The disintegrin contortrostatin in combination with docetaxel is a potent inhibitor of prostate cancer in vitro and in vivo

The Prostate

Abstract

There are few available treatments for hormone refractory prostate cancer. Through the inhibition of integrins, contortrostatin (CN) effects tumor cell growth directly as well as through the inhibition of angiogenesis. The effect of CN in combination with docetaxel on prostate cancer cell lines in vitro and in vivo is evaluated in the present study. FACS analysis of integrin expression, assessment of CN and docetaxel exposure on viability of plated cancer cells, and scratch test migration analysis were performed on PC-3 prostate cancer cells. CN and docetaxel inhibition of both PC-3 and CWR-22 prostate cancer cell lines were evaluated in a mouse xenograft bone model. Angiogenic activity in tumors were assessed using IHC with antibodies to CD31. Cell culture experiments indicate that the combination of docetaxel and CN inhibits growth in an additive fashion. FACS analysis of PC-3 cells shows expression of alpha5beta1 and alphavbeta5 integrins, but little expression of the alphavbeta3. CN showed complete inhibition of PC-3 migration in cultures grown on matrigel plates. In mice xenograft bone models, CN with docetaxel showed increased inhibition of both PC-3 and CWR-22 derived tumors. Analysis of treated xenograft tumors showed s...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. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
