Proteolipid protein 2 is associated with melanoma metastasis

Abstract: Abstract. The metastasis of malignant tumor cells from the primary tumor to distant sites in the body is a complex process. To identify genes that may be essential for metastasis, we established poorly metastatic mouse melanoma cells, namely Y925F-mutated FAK-transfected cells (Y925F cells), from the highly metastatic mouse melanoma cell line B16F10, and performed expression analyses. The expression of phospholipid protein 2 (PLP2) was markedly down-regulated in the Y925F cells. To elucidate the function of PL… Show more

“…Experimentally passive models, which mimic the metastatic events after tumor cells enter the circulatory system by injecting tumor cells to tail veins, have been used to investigate the function of PLP2 in vivo, but the role of PLP2 in cancer cell detachment from the original site, such as adhesion to the ECM, digestion of the matrix and intravasation, has not been explored. A previous study indicated that PLP2 transfectants attach well to fibronectin, a common matrix of adhesion and migration assays (6). The present study reconfirmed those observations and showed that PLP2 or FAK miRNA may inhibit the adhesion, migration and invasion ability of B16BL6 cells in vitro.…”

“…Previous investigations have demonstrated that PLP2 associates with PI3K to activate Akt in B16F10 cells (6). Western blotting was performed for Akt phosphorylation to verify that the FAK-PI3K-Akt pathway was blocked due to suppression of PLP2 or FAK expression with the artificial miRNAs.…”

“…PLP2 encodes an integral membrane protein that localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum, which can multimerize and may function as an ion channel. PLP2 has been reported to be associated with melanoma metastasis [18]. PLP2 protein is necessary for downregulation of human CD99 protein in plasma membrane [19].…”

“…11) In brief, 96-well flat-bottomed plates (ECM205 CytoMatrix screen kit, Chemicon, Temecula, CA, U.S.A.) coated with FN were used according to the manufacturer's protocol. A dissociation buffer was used to detach the cells from the culture plates, which were seeded at a density of 1×10 4 cells/well in 100 µL of medium and incubated at 37°C for 1 h. To remove unbound cells, the assay plates were washed with PBS.…”
