Involvement of ROS-alpha v beta 3 integrin-FAK/Pyk2 in the inhibitory effect of melatonin on U251 glioma cell migration and invasion under hypoxia

Abstract: BackgroundMelatonin, a well-known antioxidant, has been shown to possess anti-invasive properties for glioma. However, little is known about the effect of melatonin on glioma cell migration and invasion under hypoxia, which is a crucial microenvironment for tumor progress. In addition, focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and proline-rich tyrosine kinase 2 (Pyk2) are closely associated with cell migration and invasion. Therefore, we investigated the possible role of these kinases and its related signaling in the regula… Show more

“…Glioblastoma has strong activity of migration and invasion [2], which is associated to low oxygen condition of tumor microenvironment [4][5][6]. Thus it's essential to find a way to block hypoxia-induced migration and invasion.…”

“…This aggressive phenotype is possibly relevant to hypoxia, which is one of the most remarkably characteristics of glioma microenvironment and might play a crucial role in glioma growth, development, and angiogenesis [3]. It has been documented that hypoxia also induces migration and invasion of glioma cells [4][5][6], which involves a series of transduction pathways and signal molecules.…”

“…The complex interplay between solid tumors and host melatonergic microenvironment has been studied in several cancers. For example, melatonin contributes to the cross talk between cell‐cell and cell‐matrix adhesion by reducing the expression of α v β 3 integrin, which limits glioma cell migration into surrounding stroma . Additionally, melatonin participates in the reduction of surrounding fibroblasts and endothelial cells by downregulating antiadipogenic cytokine expression in breast cancer .…”
