摘要: Glioma is a highly complex brain tumor characterized by the dysregulation of proteins and genes that leads to metastasis. Cathepsin B uPAR are overexpressed in gliomas they postulated play central roles glioma In this study, efficient downregulation cathepsin siRNA treatments significantly reduced cell adhesion laminin as compared vitronectin, fibronectin, or collagen I U251 4910 lines. Brain tissue array analysis showed high expression CD151 clinical samples when with normal tissue. treatment led laminin-binding integrins α3 β1. Co-immunoprecipitation experiments revealed decreased interaction B, α3β1 integrin. Studies on downstream signaling cascade uPAR/CD151/α3β1 integrin have shown phosphorylation FAK, SRC, paxillin, adaptor cytoskeletal talin vinculin were knockdown uPAR, CD151. Treatment bicistronic construct interactions between well lowering integrin, talin, levels pre-established tumors nude mice. conclusion, our results show alone combination inhibit downregulating its associated molecules vitro vivo. Taken together, present study targeting uPAR-cathepsin system has possible therapeutic potential.
