Tumor invasion and host extracellular matrix.

B U Pauli, D E Schwartz, E J Thonar

    Cancer Metastasis Reviews
    |January 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Tumor invasion involves cells detaching, degrading the extracellular matrix with enzymes, and migrating through host tissues. Host cells and matrix components influence this complex pathological process.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Cell Biology
    • Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Tumor invasion is a critical step in cancer metastasis.
    • It involves complex interactions between malignant cells and the host microenvironment.
    • Understanding invasion mechanisms is key to developing anti-cancer therapies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the major mechanistic pathways of tumor cell invasion.
    • To elucidate the sequence of events involved in tissue invasion.
    • To highlight the role of extracellular matrix degradation and cell migration.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on tumor invasion mechanisms.
    • Analysis of cellular and molecular events during invasion.
    • Identification of key enzymes and molecules involved in matrix remodeling.

    Main Results:

    • Tumor cell shedding involves loss of intercellular junctions and altered cell surface properties.
    • Proteolytic enzymes like collagenases and cathepsins degrade the extracellular matrix.
    • Tumor cells migrate along host structures and matrix tracks, influenced by glycosaminoglycans and host cells.

    Conclusions:

    • Tumor invasion is a multi-step process initiated by cell detachment and matrix degradation.
    • Enzymatic activity and cell migration are crucial for breaching tissue barriers.
    • Host cells and matrix components play significant roles in facilitating tumor cell invasion.
