Targeting tumor metastasis by regulating Nm23 gene expression.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Nm23 gene is a metastatic suppressor identified in a melanoma cell line and expressed in different tumors where their levels of expression are associated with reduced or increased metastatic potential. Nm23 is one of the over 20 metastasis suppressor genes (MSGs) confirmed in vivo. It is highly conserved from yeast to human, implying a critical developmental function. Tumors with alteration of the p53 gene and reduced expression of the Nm23 gene are more prone to metastasis. Nm23-H1 has 3'-5' exonuclease activity. This review focuses on the role of Nm23 in cancer progression and also a potential novel target for cancer therapy.

EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTS OF IBUPROFEN CYTOTOXIC DOSE ON EXPRESSION LEVEL OF EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX DEGRADING MMP-9 AND ANTI-METASTASIS NM23 GENES IN CERVICAL CANCER CELLS
Background & Aim: Although studies have shown that ibuprofen has anticancer effects on many cancer cells, the mechanism of the ibuprofen anticancer effect in cancer cells is not still well understood. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of cytotoxic concentration of ibuprofen on the expression level of MMP-9 and NM23 genes in cervical cancer cells. Materials & Methods: During t...
متن کاملNm23-H1 suppresses tumor cell motility by down-regulating the lysophosphatidic acid receptor EDG2.
Exogenous overexpression of the metastasis suppressor gene Nm23-H1 reduces the metastatic potential of multiple types of cancer cells and suppresses in vitro tumor cell motility and invasion. Mutational analysis of Nm23-H1 revealed that substitution mutants P96S and S120G did not inhibit motility and invasion. To elucidate the molecular mechanism of Nm23-H1 motility suppression, expression micr...

Glycyrrhiza is a genus of about 20 accepted species in the legume family (Fabaceae), with a distribution in Asia, Australia, Europe, and the Americas. Recently, about 30 species from the genus Glycyrrhiza have been found and used in traditional medicine for treating cancer. Different studies confirmed that down regulation of Non-metastatic protein (NM23), a metastasis suppressor gene is related...

BACKGROUND The metastasis-suppressing role of the NM23 gene in the metastatic spread of solid tumors is still debated. We examined the role of NM23 in tumor development and metastatic dissemination by using transgenic mice that lack mouse NM23 (NM23-M1) in two mouse models of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) that recapitulate all steps of tumor progression. METHODS We induced HCC in mice that c...
متن کاملNonmetastatic Protein 23 Homologue H1 and Estrogen Interaction of the Tumor Metastasis Suppressor
Metastasis of cancer cells from the primary tumor is associated with poor prognosis and decreased overall survival. One protein implicated in inhibiting metastasis is the tumor metastasis suppressor nonmetastatic protein 23 homologue 1 (NM23-H1). NM23-H1 is a multifunctional protein, which, in addition to limiting metastasis, has DNase and histidine protein kinase activities. We have identified...
