Role of laminin in the attachment and metastasis of murine tumor cells.

چکیده
We have studied the attachment of two murine metastatic cell lines and of a transformed, nonmetastatic sarcoma cell line to type IV (basement membrane) collagen. The metastatic cells attached preferentially to type IV collagen, whereas the nonmetastic cells attached best to type I collagen. Laminin increased both the rate and the number of metastatic cells attaching to type IV collagen, while fibronectin had no effect. Antibodies to laminin prevented the attachment of metastatic cells to type IV collagen, while antibodies to fibronectin prevented the attachment of the nonmetastatic cells. The number of pulmonary metastases which formed after i.v. injection of cells into C57BL mice was used to measure the metastatic propensity of these cell lines. A subpopulation of the metastatic cells selected for by their ability to attach to type IV collagen in the presence of laminin produced more metastases than did unattached cells or cells attached with fibronectin. In addition, incubation of metastatic cells with antibody to laminin prior to injection into mice markedly reduced the number of lung metastases. These data suggest that laminin promotes the attachment of metastatic tumor cells to basement membrane during the metastaatic process.

Multiple Low Doses of 5-Fluorouracil Diminishes Immunosuppression by Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cells in Murine Melanoma Model
Background: Melanoma progression and metastasis is suggested to be mediated by increased accumulation of myeloid derived suppressor cells. Various chemotherapeutic drugs such as 5-Fluorouracil in single low concentration have the capacity, at least in part, to reverse tumor progression by reducing myeloid derived suppressor cellsmediated immunosuppression. Objective: To assess whether multiple ...
متن کاملThe role of microRNA-30a and downstream snail1 on the growth and metastasis of melanoma tumor
Objective(s): Growing evidences have indicated microRNAs as modulators of tumor development and aggression. On the other hand, a phenomenon known as epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) that indicates a transient phase from epithelial-like features to mesenchymal phenotype is a key player in tumor progression. In this study, we aimed to assess the potential impacts...
متن کاملInhibition of experimental metastasis of murine Lewis lung carcinoma by an inhibitor of glucosylceramide synthase and its possible mechanism of action.
In view of the increasing evidence that glucosphingolipids (GSLs) on tumor cell surfaces play an important role in tumor metastasis, an inhibitor of glucosylceramide synthase, D-threo-1-phenyl-2-decanoylamino-3-morpholino-1-propanol (D-PDMP) was used to evaluate the role of GSLs in this respect. Treatment of Lewis lung carcinoma cells with 5 microM D-PDMP resulted in a time-dependent marked dec...

The gene TP53 (also known as protein 53 or tumor protein 53), encoding transcription factor P53, is mutated or deleted in half of human cancers, demonstrating the crucial role of P53 in tumor suppression. There are reports of nearly 250 independent germ line TP53 mutations in over 100 publications. The P53 protein has the structure of a transcription factor and, is made up of several domains. T...
متن کاملMelanoma cell adhesion to basement membrane mediated by integrin-related complexes.
During invasion and metastasis, tumor cells use a variety of surface adhesion receptors to attach to and invade basement membranes and interstitial stroma. We examined the role of the cell surface integrin-like complex in the attachment of the invasive murine B16-BL6 melanoma cell line to basement membrane. Polyclonal antibodies prepared against integrin-related complexes isolated from hamster ...
