physiological function | coculture of melanoma cells in the presence of ADAM-9-/- fibroblasts leads to increased melanoma cell proliferation and reduced apoptosis as compared with control cocultures. TIMP-1 and sTNFRI are the two relevant factors expressed in increased amounts in culture supernatants from ADAM-9-/- fibroblasts. TIMP-1 is associated with induced melanoma cell proliferation, whereas soluble TNFR1 mediates the reduced cellular apoptosis in vitro. In vivo, injection of murine melanoma cells into the flank of ADAM-9-/- animals results in the development of significantly larger tumors than in wild-type animals as a result of increased proliferation and decreased apoptosis of melanoma cells | Mus musculus |
