Project description:The expression of the soluble protein GPNMB (glycoprotein non-metastatic melanoma protein B) induces an aggressive behavior of tumor cells by promoting proliferation and distant spread. The main molecular feature is the over expression of interleukin Il-33. The gene profile of MCA-1-GPNMB and MCA-1-GPNMB-spheroid cell line was assessed against MCA-1-Mock.
