Understanding cancer metastasis: an urgent need for using differential gene expression analysis

Cancer
Murali D Bashyam

Abstract

Cancer is a multistep process and occurs as a result of the loss of control of cell division, leading to the initial tumor formation, which is followed by metastatic spread. Recent years have witnessed a vast improvement in the understanding of the molecular mechanisms regulating cell division and their links to tumorigenesis. The process of metastasis involves an intricate interplay between cell adhesion, proteolysis, migration, and angiogenesis. However, there is little knowledge of how these events are coordinately regulated in the tumor cell. Given that the uncontrolled spread of the tumor to distant organs is usually lethal, a study of the molecular mechanisms regulating metastasis assumes great significance. Recently, several technologies have been developed for analyzing differential gene expression. The current review discusses the importance of these technologies in the molecular analyses of metastasis.

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.
