The extracellular pH (pHe) of tumor tissues is often acidic, which can induce the expression of several proteins. We previously showed that production of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) was induced by culturing cells at acidic pHe (5.4-6.5). We have here investigated the signal transduction pathway by which acidic pHe induces MMP-9 expression. We found that acidic pHe (5.9) activated phospholipase D (PLD), and inhibition of PLD activity by 1-butanol and Myr-ARF6 suppressed the acidic pHe-induced MMP-9 expression. Exogenous PLD, but not phosphatidylinositol specific PLC or PLA2, mimicked MMP-9 induction by acidic pHe. Western blot analysis revealed that acidic pHe increased the steady-state levels of phosphorylated ERK1/2 and p38 and that the PLD inhibitors suppressed these increases. Using 5'-deletion mutant constructs of the MMP-9 promoter, we found that the acidic pHe-responsive region was located at nt 670 to -531, a region containing the NF

Acidic extracellular pH induces matrix metalloproteinase-9 expression in mouse metastatic melanoma cells through the phospholipase D-MAPKs signaling
B binding site. A mutation into the NF
B binding site reduced, but not completely, the acidic pHe-induced MMP-9 promoter activity and NF
B activity was induced by acidic pHe. Pharmacological inhibitors specific for MEK1/2 (PD098059) and p38 (SB203580) attenuated the acidic pHe-induced NF
B activity and MMP-9 expression. These data suggest that PLD, MAPKs (ERK1/2 and p38), and NF
B mediate the acidic pHe signaling to induce MMP-9 expression. A transcription factor(s) other than NF
B may also be involved in the MMP-9 expression.
