In this study the relationship between tissue-type transglutaminase (TGase2) activity and the propensity to metastasize was investigated in human melanoma cell lines with different metastatic behavior. TGase2 catalyzes an acyl-transfer reaction between peptide-bound glutamine residues and primary am
Expression of nma, a novel gene, inversely correlates with the metastatic potential of human melanoma cell lines and xenografts

nma, a novel gene, was isolated by using a subtractive hybridization technique in which the gene expression was compared in a panel of human melanoma cell lines with different metastatic potential. nma mRNA expression (I .5 kb) is whom correspondence and reprint requests should he sent, at

Thrombospondin (TSP) is a member of a family of extracellular matrix glycoproteins that may participate in multiple aspects of the metastatic cascade. We report an inverse correlation of steady-state Thbs-I mRNA and protein expression with malignant progression among murine melanoma and human lung a
## Abstract The tumor microenvironment is thought to play an important role in invasion and metastasis. Previously, we have shown that signaling from melanoma cells can alter the gene expression profiles of fibroblasts __in vitro__ and __in vivo__. To investigate whether the capacity to signal fibr
Epithelioid sarcoma (ES) is a very aggressive soft-tissue tumor in vivo, but no experimental data on its invasive and metastatic behavior have been reported. In the present study, 3 different clonal sub-populations (GRU-1A, GRU-1B and GRU-1C), derived from the same human ES cell line, GRU-1, were in
While human malignant mesothelioma is extremely resistant to chemotherapy, its intrinsic resistance mechanisms remain largely unknown. In this study, we used normal human mesothelial cells and 5 human mesothelioma cell lines not previously exposed to chemotherapeutic agents to demonstrate that the m
