Expression of cell adhesion molecules on ovarian tumour cell lines and mesothelial cells, in relation to ovarian cancer metastasis

Cancer Letters

Abstract

A major route for the spread of ovarian cancer is by the attachment of tumour cells to the mesothelium lining in the peritoneal cavity. The expression of various adhesion molecules has been measured on freshly-prepared mesothelial cells, two mesothelial cells lines and 13 established ovarian tumour cell lines. The integrins beta 1 and beta 3, ICAM-1, and CD44 were detected on all mesothelial preparations and on many or all of the tumour lines. VCAM-I was expressed exclusively on the mesothelial cells and Lewis x was expressed on half of the tumour lines. There was low or no expression of sialyl Le(x), sialyl Le(a), integrins alpha 4, beta 1, beta 4, or E and P selectins. Only CD44 expression was significantly affected by trypsin treatment. From the known interactions of adhesion molecules, the results suggest that CD44, and beta 1 and beta 3 integrins may be important in tumour/mesothelial interactions.

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.
