We investigated whether alterations in the mechanisms involved in intracellular pH (pH in ) and intracellular calcium ([Ca 2/ ] in ) homeostasis are associated with the metastatic potential of poorly (A375P) and highly (C8161) metastatic human melanoma cells. We monitored pH in and [Ca 2/ ] in simul

We have previously shown that 2 human melanoma cell lines, the metastatic HT-144 and the non-metastatic SK-Mel-2 cells, exhibit marked in vitro heterogeneity with respect to integrin expression, migration and invasion potential. Here, we provide evidence that HT-144 melanoma cells, but not SK-Mel-2
A weakly metastatic wheat-germ-agglutinin-resistant mutant Wa4-bI was previously shown to be less adherent to endothelial cell extracellular matrix than the more metastatic parental B-I6 melanoma cells. This report describes reduced adhesion and spreading of Wa4-bI cells on the cell-binding domain o
Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against human type-IV collagenase were developed and used for studies on enzyme activity and tumor-cell invasion in vitro. Fifteen MAb clones were generated against the enzyme purified from serum-free culture medium of human melanoma cells (A2058). Five clones affecting
