mTORC1 inhibition and ECM-cell adhesion-independent drug resistance via PI3K-AKT and PI3K-RAS-MAPK feedback loops.
Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) serine threonine kinase is the enzyme that regulates cancer cell growth by altering nutrient supplies to cancer cells. The neuropeptide (proline-rich peptide 1 (PRP-1)), galarmin, produced by the brain neurosecretory cells is a mTOR kinase inhibitor with powerful 80% antiproliferative cytostatic effect in a high-grade chondosarcoma and other mesenchymal tumors. However, the negative feedback loop of phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase-Protein kinase B (PKB), PI3K-AKT and PI3K-rat sarcoma (RAS)-mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation is well documented for mTOR inhibitors. This study explored the involvement of those loops in drug resistance after the treatment with mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) inhibitor, PRP-1. Multidrug resistance assay (MDR) demonstrated that this cytokine did not inhibit permeability glycoprotein-mediated MDR in chondrosarcoma. Phospho-MAPK array in human chondrosarcoma cell line treated with galarmin (10 μg/ml,) showed a strong upregulation of phosphorylated glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β) via activation of PI3K-AKT and MAPK feedback loops. Such GSK3β inactivation leads to β-catenin accumulation that entails drug resistance. The ability of cells to metastasize is reflected in their capacity to adhere to extracellular matrix and endothelium. Laminin cell adhesion assay demonstrated that PRP-1 in the same concentrations that inhibit mTOR kinase inhibited JJ012 chondrosarcoma cell adhesion. The neuropeptide did not have any effect on the expression of total focal adhesion kinase and its phosphorylated form. Thus, it was not accompanied by total HAT downregulation and total HDAC upregulation. Combinatorial treatments of PRP-1 with MAPK and PI3K/AKT inhibitors most probably will lead to full cytotoxicity overcoming drug resistance.

Analysis of the disintegrin-metalloproteinases family reveals ADAM29 and ADAM7 are often mutated in melanoma.
We performed a mutational analysis of the 19 disintegrin-metalloproteinases (ADAMs) genes in human cutaneous metastatic melanoma and identified eight to be somatically mutated in 79 samples, affecting 34% of the melanoma tumors analyzed. Functional analysis of the two frequently mutated ADAM genes, ADAM29 and ADAM7 demonstrated that the mutations affect adhesion of melanoma cells to specific extracellular matrix proteins and in some cases increase their migration ability. This suggests that mutated ADAM genes could play a role in melanoma progression.

Activin A regulates trophoblast cell adhesive properties: implications for implantation failure in women with endometriosis-associated infertility.
During implantation, the embryo adheres to the endometrium via cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) present on blastocyst trophectoderm and endometrial epithelial cells. CAMs, including integrins and extracellular matrix (ECM) ligands, are most likely regulated by hormones, cytokines and growth factors. We hypothesized first that activin A affects the adhesive properties of trophoblast cells and second that alterations in dimeric activin A levels in the uterine cavity could disrupt adhesion, thereby causing implantation failure.

Expression of matrix macromolecules and functional properties of breast cancer cells are modulated by the bisphosphonate zoledronic acid.
The extracellular matrix (ECM) components play key roles in the multistep process of cancer growth and progression. Preclinical and clinical data show that bisphosphonates (BPs) may exert direct or indirect antitumoral effects. Despite proven efficiency in cancer treatment, the mechanism by which BPs can interfere with cancer progression remains elusive.

α/β Integrin-mediated Cell Adhesion Array Combo Kit, fluorimetric
Differential gene expression profiling of primary cutaneous melanoma and sentinel lymph node metastases.
Limited understanding of molecular mechanisms of metastasis in melanoma contributes to the absence of effective treatments. Increased knowledge of alterations in genes that underpin critical molecular events that lead to metastasis is essential. We have investigated the gene expression profiles of primary melanomas and melanoma metastases in sentinel lymph nodes. A total of 19 samples (10 primary melanomas and 9 sentinel lymph node metastases) were evaluated. Melanoma cells were dissected from tissue blocks. Total mRNA was isolated, amplified, and labeled using an Ambion Recover All Total Nucleic Acid Isolation kit, Nu-GEN WT-Ovation formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded RNA Amplification System, and FL-Ovation cDNA Biotin Module V2, respectively. Samples were hybridized to the Affymetrix Gene Chip Human U133 Plus 2.0 Array. Data were analyzed using Partek Genomics Suite Version 6.4. Genes selected showed ≥2-fold difference in expression and Pless than 5.00E-2. Validation studies used standard immunohistochemical assays. Hierarchical clustering disclosed two distinct groups: 10 primary melanomas and 9 sentinel lymph node metastases. Gene expression analysis identified 576 genes that showed significant differential expression. Most differences reflected decreased gene expression in metastases relative to primaries. Reduced gene expression in primaries was less frequent and less dramatic. Genes significantly increased or decreased in sentinel lymph node metastases were active in cell adhesion/structural integrity, tumor suppression, cell cycle regulation, and apoptosis. Validation studies indicate that MAGEC1 (melanoma antigen family C1) and FCRL1 (Fc receptor-like 1) are involved in melanoma progression. There are striking differential gene expression patterns between primary and nodally metastatic melanomas. Similar findings were seen with autologous paired primary melanomas and sentinel lymph node metastases, supporting involvement of these gene alterations in evolution of metastases. With further study, it may be possible to determine the exact sequence of molecular events that underlie melanoma metastases.

