DDRs: receptors that mediate adhesion, migration and invasion in breast cancer cells
نویسندگان
چکیده
Discoidin domain receptors (DDRs) are receptor tyrosine kinases that are activated by native collagens and have an important role during cell adhesion, development, differentiation, proliferation, and migration. DDR deregulation is associated with progression of several different cancers. However, there is limited information about the role of DDRs in the progression of breast cancer. In this review we attempt to collect the most relevant information about DDR signaling and their role in various cancer-related processes such as adhesion, epithelial to mesenchymal transition, migration, invasion, and survival, with a focus on breast cancer.

Berberine suppresses migration of MCF-7 breast cancer cells through down-regulation of chemokine receptors
Objective(s): Berberine is one of the main alkaloids and it has been proven to have different pharmacological effects including inhibition of cell cycle and progression of apoptosis in various cancerous cells; however, its effects on cancer metastasis are not well known. Cancer cells obtain the ability to change their chemokine system and convert into metastatic cells. In this study, we examine...

Studies show that cancer cell invasion or metastasis is the primary cause of death inmalignancies including breast cancer. The existence of cancer stem cells (CSCs) in breast cancermay account for tumor initiation, progression, and metastasis. Recent studies have reporteddifferent effects of cannabinoids on cancer cells via CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors. In thepresent study, the effects of ...
متن کاملThe Effects of Tamoxifen in Combination with Tranilast on CXCL12- CXCR4 Axis and Invasion in Breast Cancer Cell Lines
It has been reported that CXCL12 binding to CXCR4 induces several intracellular signaling pathways, and enhances survival, proliferation, and migration of malignant cells. Herein we examined the effects of anti-estrogen tamoxifen and anti-allergic tranilast drugs as a single or in combination on invasion by two in vitro invasion assays, wound-healing and matrigel invasion on MCF-7 and MDA-MB-23...

Objective(s): Various studies have been conducted to reduce the metastatic behavior of cancerous cells. In this regard, ectopic expression of anti-metastatic microRNAs by miR-mimic and miR-restoration-based therapies could bring new insights to the field. In the present study, the consequences of co-transfecting breast cancer cell lines with miR-193b and miR-31 were investigated via invasion an...
