Inhibition of motility and invasion of B16 melanoma by the overexpression of cystatin C

Melanoma Research
P S Sexton, J L Cox

Abstract

Although increased expression of cysteine proteinases has been shown to be correlated with increased metastasis for a wide variety of tumours, the contribution of cysteine proteinases to the metastatic spread of tumour cells is not well understood. In order to examine this question we have overexpressed a specific cysteine proteinase inhibitor, cystatin C, by stable transfection of B16F10 melanoma. Increased expression of cystatin C inhibited motility and in vitro invasiveness of B16 melanoma by 50% in both stimulated (autocrine motility factor, laminin) and unstimulated cells. These results suggest that cysteine proteinases are involved in B16 melanoma motility and invasion.

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.
