NEW PROTEOMIC EVIDENCE ON DECORIN EFFECTS ON BREAST CANCER CELLS

Abstract

The estabilishment of a dinamic crosstyalk between the malignant cells and several components of the ECM is a crucial step of the tumor progression. The aim of the present study was to improve the knowledge about the effects of ectopic decorin on the breast cancer cells, starting from our previous proteomic studies. The new proteomic evidences strenghteh the anti-oncogenic effects of decorin and hilight the attention on the decreased expression of the majority of the members of three protein classes closely related to the malignant phenotype: the metabolic enzymes, the S100 family and the cell motility proteins
