| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Caspr family molecules are transmembrane glycoproteins of neurexin superfamily which play a role for myelination of axons in brain. Recently, it has been reported about functions of Caspr family molecules in cancer cells. However, it is unclear about roles of Caspr molecules in cancer cells. In this study, we surveyed expression of Caspr in human glioblastoma cell-lines, and found expression of Caspr1. Secondly, we investigated relation of Caspr1 expression levels and cells proliferation, migration, invasion. In the results, suppression of Caspr1 by treatment with Caspr1-targeted siRNA promoted T98G glioblastoma cells invasion, migration and increased MMP-9 expression levels. Moreover, knockdown of Caspr1 increased JNK phosphorylation, and JNK inhibitor blocked MMP-9 up-regulation and cells invasion, migration by knockdown of Caspr1. Thus, these results suggest that Caspr1 negatively regulates for T98G glioblastoma cells invasion and migration via down-regulation of JNK pathway.
