摘要:: The precise function of cell adhesion molecules in the hematogenous phase of neuroblastoma metastasis is poorly understood. The aim of this study was to investigate whether neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) modulates neuroblastoma cell (NB) adhesion and transendothelial penetration in a coculture model. Our data, assessed on 11 NB cell lines, demonstrate an inverse correlation between NCAM expression and NB cell adhesion. Transfection of the NB cell line UKF-NB-4 with a cDNA encoding the human NCAM-140 kD isoform enhanced NCAM expression and the amount of tumor cell aggregates, reduced the amount of single tumor cells, and diminished initial NB cell adhesion to an endothelial cell monolayer. Treatment of UKF-NB-4 with NCAM antisense oligonucleotides reduced NCAM surface level, increased the number of single tumor cells, and induced up-regulation of NB cell adhesion to endothelium. Modulation of NCAM expression had no effect on transendothelial penetration. Fluorescence analysis revealed a down-regulation of NCAM in single tumor cells, prior to NB adhesion. The data support the view that low levels of NCAM are necessary for NB cells to leave a tumor cell aggregate and adhere to endothelial cells.
