Component

Proliferation and metastasis of melanoma cells

Proliferation and metastasis of melanoma cells. Species, exposure and limitations are retained in each linked claim.

1 recorded relationships. Experimental role, claim status and evidence remain attached to each record.

How nutrients influence it

Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.

How nutrients reach it in more than one step

Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

What acts on it

  1. Melanoma A375 and MV3 cell lines treated with dihydrocapsaicin showed significantly suppressed proliferation, migration and invasion, dihydrocapsaicin inhibited xenograft tumour growth and pulmonary metastasis in a NOD/SCID mouse model, beta-catenin was downregulated after treatment along with cyclin D1, c-Myc, MMP2 and MMP7, and mechanistically dihydrocapsaicin accelerated ubiquitination of beta-catenin and upregulated the E3 ubiquitin protein ligase BTRC.

    experimental_model
    Melanoma A375 and MV3 cell lines with a NOD/SCID mouse xenograft and beta-catenin overexpression rescue
    exposure
    Dihydrocapsaicin at 100 micromolar, with exogenous beta-catenin overexpression as the rescue
    limitations
    A corrigendum was published against this article in 2022 stating that four transwell and soft agar images in Figures 5 and 6 were presented with incorrect pictures. Those are the beta-catenin rescue figures, which carry the mechanistic conclusion. The descriptive anti-proliferative result does not rest on them; the mechanism does.
