Attenuation of Melanoma Invasion by a Secreted Variant of Activated Leukocyte Cell Adhesion Molecule
15 May 2008
Abstract excerpt
Activated leukocyte cell adhesion molecule (ALCAM/CD166/MEMD), a marker of various cancers and mesenchymal stem cells, is involved in melanoma metastasis. We have exploited a secreted NH(2)-terminal fragment, sALCAM, to test the hypothesis that ALCAM coordinates tissue growth and cell migration. Overexpression of sALCAM in metastatic melanoma cells disturbed clustering of endogenous ALCAM and inhibited activation...
