| Abstract | β3 integrin expression is the hallmark of melanoma and may serve as a potential therapeutic target. While αvβ3 integrin expression seems to be constitutive in melanoma, ectopic expression of platelet-αIIbβ3 is dependent on progression. B16a murine melanoma is a suitable model for studies on αIIbβ3 treatment strategies since αvβ3 is not expressed in this cell line. Here we have used a ligand-mimetic anti-αIIbβ3 monoclonal antibody, PAC-1, to test the biological consequences of αIIbβ3 modulation in melanoma cells. We have previously reported that in B16a cells FAK is constitutively active and tyrosine-phosphorylated. Upon PAC-1 binding to the surface αIIbβ3, which is in the active conformation, FAK became dephosphorylated through a process of PKC-dependent phosphatase activation. Furthermore, PAC-1 binding to B16a cells induced a significant decrease in phosphotyrosine-positive melanoma cells within 30 min. Treatment of B16a cells in vitro with PAC-1 significantly inhibited proliferation by decreasing the mitotic index but not affecting apoptotic rate. Incubation of B16a cells with PAC-1 decreased their lung colonization potential, suggesting a profound alteration in their biological behavior under the effect of this antibody. These preclinical data suggest that the ectopic expression of αIIbβ3 in melanoma cells can be exploited as a novel target of antibody therapy of melanoma. |

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.
