For an advanced elucidation of mechanisms of nm23-H1 suppressive effects on metastasis of primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), it is necessary to investigate the correlation between nm23-H1 expression and relative factors involved in the HCC invasion. In present report, full-length cDNA of nm23-H1 was subcloned into pBKCMV vector and transfected into HCC cell line to observe its effects on invasion, cytosolic free Ca2+ and Nras mRNA expression. The results showed that lower expression of N-ras and higher cytosolic free Ca2+ in transfected cell line were detected, while the potential of invasion was depressed. It suggests that the suppressive effects on HCC metastasis might interact with intracellular signal transduction which is essential for stimulating cell invasion.
