Rho kinase inhibitors block melanoma cell migration and inhibit metastasis.
There is an urgent need to identify new therapeutic opportunities for metastatic melanoma. Fragment-based screening has led to the discovery of orally available, ATP-competitive AKT kinase inhibitors, AT13148 and CCT129254. These compounds also inhibit the Rho-kinases ROCK 1 and ROCK 2 and we show they potently inhibit ROCK activity in melanoma cells in culture and in vivo. Treatment of melanom...
متن کاملCholine-releasing glycerophosphodiesterase EDI3 drives tumor cell migration and metastasis.
Metastasis from primary tumors remains a major problem for tumor therapy. In the search for markers of metastasis and more effective therapies, the tumor metabolome is relevant because of its importance to the malignant phenotype and metastatic capacity of tumor cells. Altered choline metabolism is a hallmark of cancer. More specifically, a decreased glycerophosphocholine (GPC) to phosphocholin...
متن کاملFNDC3B promotes cell migration and tumor metastasis in hepatocellular carcinoma
Recurrence and metastasis are common in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and correlate with poor prognosis. We investigated the role of fibronectin type III domain containing 3B (FNDC3B) in HCC metastasis. Overexpression of FNDC3B in HCC cell lines enhanced cell migration and invasion. On the other hand, knockdown of FNDC3B using short-hairpin RNA reduced tumor nodule formation in both intra- and...
متن کاملMacrophages: Obligate Partners for Tumor Cell Migration, Invasion, and Metastasis
Macrophages within the tumor microenvironment facilitate angiogenesis and extracellular-matrix breakdown and remodeling and promote tumor cell motility. Recent studies reveal that direct communication between macrophages and tumor cells leads to invasion and egress of tumor cells into the blood vessels (intravasation). Thus, macrophages are at the center of the invasion microenvironment and are...
متن کاملContaining Cancer: Hepsin Inhibitors May Block Metastasis
If treated early, prostate cancer is usually curable. After metastasis occurs, however, these tumors become resistant to treatment and are generally fatal. Therefore, inhibiting metastasis may significantly improve the survival time for patients with prostate cancer. The Vasioukhin laboratory has previously shown that the host serine protease Hepsin promotes prostate cancer progression and meta...
