Glycomechanics of the Metastatic Cascade: Tumor Cell–Endothelial Cell Interactions in the Circulation

Abstract

Hydrodynamic shear force plays an important role in the leukocyte adhesion cascade that involves the tethering and rolling of cells along the endothelial layer, their firm adhesion or arrest, and their extravasation or escape from the circulatory system by inducing passive deformation, or cell flattening, and microvilli stretching, as well as regulating the expression, distribution, and conformation of adhesion molecules on leukocytes and the endothelial layer. Similarly, the dissemination of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from the primary tumor sites is believed to involve tethering, rolling, and firm adhesion steps before their eventual extravasation which leads to secondary tumor sites (metastasis). Of particular importance to both the leukocyte adhesion cascade and the extravasation of CTCs, glycoproteins are involved in all three steps (capture, rolling, and firm adhesion) and consist of a variety of important selectin ligands. This review article provides an overview of glycoprotein glycosylation associated with the abnormal glycan expression on cancer cell surfaces, where well-established and novel selectin ligands that are cancer related are discussed. An overview of computational approaches on the effects of fluid mechanical force on glycoprotein mediated cancer cell rolling and adhesion is presented with a highlight of recent flow-based and selectin-mediated cell capturing/enriching devices. Finally, as an important branch of the glycoprotein family, mucins, specifically MUC1, are discussed in the context of their aberrant expression on cancer cells and their role as cancer cell adhesion molecules. Since metastasis relies heavily on glycoprotein interactions in the bloodstream where the fluid shear stress highly regulates cell adhesion forces, it is important to study and understand the glycomechanics of all relevant glycoproteins (well-established and novel) as they relate to the metastatic cascade.
