Application

Application Comment Organism
medicine full-length ADAMTS4 and its catalytically more active N-terminal 53 kDa autocatalytic fragment both promote B16 melanoma growth and angiogenesis in mice. Overexpression of its catalytically inactive E362A mutant or truncated fragments containing only the C-terminal ancillary domains suppresses melanoma growth and angiogenesis under similar conditions. The single thrombospondin-type 1 repeat domain is essential and sufficient for the antitumorigenic activity of the catalytically inactive ADAMTS4 isoforms. Suppression of tumor growth and angiogenesis in mice is accompanied by a significant increase in tumor cell apoptosis, whereas tumor cell proliferation is not affected Mus musculus
