| Abstract | Ectopic expression of MCAM/MUC18, a cell adhesion molecule in the immunoglobulin-like gene superfamily, induces two moMCAM/MUC18-minus, non-metastatic mouse melanoma K1735 sublines, K3 (tumor+/metlow) and K10 (tumor−/metlow), to metastasize to lungs in a syngeneic C3H mouse model. In this report, we extended investigation of effects of moMCAM/MUC18 expression on tumorigenesis and metastasis in another lowly metastatic, however highly tumorigenic moMCAM/MUC18-minus mouse melanoma K1735 subline, K9 (tumor+++/metlow). We transfected this subline with the moMCAM/MUC18 cDNA, selected for G418-resistant clones with different expression levels of moMCAM/MUC18, and used them for testing effects of MCAM/MUC18 expression on in vitro growth rate, motility, and invasiveness, in vivo subcutaneous tumor growth, and pulmonary metastasis in syngeneic C3H brown mice. Similar to K3 and K10 cells, increased expression of MCAM/MUC18 in K9 cells did not significantly affect in vitro growth rate, but increased in vitro motility and invasiveness. Surprisingly, increased expression of MCAM/MUC18 in K9 cells decreased their induction of tumorigenesis and suppressed their establishment of pulmonary nodules in syngeneic C3H brown mice. We concluded that increased MCAM/MUC18 expression in K9 subline increased in vitro epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition; however, it suppressed in vivo tumorigenicity and metastasis. Thus MCAM/MUC18 acts as a tumor and metastasis suppressor for the K9 subline, different from its role in other K1735 sublines, K3 and K10. Different intrinsic co-factors in different K1735 sublines, which modulate the functions of MCAM/MUC18 in the cells that interact differently to the tumor microenvironment, may render sublines manifest differently in tumorigenicity and metastasis in vivo. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
