Axl contributes to efficient migration and invasion of melanoma cells
Axl, a member of the TAM receptor family has been broadly suggested to play a key role in tumor metastasis. However, the function of Axl in the invasion and metastasis of melanoma, the most lethal skin cancer, remains largely unknown. In the present study, we found that melanoma cell lines present v...

description | Axl, a member of the TAM receptor family has been broadly suggested to play a key role in tumor metastasis. However, the function of Axl in the invasion and metastasis of melanoma, the most lethal skin cancer, remains largely unknown. In the present study, we found that melanoma cell lines present variable protein levels of Axl and Tyro3; interestingly, MerTK is not noted at detectable levels in any of tested MGP (metastatic growth phase) cell lines. Treatment with recombinant human Gas6 significantly activates Akt in the Axl-expressing WM852 and IgR3 lines but just slightly in WM1158. IgR3, WM852 and WM1158 demonstrate different autocrine signaling. Knockdown of Axl by siRNA or the treatment with Axl-specific inhibitor R428 dramatically inhibits the migration and invasion of both IgR3 and WM852 in vitro. These findings suggest that Axl enhances the invasion of melanoma cells. |
