Abstract:Tumour cell detachment from the primary tumour is an early and crucial step of the metastatic cascade. At the single cell level, it was already shown that migrating melanoma cells establish both intra‐ and extracellular pH gradients and that the Na+/H+ exchanger NHE1 accumulates at the leading edges to strengthen cell‐matrix interactions. However, less is known about the role of NHE1 in collective cell migration and the specific pH microenvironment at tumour cell–cell contacts. We used MV3 melanoma cells trans… Show more
