Restoring hemidesmosomes to prevent cancer cell invasiveness
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has a dismal survival rate. Patients are diagnosed at either a local invasive or metastatic stage, but will ultimately dye within five years after diagnosis. This dismal prognosis is first the result of a late diagnosis. Symptoms appear when the primary tumor has already spread out and specific diagnosis tools such as imaging techniques or biomarkers enab...
متن کاملThe Effects of NDRG2 Overexpression on Cell Proliferation and Invasiveness of SW48 Colorectal Cancer Cell Line
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common causes of cancer-related death in the world. The expression of N-myc downstream-regulated gene 2 (NDRG2) is down-regulated in CRC. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of NDRG2 overexpression on cell proliferation and invasive potential of SW48 cells.Methods: SW48 cells were transfected with a plasmid overexpressing ND...
متن کاملGPR54 (KISS1R) Transactivates EGFR to Promote Breast Cancer Cell Invasiveness
Kisspeptins (Kp), peptide products of the Kisspeptin-1 (KISS1) gene are endogenous ligands for a G protein-coupled receptor 54 (GPR54). Previous findings have shown that KISS1 acts as a metastasis suppressor in numerous cancers in humans. However, recent studies have demonstrated that an increase in KISS1 and GPR54 expression in human breast tumors correlates with higher tumor grade and metasta...
متن کاملCell polarity signaling in the plasticity of cancer cell invasiveness
Apico-basal polarity is typical of cells present in differentiated epithelium while front-rear polarity develops in motile cells. In cancer development, the transition from epithelial to migratory polarity may be seen as the hallmark of cancer progression to an invasive and metastatic disease. Despite the morphological and functional dissimilarity, both epithelial and migratory polarity are con...
متن کاملRestoring PML tumor suppression to combat cancer
Surmounting multiple tumor suppressive barriers is fundamental to cancer onset, but also predicts that their restoration may pose a powerful anticancer strategy. The proof of this principle has been elegantly demonstrated by the restoration of p53-induced tumor suppression (reviewed in ref. 1). The promyelocytic leukemia protein (PML) is emerging as a key tumor suppressor that is inactivated in...
