ADAM-9 is a novel mediator of tenascin-C-stimulated invasiveness of brain tumor–initiating cells
1 Feb 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Tenascin-C (TNC), an extracellular matrix protein overexpressed in malignant gliomas, stimulates invasion of conventional glioma cell lines (U251, U87). However, there is a dearth of such information on glioma stemlike cells. Here, we have addressed whether and how TNC may regulate the invasiveness of brain tumor-initiating cells (BTICs) that give rise to glioma progenies. METHODS: Transwell inserts...
