Fetuin‐A (alpha 2HS glycoprotein) modulates growth, motility, invasion, and senescence in high‐grade astrocytomas

Abstract: Glioblastomas (high‐grade astrocytomas) are highly aggressive brain tumors with poor prognosis and limited treatment options. In the present studies, we have defined the role of fetuin‐A, a liver‐derived multifunctional serum protein, in the growth of an established glioblastoma cell line, LN229. We hereby demonstrate that these cells synthesize ectopic fetuin‐A which supports their growth in culture in the absence of serum. We have demonstrated that a panel of tissue microarray (TMA) of glioblastomas also exp… Show more

“…Fetuin-A affects insulin resistance, which is associated with increased risk of cancer. The progression of several cancers, such as pancreatic cancer,43 prostate cancer,23 and glioblastoma multiforme,44 is driven by synthesis of ectopic fetuin-A. Research has shown that a higher level of fetuin-A is associated with a modestly higher risk of colorectal cancer 45.…”

“…The rapid uptake of fetuin-A by adherent tumor cells is necessary for their growth and survival. Reduced levels or absence of fetuin-A in the growth media or tumor microenvironment results in slow and poor growth of tumor cells in vitro and in vivo [3,4,11]. Fetuin-A mediates optimal cellular adhesion and spreading on various substrata not only in vitro but also in vivo, thereby promoting anchorage-dependent cellular proliferation.…”

“…As noted, nearly all the circulating fetuin‐A in CPP is in the phosphorylated state . Apart from its major role, fetuin‐A can also function as an oncogenic protein by promoting cell growth, adhesion, motility, and invasion of cancer cells . More recently, a number of studies have demonstrated that fetuin‐A is involved in the biogenesis of tumor exosome by accelerating the secretion of exosomes.…”
