The goal of the current study is to examine the biological effects of epithelial-specific tumor suppressor maspin on tumor host immune response. Accumulated evidence demonstrates an anti-tumor effect of maspin on tumor growth, invasion and metastasis. The molecular mechanism underlying these biological functions of maspin is thought to be through histone deacetylase inhibition, key to the maint...
It is well documented that the binding of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) to its receptor (uPAR), which has been implicated in cancer invasion and metastasis, is regulated by several inhibitors such as maspin. In this study, we investigated the interrelationship between clinicopathologic findings and expression of uPA, uPAR and maspin i...
Capsule Background: Maspin is a multifaceted serpin. But the role of intracellular maspin is still not well understood. Results: Our study provides evidence that the structurally exposed cysteine residues in maspin reduce oxidative stress and cellular proliferation. Conclusion: Cysteine thiols in maspin scavenge reactive oxygen species in tumor cells. Significance: These findings elucidate the ...
Maspin (SERPINB5) is accepted as an important tumour suppressor lost in many cancers. Consistent with a critical role in development or differentiation maspin knockout mice die during early embryogenesis, yet clinical data conflict on the prognostic utility of maspin expression. Here to reconcile these findings we made conditional knockout mice. Surprisingly, maspin knockout embryos develop int...
Maspin is a tumor-suppressor serpin (serine protease inhibitor), which inhibits cell invasion and migration. Here, we analyzed maspin function in cell adhesion in nontransformed mammary epithelial cells and investigated the underlying mechanism involved in this process. We report that maspin acts in the early steps in the cell adhesion process. Addition of recombinant maspin rapidly increased M...
AIMS AND BACKGROUND To evaluate the clinical significance of maspin and Ki-67 expression in patients with newly diagnosed T1 bladder cancer. METHODS AND STUDY DESIGN Maspin and Ki-67 expression was investigated by immunohistochemistry from paraffin-embedded tissues of 68 patients undergoing transurethral resection for bladder cancer. Clinicopathological data were retrospectively reviewed from...
The thrombin receptor protease activated receptor-1 (PAR-1) is overexpressed in metastatic melanoma cell lines and tumor specimens. Previously, we demonstrated a significant reduction in tumor growth and experimental lung metastasis after PAR-1 silencing via systemic delivery of siRNA encapsulated into nanoliposomes. Gene expression profiling identified a 40-fold increase in expression of Maspi...
Maspin, a member of the serpin superfamily of serine protease inhibitors, has been reported to be involved in cancer initiation and progression. However, the expression of maspin and its expression regulation in glioma remain unknown. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the function of maspin in glioma cells and its regulatory mechanism. We found that the expression of maspin was sile...
Maspin is a unique serine proteinase inhibitor that has tumor suppressor activity. It has been reported that maspin is expressed in normal human mammary epithelial cells and it is down-regulated during the progression of cancer. However, to date, there is very limited data on the clinical significance of maspin expression in human breast cancer. In this study, maspin expression was assessed imm...
The tumor suppressor gene maspin, a unique member of the serpin superfamily, inhibits cell motility, invasion, and metastasis in breast and prostate cancers. Maspin is expressed in normal human mammary and prostate epithelial cells but down-regulated during cancer progression. In this study, we analyzed the expression of maspin in various human cancer cells by means of Northern blot and immunoh...
