[Cell adhesion molecules and their participation in the process of inflammation and cancerogenesis].
Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) determine the integral part of protein of cell membranes. CAMs mediate in the reception and the transformation of the information from the external environment. Then CAMs mediate in the transfer of the information in the from of the signal to each fine structure. The inflammation process, in which the whole family of cell adhesion molecules takes place, is a state which leads to cancer or tumor metastasis. We observe in the cancerogenesis process a disturbance of the cell adhesion and proliferation, as well as scaled-down integrality between cell and intercellular matrix. CAMs function suggests that they play a very important role in inflammation the neoplasia process. It use can be found in the early pathogenesis cancer disease.
