Abstract

Chemical transformation of the SV-40 immortalized bronchial epithelial cell line BEAS2-B induces alterations in molecules involved in cell cycle control, including up-regulation of EGFR and cyclin E [Oncogene 13 (1996) 1983; Clin Cancer Res 8 (2002) 54]. The finding that these changes also occur in vivo, in both pre-invasive and invasive lung cancer [Cancer Res 55 (1995) 1365; Cancer Res 59 (1999) 2470], proves this to be a suitable model to study lung carcinogenesis. The current study tested the hypothesis that chemical treatment of BEAS2-B with Cigarette Smoke Condensate (CSC) may affect levels of gene products involved in cell adhesion and tissue remodeling. To this end, we studied the extent of changes in osteonectin (ON) protein levels induced in BEAS 2 B-cells by CSC treatment and its timing to changes occurring in the anchorage independent cloning efficiency. ON, a multimodular protein component of the extra-cellular matrix, has been implicated in tissue remodeling occurring in neoplastic and non-neoplastic conditions, but its role in lung carcinogenesis is incompletely characterized. To validate the in vitro findings, as in our previous reports, we studied resected lung tissue, to assess whether ON expression in neoplas...Continue Reading

Carcinosarcoma

Carcinosarcoma is a malignant neoplasm that contains elements of carcinoma and sarcoma so extensively intermixed as to indicate neoplasia of epithelial and mesenchymal tissue. Discover the latest research on carcinosarcoma here.

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.
