Abstract
Meningiomas are tumours derived from the arachnoid and pia mater. During embryogenesis, these membranes develop from the migrating craniofacial neural crest. We have previously demonstrated that meningiomas have characteristic features of embryonic meninges. Craniofacial neural crest derivatives are affected during normal development and migration by retinoic acid. We speculated, therefore, that meningioma cell migration and invasion would be affected in a similar way. In this study we investigated the mechanisms of invasion and migration in meningiomas and the effects of retinoic acid (RA). We found that low doses of RA inhibit in vitro invasion in meningioma cells, without affecting cell proliferation or viability. The matrix metalloproteinases MMP-2 (72 kDa gelatinase) and MMP-9 (92 kDa gelatinase), which play a key role in invasion in other tumours, are not affected by RA. RA inhibits cell migration on collagen I and fibronectin. A possible mechanism for these effects is provided by the fact that RA strongly stimulates adhesion of meningioma cells to extracellular matrix substrates. As in vitro invasion, migration and decreased adhesion to the extracellular matrix correlate with the clinical manifestation of tumour invasion, we conclude that RA induces a non-invasive phenotype in meningioma cells. © 1999 Cancer Research Campaig
