KAI1 COOH-terminal interacting tetraspanin (KITENIN), a member of the tetraspanin family, interacts with KAI1, a tumor metastasis suppressor, and enhances metastasis of cancer.
We cloned recently an alternatively spliced variant of KAI1 mRNA that lacked exon 7 at the COOH-terminal region and showed differences in metastasis suppression when compared with the wild-type KAI1. These findings indicated that the COOH-terminal region of KAI1 is critical for its metastasis suppressor function. In this study, we isolated a cDNA clone of VANGL1, a member of the tetraspanin pro...
متن کاملGene Therapy for Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma Using KITENIN (KAI1 COOH-Terminal Interacting Tetraspanin)-Antisense Therapy
PURPOSE KAI1 COOH-terminal interacting tetraspanin (KITENIN) has been found to act as a promoter of metastasis in murine models of colon cancer and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The suppression of tumor progression and metastasis of established colon cancer in mice was observed after intravenous delivery of small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting KITENIN. The purpose of this study was to inves...
متن کاملKAI1 metastasis suppressor protein in cervical cancer.
We are very pleased to hear of the molecular abnormalities in two new pancreatoblastomas of Kerr et al. In our recent study of nine pancreatoblastomas, allelic loss on chromosome 11p15.5 was present in 6 of 7 informative cases (86%), and mutations in the APC/ -catenin pathway in 6 of 9 cases (67%). These findings underscore the clinical association between pancreatoblastoma formation and Beckwi...
متن کاملExpression of the Metastasis Suppressor KAI1 in Uveal Melanoma
Introduction. Uveal melanoma (UM) is an intraocular tumor that leads to metastatic disease in approximately 50% of afflicted patients. There is no efficacious treatment for metastatic disease in this cancer. Identification of markers that can offer prognostic and therapeutic value is a major focus in this field at present. KAI1 is a metastasis suppressor gene that has been reported to play a ro...
متن کاملKITENIN promotes glioma invasiveness and progression, associated with the induction of EMT and stemness markers
KITENIN (KAI1 COOH-terminal interacting tetraspanin) promotes tumor invasion and metastasis in various cancers. This study assessed the association between KITENIN expression and advanced glioma grade in patients. In vitro assays revealed that KITENIN knockdown inhibited the invasion and migration of glioma cells, whereas KITENIN overexpression promoted their invasion and migration. In orthotop...
