Abstract

We established a new cell line, HPC-3P4a, with high peritoneal disseminated potential in nude mice. HPC-3P4a was derived from a human pancreatic carcinoma cell line (HPC-3) that had low capacity for peritoneal dissemination. HPC-3P4a developed peritoneal dissemination in 10 of 11 (90.9%) cases, whereas parental HPC-3 developed peritoneal dissemination in one of six (16.7%) cases. The metastatic foci in the peritoneum showed essentially the same histologic appearance of parental involvement. The tumorigenicity, motility, and adhesive activity of HPC-3P4a to the extracellular matrix were stronger than were those of the HPC-3. In FACS analysis, HPC-3P4a significantly increased the expression of alpha6 and alpha(v)beta5 integrins, while it decreased alpha2 integrin, hCD44H, and hCD44v 10, as compared with HPC-3. The VEGF production of HPC-3P4a was significantly lower than that of HPC-3. Analysis of gene macroarrays showed a variety of cytokines, interleukin, and other immunomodulatory, and their receptors were up-regulated and down-regulated on an mRNA level in HPC-3P4a cells, compared with HPC-3 cells. Intrasplenic injection of HPC-3P4a produced no liver metastasis. We named our original highly liver metastatic cell line HPC-3H4 (...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
