Abstract

Anchorage-independence is a hallmark of invasive cancer. The setback of the classical poly-HEMA static matrix detachment (SMD) anoikis model is the absence of dynamic fluid circulation, resulting in cell aggregates. We addressed this problem by developing a novel 3D cell culture dynamic matrix detachment (DMD) model with a turbulent-free laminar flow, yielding a very low shear stress. In this study, we focused on melanoma cells where apoptosis was evaluated both via annexin V flow cytometry and caspase cleavage. The DMD model was superior to SMD in the induction of melanoma cell death and in revealing a shift from apoptosis to necrotic cell death, as evident by failure to activate caspase 9 and a decrease in annexin V stain. Combination of DMD with cisplatin could further accentuate necrotic cell death in cisplatin-resistant melanoma cells. Thus, the DMD model may be a useful matrix deprivation model to identify necrotic vs. apoptotic cell death pathways.

Basement Membranes

Basement membranes are thin, specialized extracellular matrices surrounding most tissues in all metazoans. Here is the latest research on basement membranes.

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. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.

Apoptotic Caspases

Apoptotic caspases belong to the protease enzyme family and are known to play an essential role in inflammation and programmed cell death. Here is the latest research.

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
