The KAI1/CD82 protein has been documented as the tumor metastasis suppressor in many types of human cancers. KAI1/CD82 regulates cell motility and invasiveness; however, the mechanism by which this occurs remains to be fully established. Several studies have shown that KAI1/CD82 modulates integrin-dependent signaling. It was suggested that KAI1/CD82 might function to attenuate the beta1 integrin function of inducing cellular migration. A wound-healing and modified Boyden chamber assays were performed to investigate the mechanism of the KAI1/CD82-mediated inhibition of cell migration. It was found that the migratory ability of H1299/CD82 was inhibited. The immunoblotting and biotinylation assays revealed that H1299/CD82 showed significantly decreased expression of the mature form of beta1, which was functional at the cell surface. It was confirmed that KAI1/CD82 regulates the maturation of the beta1 integrin using CD82-specific si-RNA. These results support a model in which KAI1/CD82 attenuates the maturation of the beta1 integrin precursor and thereby suppresses cell migration.

High matrix stiffness accelerates migration of hepatocellular carcinoma cells through the integrin β1-Plectin-F-actin axis.

Background: Abundant research indicates that increased extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffness significantly enhances the malignant characteristics of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. Plectin, an essential cytoskeletal linker protein, has recently emerged as a promoter of cancer progression, particularly in the context of cancer cell invasion and metastasis. However, the responsiveness of plectin to changes in ECM stiffness and its impact on HCC progression remain unclear.

However, the cellular mechanics underlying Piezo localization and function remains poorly characterized. We show that the RNA repair/splicing enzyme Rtca acts upstream of Piezo to modulate its expression and transport/targeting to the plasma membrane via Rab10 GTPase, whose expression also relies on Rtca.

Background: Breast cancer (BC) is the most prevalent solid cancer affecting women's health globally. Matrine (MAT), a traditional Chinese herb, has exhibited antitumor effects against BC. However, its mechanism of action, particularly whether it involves the control of cell proliferation and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), remains unknown.

Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is often characterized by indolent behavior, small tumors with slow cell proliferation and a tendency to metastasize to cervical lymph node simultaneously, and the molecular mechanisms underlying that remain poorly understood. In this study, FN1 was the hottest gene of PTC and distinctive expression in PTC cells. FN1 deficiency severely inhibited the p53 signaling pathway, especially cyclin proteins, resulting in increased cell growth but hampered invasion.

We performed a systems vaccinology analysis to investigate immune responses in humans to an H5N1 influenza vaccine, with and without the AS03 adjuvant, to identify factors influencing antibody response magnitude and durability. Our findings revealed a platelet and adhesion-related blood transcriptional signature on day 7 that predicted the longevity of the antibody response, suggesting a potential role for platelets in modulating antibody response durability. As platelets originate from megakaryocytes, we explored the effect of thrombopoietin (TPO)-mediated megakaryocyte activation on antibody response longevity.
