چکیده

We have studied the cytokine regulation of cell surface and soluble intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) expression on the human melanoma cell line A375M. Unstimulated cells express ICAM-1 on their cell surface but do not secrete significant levels of soluble ICAM-1. Interleukin 1, interleukin 6, tumor necrosis factor, and gamma-interferon all increased cell surface expression of ICAM-1. Tumor necrosis factor, interleukin 1, and gamma-interferon also caused the release of soluble ICAM-1. The serum of melanoma patients has been reported to contain elevated levels of soluble ICAM-1; however, the source of this ICAM-1 is unclear. The serum from nude mice bearing s.c. human melanoma tumors was found to contain soluble human ICAM-1. ICAM-1 levels showed a positive correlation with tumor weight. The release of ICAM-1 from melanoma tumors, in response to host-derived cytokines, may have relevance to immune recognition of the tumor.

Adhesion Molecule-1 Stimulation of Tumor Growth by Human Soluble Intercellular

Because serum levels of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) are elevated in cancer and sICAM-1 is angiogenic, we tested the ability of sICAM-1 to promote tumor growth. Our preliminary experiments showed that exogenous sICAM-1 significantly stimulated the growth of human tumors in vivo. Human fibrosarcoma transfectants, which express ICAM-1, produce ICAM-1 on the cell surface and...

Effect of Immune Responses Against Hydatid Cyst Antigens on Growth of Melanoma Tumor

Background: Hydatid cyst is the larval stage of the tape worm parasite, Echinococcus granulosus. Human is infected by ingestion of parasite ova excreted in dog feces. The anticancer activity of different antigens of hydatid cyst has been reported in the previous works. In this research, the role of immune system in induction of this anticancer activity has been investigated.Materials and Method...

Endothelin B receptor blockade inhibits dynamics of cell interactions and communications in melanoma cell progression.

Phenotypic and genotypic analyses of cutaneous melanoma have identified the endothelin B receptor (ET(B)R) as tumor progression marker, thus representing a potential therapeutic target. Here, we demonstrate that activation of ET(B)R by endothelin-1 (ET-1) and ET-3 leads to loss of expression of the cell adhesion molecule E-cadherin and associated catenin proteins and gain of N-cadherin expressi...

Tumor angiogenesis modulates leukocyte-vessel wall interactions in vivo by reducing endothelial adhesion molecule expression.

The expression of endothelial cell (EC) adhesion molecules involved in leukocyte-vessel wall interactions is suppressed in malignancies. In the present study, we investigated in vivo the regulation of leukocyte-vessel wall interactions by the presence of a tumor. By means of intravital microscopy, tumor necrosis factor alpha-stimulated leukocyte-vessel wall interactions were studied in ear skin...
