  • And MMP-Mediated Cell–Matrix Interactions in the Tumor Microenvironment
    International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review Hold on or Cut? Integrin- and MMP-Mediated Cell–Matrix Interactions in the Tumor Microenvironment Stephan Niland and Johannes A. Eble * Institute of Physiological Chemistry and Pathobiochemistry, University of Münster, 48149 Münster, Germany; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The tumor microenvironment (TME) has become the focus of interest in cancer research and treatment. It includes the extracellular matrix (ECM) and ECM-modifying enzymes that are secreted by cancer and neighboring cells. The ECM serves both to anchor the tumor cells embedded in it and as a means of communication between the various cellular and non-cellular components of the TME. The cells of the TME modify their surrounding cancer-characteristic ECM. This in turn provides feedback to them via cellular receptors, thereby regulating, together with cytokines and exosomes, differentiation processes as well as tumor progression and spread. Matrix remodeling is accomplished by altering the repertoire of ECM components and by biophysical changes in stiffness and tension caused by ECM-crosslinking and ECM-degrading enzymes, in particular matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). These can degrade ECM barriers or, by partial proteolysis, release soluble ECM fragments called matrikines, which influence cells inside and outside the TME. This review examines the changes in the ECM of the TME and the interaction between cells and the ECM, with a particular focus on MMPs.

Apte Abstract ADAMTS (a disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin motifs) proteases comprise the most recently discovered branch of the extracellular metalloenzymes. Research during the last 15 years, uncovered their association with a variety of physiological and pathological processes including blood coagulation, tissue repair, fertility, arthritis and cancer. Importantly, a frequent feature of ADAMTS enzymes relates to their effects on vascular-related phenomena, including angiogenesis. Their specific roles in vascular biology have been clarified by information on their expression profiles and substrate specificity. Through their catalytic activity, ADAMTS proteases modify rather than degrade extracellular proteins. They predominantly target proteoglycans and glycoproteins abundant in the basement membrane, therefore their broad contributions to the vasculature should not come as a surprise.

For research use only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures. INTRODUCTION Aggrecan is the major proteoglycan in cartilage, and is degraded by ADAMTS5 in arthritic cartilage. Studies in models of cultured bovine and porcine chondrocytes and cartilage explants have reported that ADAMTS5 is not induced by stimulation with IL-1 and TNF α. It has also been shown that ADAMTS5 expression in human synoviocytes is not inhibited by the anti-TNF biologics. PRINCIPLE ADAMTS5 TEST Kit contains specific primers, probes and calibrator DNA for the detection and quantification of human ADAMTS5 mRNA in samples. The test is based on real-time PCR that, in addition to specific forward and reverse oligonucleotide primers, utilizes MGB (minor groove binder) probe to generate a fluorescent signal when specific cDNA is present in samples. Samples, such as whole blood, plasma, urine, and transplantation tissue can be used.

It was recently found that enhancement of chondroclasts and suppression in Treg cell diferentiation are involved in the pathogenesis of OA. Kartogenin (KGN) is a small drug-like molecule that induces chondrogenesis in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). This study aimed to identify whether KGN can enhance severe pain behavior and improve cartilage repair in OA rat model. Induction of OA model was loaded by IA-injection of MIA. In the OA rat model, treatment an intra-articular injection of KGN. Pain levels were evaluated by analyzing PWL and PWT response in animals. Histological analysis and micro-CT images of femurs were used to analyze cartilage destruction. Gene expression was measured by real-time PCR. Immunohistochemistry was analyzed to detect protein expression. KGN injection signifcantly decreased pain severity and joint destruction in the MIA-induced OA model. KGN also increased mRNA levels of the anti-infammatory cytokine IL-10 in OA patients’ chondrocytes stimulated by IL-1β. Decreased chondroclast expression, and increased Treg cell expression. KGN revealed therapeutic activity with the potential to reduce pain and improve cartilage destruction. Thus, KGN could be a therapeutic molecule for OA that inhibits cartilage damage.

  • ADAMTS4 Is Upregulated in Colorectal Cancer and Could Be a Useful Prognostic Indicator of Colorectal Cancer
    ADAMTS4 is upregulated in colorectal cancer and could be a useful prognostic indicator of colorectal cancer Xue-Qin Shang1,2 Kui-Liang Liu1 Qian Li1 Yue-Qiong Lao1 Nan-Shan Li1 Jing Wu1 1. Department of Gastroenterology, Beijing Shijitan Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, 100038, China. 2. The Second People’s Hospital of Yunnan Province, Oncology Department, Kunming, 650021, China. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1806-9282.66.1.42 SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: ADAMTS4 is a member of the ADAMTS4 family, which secretes proteinases. The mechanism of tumor metastasis may be correlated to its promotion of angiogenesis. It was determined whether ADAMTS4 participates in colorectal cancer progression. Methods: The expression in clinical samples and CRC cell lines was investigated. Using immunohistochemistry (IHC), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and RT-PCR, the expression of ADAMTS4 was determined in colorectal tumors of different cancer stages and anatomic sites, and in three cell lines of different aggressiveness. Results: The overexpression of ADAMTS4 was observed in tissue samples by IHC, and this was mainly located in the cytoplasm, as detected by FISH. The qRT-PCR and western blot analyses further supported the clinical sample findings. Conclusion: The present data support the notion that the overexpression of ADAMTS4 in CRC might be useful as a non-invasive biomarker for detecting CRC in patients. KEYWORDS: Neoplasms.
