Cellular prion protein promotes invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer

Abstract: Cellular prion protein (PrPc) is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) -anchored membrane protein that is highly conserved in mammalian species. PrPc has the characteristics of adhesive molecules and is thought to play a role in cell adhesion and membrane signaling. Here we investigated the possible role of PrPc in the process of invasiveness and metastasis in gastric cancers. PrPc was found to be highly expressed in metastatic gastric cancers compared to nonmetastatic ones by immunohistochemical staining. PrPc… Show more

“…A positive correlation between PrP C expression and tumor progression was found in a series of gastric tumor samples, 19,20 where overexpression of PrP C increased tumor cell proliferation through the PI3K/AKT/ Cyclin D1 signaling pathways. 23 Similarly in glioblastomas, STI1 binding to PrP C was shown to induce cell proliferation.…”

“…18 PrP C overexpression in gastric tumor cell lines has also been associated with increased expression of Bcl-2, and decreased expression of p53 and Bax, indicating a possible increase in resistance to programmed cell death. [18][19][20] In the absence of PrP C expression, resistance to TRAIL-induced apoptosis was inhibited in breast adriamycinresistant carcinoma cells. 21 In addition, breast tumor lacking estrogen receptor and PrP C expression show a high sensitivity to adjuvant chemotherapy.…”

“…Prion replication occurs in lymphoid tissues after peripheral infection, a process that is at least partly dependent on lymphoid PrP C expression (4). There is a need to refine understanding of PrP C function and the mechanisms regulating PrP C expression, as PrP C levels can be correlated with prion disease susceptibility (5,6) as well as with other pathological features, such as neoplastic transformation (7). Furthermore, therapeutic strategies in prion disease may involve targeting or silencing of PrP, with the accompanying potential for inadvertent modulation of immune function.…”

“…Çeşitli tip kanserlerde PrP C 'nin aşırı ekspresyonu hızlı hücre proliferasyonu, sınırsız replikatif potansiyel, apoptosizin inhibisyonu, doku invazyonu ve metastaz gibi bazı kanser belirleyicileri ile ilişkilidir [49]. Örneğin, aşırı PrP C ekspresyonu gastrik kanser hücre hatlarında Akt yolağının aktivasyonuna, hücrelerin adesif, invaziv ve metastatik özellik kazanmasına ve Akt aktivasyonuyla MAP-kinaz ERK1/2 fosforilasyonu üzerinden tümör invazyonu ve metastazı için önemli bir adım olan ekstrasellüler matriks yıkımından sorumlu matriksmetaloproteinaz 11'in artışına neden olur [78,83,84]. 3.…”
