Abstract

Human osteosarcoma 143B cells were previously stably transfected with an αv integrin green flourescent protein (GFP) vector. 143B cells expressing αv integrin-GFP were transplanted orthotopically in the tibia of transgenic nude mice ubiquitously expressing red fluorescent protein (RFP). The primary tumors acquired RFP-expressing stroma and were passaged orthotopically in the tibia in noncolored nude mice, which maintained the RFP stroma. The interaction of αv integrin-GFP expression in 143B cells with RFP-expressing host stromal cells was observed by confocal microscopy using the Olympus FV1000. Collagen fibers were imaged simultaneously in reflectance mode. The RFP-expressing stroma included cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) which persisted even 3 weeks after passage to nontransgenic nude mice. CAFs expressing RFP were aligned between collagen fibers and cancer cells expressing αv integrin-GFP. Six weeks after transplantation, pulmonary metastases expressing αv integrin-GFP could be identified. TAMs expressing RFP accompanied metastasized osteosarcoma cells expressing αv integrin-GFP in the lung. The current study demonstrates the importance of αv integrin interaction with stromal ele...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.