Anti-Migration Inhibitory Factor Related Proteins 8 and 14 Antibody, clone AHN-17
Manipulating location, polarity, and outgrowth length of neuron-like pheochromocytoma (PC-12) cells on patterned organic electrode arrays.
In this manuscript, we describe a biocompatible organic electrode system, comprising poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) microelectrode arrays on indium tin oxide (ITO) glass, that can be used to regulate the neuron type, location, polarity, and outgrown length of neuron-like cells (PC-12). We fabricated a PEDOT microelectrode array with four different sizes (flat; 20, 50, and 100 ?m) through electrochemical polymerization. Extracellular matrix proteins absorbed well on these organic electrodes; cells absorbed selectively on the organic electrodes when we used polyethylene oxide/polypropylene oxide/polyethylene oxide triblock copolymers (PEO/PPO/PEO, Pluronic™ F108) as the anti-adhesive coating. In this system, the neurite polarities and neuron types could be manipulated by varying the width of the PEDOT microelectrode arrays. On the unpatterned PEDOT electrode, PC-12 cells were randomly polarized, with approximately 80% having multi-polar cell types. In contrast, when we cultured PC-12 cells on the 20 ?m wide PEDOT line array, the neurites aligned along the direction of the organic electrodes, with the percentage of uni- and bipolar PC-12 cells increasing to greater than 90%. The outgrowth of neurites on the microelectrodes was promoted by ~60% with an applied electrical stimulation. Therefore, these electroactive PEDOT microelectrode arrays have potential for use in tissue engineering related to the development and regeneration of mammalian nervous systems.

Actin Cytoskeleton / Focal Adhesion Staining Kit
Absence of ataxin-3 leads to cytoskeletal disorganization and increased cell death.
Ataxin-3 (ATXN3) is a widely expressed protein that binds to ubiquitylated proteins, has deubiquitylating activity in vitro and is thought to modulate substrate degradation through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Expansion of a polyglutamine tract in ATXN3 causes Machado-Joseph disease, a late-onset neurodegenerative disorder characterized by ubiquitin-positive aggregate formation and specific neuronal death. Although ATXN3 has been involved in transcriptional repression and in the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, its biological function is still unknown. In this work, we show that depletion of ATXN3 using small-interference RNA (siRNA) causes a prominent phenotype in both human and mouse cell lines. A mild increase in ubiquitylation occurs and cells exhibit ubiquitin-positive foci, which is consistent with ATXN3 putative function as a deubiquitylating enzyme. In addition, siATXN3-silenced cells exhibit marked morphological changes such as rounder shape and loss of adhesion protrusions. At a structural level, the microtubule, microfilament and intermediate filament networks are severely compromised and disorganized. This cytoskeletal phenotype is reversible and dependent on ATXN3 levels. Cell-extracellular matrix connection is also affected in ATXN3-depleted cells as talin expression is reduced in the focal adhesions and lower levels of alpha-1 integrin subunit are expressed at their surface. Although the cytoskeletal and adhesion problems do not originate any major change in the cell cycle of siATXN3-depleted cells, cell death is increased in siATXN3 cultures compared to controls. In summary, in this work we show that the absence of ATXN3 leads to an overt cytoskeletal/adhesion defect raising the possibility that this protein may play a role in the cytoskeleton.

α Integrin-mediated Cell Adhesion Array Kit, colorimetric
Development of micropost force sensor array with culture experiments for determination of cell traction forces.
Cell traction forces (CTFs) are critical for cell motility and cell shape maintenance. As such, they play a fundamental role in many biological processes such as angiogenesis, embryogenesis, inflammation, and wound healing. To determine CTFs at the sub-cellular level with high sensitivity, we have developed high density micropost force sensor array (MFSA), which consists of an array of vertically standing poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) microposts, 2 microm in diameter and 6 microm in height, with a center-to-center distance of 4 microm. In combination with new image analysis algorithms, the MFSA can achieve a spatial resolution of 40 nm and a force sensitivity of 0.5 nN. Culture experiments with various types of cells showed that this MFSA technology can effectively determine CTFs of cells with different sizes and traction force magnitudes.
