“…This may reflect a comparatively low degree of tumour differentiation and is in keeping with the in-vitro study by Martinez-Alonso et al [1] who demonstrated a moderate antiproliferative effect of somatostatin analogues on melanoma cell lines at high concentrations only.…”

“…Melanoma cells are derived from the neural crest and therefore express SSTRs. Five subtypes of SSTR (SSTR1-SSTR5) have been described to date [1].…”

“…Indeed, it is very well known that this drug may have a capacity to control changes of some structural properties of the cells via secondary effects. In addition, the in vitro antiangiogenic effects of somatostatin and its analogues have been previously shown by studies on melanoma cells, which expressed one or more SSTR and were treated by using somatostatin or SSAs [20], [50].…”

“…Overall, the greater cellular uptake of the targeted micelles over the non-targeted ones indicated that the KE108-targeting ligand was effective at promoting SSTR-mediated endocytosis, while non-targeted micelles were taken up by the cells through non-specific endocytosis. Notably, besides NE cancers, these KE108-conjugated micelles can also be potentially effective drug delivery vehicles for several other types of cancers that overexpress SSTRs, including breast cancer [49] and melanoma [50]. …”
