摘要:: Adhesion molecules, a family of cell-surface molecules, are likely to be of central importance in mediating cell-extracellular matrix and specific cell-cell interactions within both neoplastic and inflammatory sites. The recently discovered expression of adhesion molecules on glioma cells, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, and endothelial cells within the tumor offers insight into the molecular basis of the interactions both between the glioma cell and surrounding heterologous cell types within the tumor environment, and between the tumor cell and the extracellular matrix. Such interactions suggest that these molecules may play roles in the homing of immune cells to these tumors and in regulating the extent of local tumor invasion. The ability to modulate adhesion molecule expression on either immune cells or their respective ligands on gliomas provides an approach to modify cell-cell interactions that may be used to increase tumor kill by the immune system. A similar approach in the modulation of adhesion molecules involved in tumor cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix or endothelial cells may be a method to limit local invasion in these lesions.
