Abstract

Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta), a multifunctional cytokine, exerts contradictory roles in different kinds of cells. A number of studies have revealed its involvement in the progression of many types of tumors. To investigate the effect of TGF-beta on gastric carcinoma, SGC7901, BGC823 and MKN28 (a TGF-beta-resistant cell line) adenocarcinoma clones were used. After pretreatment in serum-free medium with or without 10 ng/ml TGF-beta1, their experimental metastatic potential, chemotaxis, and invasive and adhesive ability were measured. Furthermore, zymography for gelatinase was processed. Liver colonies were also measured 4 weeks after inoculation of SGC7901, BGC823 and MKN28 in Balb/c nude mice, and an increase in the number of surface liver metastases was seen in SGC7901 (from 11.0+/-3.0 to 53.3+/-3.3) and BGC823 (from 9.3+/-2.5 to 60.0+/-2.8) groups, whereas there was no difference between MKN28 groups (from 35.2+/-3.8 to 38.5+/-2.7). In vitro experiments showed that TGF-beta1 increased the adhesion capacity of SGC7901 and BGC823 cells to immobilized reconstituted basement membrane/fibronectin matrices and promoted their penetration through reconstituted basement membrane barriers. Zymography demonstrated that enha...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. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.

Basement Membranes

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