Abstract

Intraperitoneal tumor cell adhesion to extracellular matrix and to mesothelial cells mediated by integrins is an important step in developing peritoneal carcinosis. In former animal studies, we could demonstrate that intraperitoneal treatment with a new phospholipid (PL) emulsion significantly reduces the amount of peritoneal carcinosis by adhesion prevention. This in vitro study tries to elucidate the influence of phospholipids on cells of the human gastric cancer cell line (NUGC-4) and the human rectal cancer cell line (HRT-18) adhering to mesothelial cells (HOMC) in a monolayer culture in vitro. HOMC cells were derived from omentum majus from patients undergoing elective abdominal surgery. Three passages of both cancer cell lines (NUGC-4 and HRT-18) were used. 1x10(5)/100 microl (HRT-18) or 1.2x10(5)/100 microl (NUGC-4) cells, according to forgoing dilution series, were pretreated with different concentrations of phospholipid emulsion (0.05, 0.1, 0.5, 0.75, 1% PL) stained with cell tracker chloromethyl-benzamidodialkylcarbocyanine (CM-DIL) and seeded into each well on the mesothelial monolayer. After 90 min, the number of adherent cells was counted by fluorescence microscopy at 530 and 620 nm. Additionally, flow cytometric a...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.
