MMP‐2 and MMP‐13 affect vasculogenic mimicry formation in large cell lung cancer
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have critical functions in tumour vasculogenic mimicry (VM). This study explored the mechanisms underlying MMP-13 and MMP-2 regulation of tumour VM formation in large cell lung cancer (LCLC). In our study, laminin5 (Ln-5) fragments cleaved by MMP-2 promoted tubular structure formation by the LCLC cell lines H460 and H661 in three-dimensional (3D) cultures. Trans...
متن کاملPhosphoinositide 3-kinase regulates membrane Type 1-matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) and MMP-2 activity during melanoma cell vasculogenic mimicry.
Vasculogenic mimicry (VM) describes the unique ability of highly aggressive melanoma tumor cells to express endothelial cell-associated genes (such as EphA2 and VE-cadherin) and form vasculogenic-like networks when cultured on a three-dimensional matrix. VM has been described in several types of aggressive tumors, including melanoma, prostate, breast, and ovarian carcinomas. However, the molecu...
متن کاملVasculogenic mimicry in small cell lung cancer
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is characterized by prevalent circulating tumour cells (CTCs), early metastasis and poor prognosis. We show that SCLC patients (37/38) have rare CTC subpopulations co-expressing vascular endothelial-cadherin (VE-cadherin) and cytokeratins consistent with vasculogenic mimicry (VM), a process whereby tumour cells form 'endothelial-like' vessels. Single-cell genomic a...
متن کاملInhibitory effect of norcantharidin on melanoma tumor growth and vasculogenic mimicry by suppressing MMP-2 expression
A form of microcirculation called vasculogenic mimicry (VM), which constitutes a novel approach for tumor blood supply in certain highly aggressive malignant tumors, was recently reported to contribute to tumor metastasis and poor prognosis in melanoma patients. Development of strategies to target tumor VM may be significant to reduce the recurrence and metastasis of melanoma. Norcantharidin (N...
متن کاملRictor regulates the vasculogenic mimicry of melanoma via the AKT‐MMP‐2/9 pathway
Vasculogenic mimicry (VM)-positive melanomas are usually associated with poor prognosis. Rictor, the key component of the rapamycin-insensitive complex of mTOR (mTORC2), is up-regulated in several cancers, especially in melanomas with poor prognosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of Rictor in the regulation of VM and the mechanism underlying this possible regulation. VM chan...
