Separation anxiety: detachment from the extracellular matrix induces metabolic changes that can stimulate tumorigenesis.

چکیده
One of the earliest stages of tumor progression involves the ability of cells to survive and proliferate when not attached to the extracellular matrix (ECM). New research using a physiologically relevant breast cancer model reveals how separation from the ECM stimulates metabolic changes characteristic of developing tumors.

Serum withdrawal-induced apoptosis in thyroid cells is caused by loss of fibronectin-integrin interaction.
In some cell types, including a fetal thyroid cell line, denial of adhesion to extracellular matrix induces a type of apoptosis called anoikis. Serum withdrawal in dog and transformed rat thyroid cells also induces programmed cell death. Because serum can stimulate cells to produce some components of the extracellular matrix, it was of interest to determine the role of the matrix in the apoptos...

متن کاملMolecular targets of pomegranate (Punica granatum) in preventing cancer metastasis
Metastasis is the primary cause of mortality and morbidity among cancer patients and accounts for about 90% of cancer deaths. The most common types of treatment for cancer metastasis are chemotherapy and radiotherapy. However, such therapy has many serious side effects that could diminish the quality of life in patients. There is increased appreciation by the scientific community that natural c...
متن کاملAntioxidant enzymes mediate survival of breast cancer cells deprived of extracellular matrix.
Metastasis by cancer cells relies upon the acquisition of the ability to evade anoikis, a cell death process elicited by detachment from extracellular matrix (ECM). The molecular mechanisms that ECM-detached cancer cells use to survive are not understood. Striking increases in reactive oxygen species (ROS) occur in ECM-detached mammary epithelial cells, threatening cell viability by inhibiting ...
متن کاملAdhesion of T and B lymphocytes to extracellular matrix and endothelial cells can be regulated through the beta subunit of VLA
Investigating the regulation of very late antigen (VLA)-mediated functions, we found that TS2/16, a mAb directed against the beta chain of the VLA group of integrins, can induce binding of resting peripheral blood lymphocytes, cloned T lymphocytes, and Epstein Barr virus-transformed B cells to extracellular matrix components, fibronectin, laminin, and collagen, but not to fibrinogen. The antibo...
