Interestingly, Cd151 deletion resulted in significantly reduced numbers and size of primary tumors but did not appear to affect the number or size of metastases in the MMTV/PyMT mice. Intriguingly, no differences in the expression of markers of cell proliferation, apoptosis and blood vessel density was observed in the primary tumors. Conclusion: The findings from this study provide additional evidence that CD151 acts to enhance tumor formation initiated by a range of oncogenes and strongly support its relevance as a potential therapeutic target to delay breast cancer progression.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:43:04 AEST ]]> Genetic ablation of the tetraspanin CD151 reduces spontaneous metastatic spread of prostate cancer in the TRAMP model https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20183 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:51:43 AEDT ]]> Knockout of the tetraspanin Cd9 in the TRAMP model of de novo prostate cancer increases spontaneous metastases in an organ-specific manner https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20184 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:51:43 AEDT ]]>
