Abstract

Neuropilin 1 (NRP1) is a transmembrane glycoprotein, which regulates many aspects of cellular function by functioning as co-receptor of various ligands. Recent studies have suggested that NRP1 promotes tumorigenesis, not only by activating the growth of tumor vessels, but also by activating the growth or migration of tumor cells themselves. The present study was performed to elucidate the roles of NRP1 in the development and/or progression of neuroblastoma (NB). In contrast to previous observations in various types of cancer, the analysis of public datasets indicated that lower levels of NRP1 expression were significantly associated with a shorter survival period of patients with NB. Consistent with this finding, wound-healing assay and Matrigel invasion assay revealed that NB cells in which NRP1 was knocked down exhibited increased migratory and invasive abilities. Further analyses indicated that β1 integrin expression was markedly increased in NB cells in which NRP1 was knocked down, and NB cells in which β1 integrin was knocked down exhibited decreased migratory and invasive abilities. The results presented herein indicate that NRP1 exerts tumor suppressive effects in NB, at least in part by regulating the expression of β1 i...Continue Reading

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.

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.

Cell Migration in Cancer and Metastasis

Migration of cancer cells into surrounding tissue and the vasculature is an initial step in tumor metastasis. Discover the latest research on cell migration in cancer and metastasis here.
