The laminin tyrosine-isoleucine-glycine-serine-arginine (YIGSR) peptide, corresponding to the 929-933 sequence of beta1 chain, is known to inhibit tumor growth and metastasis. In the present study, we observed that YIGSR not only inhibited the growth and migration of prostate cancer cells in a dose-dependent manner but also decreased mitochondrial membrane potential, inhibited ATP synthesis and increased caspase-9 activity. Investigation into the interaction of YIGSR with 67LR, the receptor for laminin and polyphenol (-) epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) employing MVD (Molegro Virtual Docker, an integrated platform for predicting protein ligand interactions), revealed that the binding site of YIGSR was the same as that of EGCG that explains as to why YIGSR is able to inhibit the cytotoxicity of EGCG against PC-3 cells.

Currently, fluorescent imaging is one of the most promising diagnostic approaches for facile detection of cancers in situ in thanks to a fluorescent probe. Two novel polypeptide-based fluorescent probes for different biomarkers to cancers are reported here. These probes focused on tyrosine-isoleucine-glycine-serine-arginine (YIGSR) and arginine-glycine-aspartic (RGD), which receptors play an important role in the extracellular matrix and are overexpressed in tumor cells and then can be used as tumor-targeting groups in fluorescent imaging.

The dermal ECM is synthesized from fibroblasts and is primarily compromised of fibrillar collagen and elastic fibers, which support the mechanical strength and resiliency of skin, respectively. Laminin, a major glycoprotein located in the basement membrane, promotes cell adhesion, cell growth, differentiation, and migration. The laminin tyrosine-isoleucine-glycine-serine-arginine (YIGSR) peptide, corresponding to the 929-933 sequence of the β1 chain, is known to be a functional motif with effects on the inhibition of tumor metastasis, the regulation of sensory axonal response and the inhibition of angiogenesis through high affinity to the 67kDa laminin receptor.

Basement membrane has a variety of effects on tumor cells and promotes malignant behavior. Tumor cell growth is enhanced both in vitro and in vivo in mice in the presence of basement membrane. This has led to the ability to grow various tumors including human biopsy specimens in nude mice.
