ANTI-ADHESION Evolves To a Promising Therapeutic Concept in Oncology

Abstract: Adhesion is a hallmark of haematological and solid cancer cells. All five classes of cell adhesion molecules (CAM) - integrins, cadherins, immunoglobulin-like CAMs, selectins and CD44s - are characteristically dysregulated in human cancer. Adhesion enables and promotes cancer-defining biological processes like growth, survival, migration, extravasation, homing, and metastasis. Furthermore, cell adhesion mediates drug resistance (CAM-DR) in multiple myeloma, malignant lymphoma, acute and chronic leukaemias, as … Show more

“…This resulted in 20 M test compounds (6.7 M final in 15 l). Compounds were added to 320 wells (columns [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. Column 2 was used for the negative control (no VLA-4 ligand added).…”

“…It participates in antigen presenting cell-lymphocyte interactions, retention and mobilization of immature progenitors in the bone marrow (1,2), cancer cell trafficking, metastasis, and other events (3,4). Integrins represent an attractive target for several existing drugs for treatment of inflammatory diseases, anti-angiogenic therapy, and anti-thrombotic therapy (5)(6)(7). Integrin ligands can also be used as imaging tools, as well as probes for studies of integrin functional activity and molecular conformation (8,9).…”

“…In addition, the enhanced expression of VLA-4 on melanomas correlates with poor clinical outcome [16][17][18]. A lot of efforts have been invested into inhibition of adhesion receptors of the selectin or integrin family and thereby intervention in metastasis [19].…”

“…NF-κB promotes growth, survival, and drug resistance in multiple myeloma cells (6). Moreover, NF-κB upregulates adhesion molecules and promotes cytokine secretion in both multiple myeloma cells and bone marrow stromal cells, thus contributing to cell adhesion-mediated drug resistance (7)(8)(9). Accordingly, inhibitors of IKKβ inhibit multiple myeloma cell growth (10)(11)(12) and first NF-κB inhibitors have been shown to induce apoptosis in multiple myeloma cells (6,13).…”
