Galectin-9 suppresses tumor metastasis by blocking adhesion to endothelium and extracellular matrices.
We previously described an inverse correlation between galectin-9 (Gal-9) expression and metastasis in patients with malignant melanoma and breast cancer. This study verified the ability of Gal-9 to inhibit lung metastasis in experimental mouse models using highly metastatic B16F10 melanoma and Colon26 colon cancer cells. B16F10 cells transfected with a secreted form of Gal-9 lost their metasta...
متن کاملExtracellular Galectin-3 in Tumor Progression and Metastasis
Galectin-3, the only chimera galectin found in vertebrates, is one of the best-studied galectins. It is expressed in several cell types and is involved in a broad range of physiological and pathological processes, such as cell adhesion, cell activation and chemoattraction, cell cycle, apoptosis, and cell growth and differentiation. However, this molecule raises special interest due to its role ...
متن کاملAdhesion and Signaling of Tumor Cells to Leukocytes and Endothelium in Cancer Metastasis
Heterotypic cell–cell adhesion in the near wall region under dynamic shear forces has been studied. In particular, we focus on neutrophil (PMN)– melanoma cell emboli formation in a non-linear shear flow and subsequent tethering to the vascular endothelium (EC) as a result of cell–cell aggregation. The extent of tumor cell adhesion to a vessel wall is governed by the kinetic formation/ disruptio...
متن کاملProstate tumor CXC-chemokine profile correlates with cell adhesion to endothelium and extracellular matrix.
Though chemokines of the CXC family are thought to play key roles in neoplastic transformation and tumor invasion, information about CXC chemokines in prostate cancer is sparse. To evaluate the involvement of CXC chemokines in prostate cancer, we analyzed the CXC coding mRNA of both chemokine ligands (CXCL) and chemokine receptors (CXCR), using the prostate carcinoma cell lines PC-3, DU-145 and...
متن کاملmiRNA-29c Suppresses Lung Cancer Cell Adhesion to Extracellular Matrix and Metastasis by Targeting Integrin β1 and Matrix Metalloproteinase2 (MMP2)
Our pilot study using miRNA arrays found that miRNA-29c (miR-29c) is differentially expressed in the paired low-metastatic lung cancer cell line 95C compared to the high-metastatic lung cancer cell line 95D. Bioinformatics analysis shows that integrin β1 and matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2) could be important target genes of miR-29c. Therefore, we hypothesized that miR-29c suppresses lung canc...
