title: [Modulation of integrin alpha-v-beta-1 expression on human tumor cells by leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and oncostatin M (OSM)].
abstract: Integrins belong to a large family of heterodimeric membrane glycoproteins which mediate cell-cell or cell-extracellular matrix interactions. These interactions could play a major role during the migration of tumor cells across the extracellular matrix and vascular endothelium and would thus appear to be a requisite for the metastatic process. Treatment of the Foss human melanoma cell line with LIF or OSM, two cytokines involved in acute-phase response, increased the expression of membrane alpha v beta 1 by 1.5-2 fold. The same phenomenon was observed on the SK-N-SH human neuroblastoma cell line. This modulation, which was inhibited by specific monoclonal antibodies against alpha v or beta 1 integrin subunits, was concomitant with improved tumor cell attachment to the fibronectin matrix. Similar results were obtained after TNF-alpha treatment. Our findings demonstrate the ability of LIF and OSM to modulate tumor cell capacity to adhere to the matrix component, suggesting a potential role for these cytokines in modulation of tumoral progression.
