Tenascin-C induced signaling in cancer

Cancer Letters
Gertraud Orend, Ruth Chiquet-Ehrismann

Abstract

Tenascin-C is an adhesion modulatory extracellular matrix molecule that is highly expressed in the microenvironment of most solid tumors. High tenascin-C expression reduces the prognosis of disease-free survival in patients with some cancers. The possible role of tenascin-C in tumor initiation and progression is addressed with emphasis on underlying signaling mechanisms. How tenascin-C affects malignant transformation, uncontrolled proliferation, angiogenesis, metastasis and escape from tumor immunosurveillance is summarized. Finally, we discuss how the phenotypes of tenascin-C knock-out mice may help define the roles of tenascin-C in tumorigenesis and how this knowledge could be applied to cancer therapy.

Cadherins and Catenins

Cadherins (named for "calcium-dependent adhesion") are a type of cell adhesion molecule (CAM) that is important in the formation of adherens junctions to bind cells with each other. Catenins are a family of proteins found in complexes with cadherin cell adhesion molecules of animal cells: alpha-catenin can bind to β-catenin and can also bind actin. β-catenin binds the cytoplasmic domain of some cadherins. Discover the latest research on cadherins and catenins 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.

Cancer Stem Cells in Glioblastoma

Glioblastoma is the most common and aggressive type of brain tumor. It contains a population of tumor initiating stem cell-like cells known as cancer stem cells.
