer cell lines
(HT-29, Caco-2), and a tumor-associated trypsinogen, trypsinogen type
II, has been isolated from another colon cancer cell line (COLO
205). We have tried to determine if trypsinogen is present
and how its expression varies during cell culture in HT-29 Glc+/
and Caco-2 cells, which exhibit enterocytic differentiation, and in
HT-29 Glc+ cells, which never differentiate. Trypsinogen
mRNA presence and expression were demonstrated in these cells by mRNA
hybridization, RT-PCR, cytoimmunofluorescence, Western immunoblot
analysis, and gel filtration. Trypsinogen was found to be trypsinogen
type I and was mainly in zymogen form in culture media. Differentiating
cells exhibited variations in trypsinogen I expression, but cells that
remained undifferentiated did not. In the differentiated cells, a high and transient peak in trypsinogen I expression was observed during the
first steps of differentiation.
