Abstract

β1 integrin-mediated migration plays a fundamental role in melanoma metastasis. Here, we evaluated the molecular mechanisms underlying the anti-metastatic capacity of a polysaccharide fraction (CLPS) from Codonopsis lanceolata. CLPS inhibited in vivo melanoma metastasis in a B16F10 pulmonary metastasis model, impaired β1 integrin-mediated B16F10 melanoma cell migration in vitro evaluated by Transwell assay, reduced affinity between β1 integrin and ligand protein GST-FNIII9-10. Also, CLPS attenuated the adhesion-dependent formation of focal adhesion and blocked β1 integrin/FAK/paxillin signaling axis. These findings illustrate a better understanding underlying the anti-metastatic activity of CLPS, indicating a potential treatment strategy for melanoma metastasis.

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.
