How cancer cells can interact with each other?

Publish date: 2015-01-28

Interactions between cells are of crucial importance for the proper functioning of tissues and the whole multicellular organisms. During pathological processes, such as cancer progression, alterations in cell-cell adhesion are very common. The molecular events underlying these changes must be deeply investigated in order to develop efficient anti-cancer therapies.

A proper organization of tissues is dependent on direct interactions of cells with each other or with extracellular matrix. Transient connections are formed e.g. during inflammation between cells of immune system whereas stable ones are indispensable for tissue integrity, for instance, correct structure of epithelial sheets. When intercellular adhesion is disrupted, the cells may become “invasive”. Such a process is reported to be involved in development and progression of cancer.

The interaction between cells is possible thanks to various types of integral membrane proteins ,cell-adhesion molecule (CAMs), such as cadherins, selectins or integrins. The clusters of CAPs form so called junctions, which can be classified as tight junction, gap junction, cell-cell and cell-matrix junctions.

Tight junctions are responsible for connections of plasma membranes of neighboring cells in a sheet, therefore, preventing small molecule leakage into the extracellular space. In contrast, gap junctions connecting cytoplasm of adjacent cells enable molecules and ions to diffuse between cells as they serve as open channels. Hence, gap junctions play important roles in metabolic activities and electric communication.

As the epithelium is a tissue most commonly affected by cancer, it is intensively investigated inter alia in terms of cell-cell adhesion abnormalities. Epithelial cells are organized in adjoining sheets comprising of polarized cells limited by basement membrane, which separates them from the stroma. Disorganization of the epithelium interaction with stroma may trigger the process of carcinogenesis. Due to the loss of cellular adhesion, cells can enter the blood or lymphatic circulatory system and metastasize. There are numerous reports suggesting that CAMs might be associated with invasive process in different human cancers. Dr Jonas Fuxe, associate professor at the Department of MBB in Karolinska Institute emphasizes the importance of cell-cell communication among cancer cells.

Further studies unveiling mechanisms of  cell-cell interactions in normal and pathological states are necessary in order to provide novel diagnostic strategies as well as efficient therapies directed against particular type of cancer.

I messaged the spell caster, and he assured me there was no problem and that everything will be okay before three days. He cast the spell and surprisingly on the second day, my husband called me.

Greetings to the general public,i want to inform the public how i was cured of firbrod by blackspellfactory .i visited different hospital but they gave me list of drugs which is very expensive to buy and never cured me, I was browsing through the Internet searching for remedy and i saw comment of people talking about how blackspellfactory cured them. when i contacted him he gave me hope and told me not to worry that all is well, before the firbrod I was unable to get pregnant I told him all I was going through and he wrote saying o yea women of little faith I was shocked he said i will cast a spell on you 1 week is too much to confirm you are cured and get pregnant, 6days later it seriously worked for me, am a free person now I went for check up the doc said wow impossible no firbrod and and a week pregnant I burst into tears.sir God will give you everlasting life, you shall not die before your time for being a sincere and great man.

My Dear friends online, My name is Ashley Lisa And i live in USA, New York, I have to give this miraculous testimony, which is so unbelievable until now. I had a problem with my Ex husband 2 years ago, which lead to our break up. I was not myself again, i felt so empty inside me, my love and financial situation became worst, until a close friend of mine told me about a spell caster who helped her in the same problem too his name is Doctor Ogboni. I email the spell caster and i told him my problem and i did what he asked of me, to cut the long story short. Before i knew what was happen, less than two days my husband gave me a call and told me that he was coming back to me i was so happy to have him back to me. The most interesting part of the story is that am pregnant. Thanks to Doctor Ogboni for saving my marriage and for also saving others own too. Continue your good work, If you are interested to contact the great spell caster email address: ogbonispelltemple@hotmail.com or call him :+2347054263874

My name is Jessica Luis, and I base in USA...My life is back!!! After 1 years of Broken marriage, my husband left me with two kids . I felt like my life was about to end i almost committed suicide, i was emotionally down for a very long time. Thanks to a spell caster called Dr Mohammed, which i met online. On one faithful day, as I was browsing through the internet,I came across allot of testimonies about this particular spell caster. Some people testified that he brought their Ex lover back, some testified that he restores womb,cure cancer,and other sickness, some testified that he can cast a spell to stop divorce and so on. i also come across one particular testimony,it was about a woman called Sonia,she testified about how he brought back her Ex lover in less than 2 days, and at the end of her testimony she dropped Dr Mohammed's e-mail address. After reading all these,I decided to give it a try. I contacted him via email and explained my problem to him. In just 48hours, my husband came back to me. We solved our issues, and we are even happier than before Dr Mohammed, is really a gifted man and i will not stop publishing him because he is a wonderful man...
