Crucial role of carbonic anhydrase IX in tumorigenicity of xenotransplanted adult T-cell leukemia-derived cells

Crucial role of carbonic anhydrase IX in tumorigenicity of xenotransplanted adult T‐cell leukemia‐derived cells

Carbonic anhydrase IX (CA9) is a membrane-associated carbonic anhydrase that regulates cellular pH, is upregulated in various solid tumors, and is considered to be a therapeutic target. Here, we describe the essential role of CA9 in the tumorigenicity of cells derived from human adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL). We previously established the highly tumorigenic ST1-N6 subline from the ATL-de...

Role of the carbonic anhydrase IX in cell migration

Background: Hypoxia-induced CA IX contributes to pH control in tumor cells, and control of pH is important for cell migration. Result: CA IX increases migration through its catalytic domain and interacts with bicarbonate transporters in lamellipodia. Conclusion: CA IX is an active component of the molecular machinery that facilitates migration of tumor cells through pH regulation at the leading...

Carbonic Anhydrase IX in Adult and Pediatric Brain Tumors

Xenotransplantation elicits salient tumorigenicity of adult T‐cell leukemia‐derived cells via aberrant AKT activation

The transplantation of human cancer cells into immunodeficient NOD/SCID/IL-2Rγc(null) (NOG) mice often causes highly malignant cell populations like cancer stem cells to emerge. Here, by serial transplantation in NOG mice, we established two highly tumorigenic adult T-cell leukemia-derived cell lines, ST1-N6 and TL-Om1-N8. When transplanted s.c., these cells formed tumors significantly earlier ...

carbonic Anhydrase IX shedding Through exosomes in Renal carcinoma cells

Carbonic anhydrase IX (CA IX) is a transmembrane glycoprotein highly expressed in clear cell carcinoma of the kidney and in a wide variety of other human cancers. Its expression is largely under the control of intratumoral hypoxia and in some subtypes of renal cell carcinoma (RCC), by the presence of a defective version of the von Hippel Lindau (VHL) gene by which the HIF-1α factor is stabilize...
