چکیده

Integrins are major mediators of cancer cell adhesion to extracellular matrix. Through this interaction, integrins play critical roles in cell migration, invasion, metastasis, and resistance to apoptosis during tumor progression. Recent studies highlight the importance of integrin trafficking, endocytosis and recycling, for the functions of integrins in cancer cells. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of integrin trafficking is pivotal for understanding tumor progression and for the development of anticancer drugs.

Rab11 is required for maintenance of cell shape via βPS integrin mediated cell adhesion in Drosophila

In eukaryotes, vesicle trafficking is regulated by the small monomeric GTPases of the Rab protein family. Rab11, (a subfamily of the Ypt/Rab gene family) an evolutionarily conserved, ubiquitously expressed subfamily of small monomeric Rab GTPases, has been implicated in regulating vesicular trafficking through the recycling of endosomal compartment. In an earlier communication, we have shown th...

Rab11 in Disease Progression

Membrane/ protein trafficking in the secretory/ biosynthetic and endocytic pathways is mediated by vesicles. Vesicle trafficking in eukaryotes is regulated by a class of small monomeric GTPases the Rab protein family. Rab proteins represent the largest branch of the Ras superfamily GTPases, and have been concerned in a variety of intracellular vesicle trafficking and different intracellular sig...

Haploinsufficiency of the ESCRT Component HD-PTP Predisposes to Cancer.

Endosomal sorting complexes required for transport (ESCRT) drive cell surface receptor degradation resulting in attenuation of oncogenic signaling and pointing to a tumor suppressor function. Here, we show that loss of function of an ESCRT protein (HD-PTP encoded by the PTPN23 gene, located on the tumor suppressor gene cluster 3p21.3) drives tumorigenesis in vivo. Indeed, Ptpn23(+/-) loss predi...

Cell-surface association between matrix metalloproteinases and integrins: role of the complexes in leukocyte migration and cancer progression.

Leukocyte motility is known to be dependent on both beta2-integrins and matrix metalloproteinases MMP-2/-9 or gelatinases, which mediate leukocyte adhesion and the proteolysis needed for invasion, respectively. Gelatinases not only play an important role in cell migration, tissue remodeling, and angiogenesis during development, but are also involved in the progression and invasiveness of many c...

The CD34-like protein PODXL and alpha6-integrin (CD49f) identify early progenitor MSCs with increased clonogenicity and migration to infarcted heart in mice.

We screened for surface proteins expressed only by the early progenitor cells present in low-passage, low-density cultures of the adult stem/progenitor cells from bone marrow referred to as mesenchymal stem cells or multipotent stromal cells (MSCs). Six proteins were identified that were selectively expressed in the early progenitors: podocalyxin-like protein (PODXL), alpha6-integrin (CD49f), a...
