One of the most important class of natural compounds with successful preclinical results in the management of cancer is the flavonoids. Due to the plethora of biological activities, apigenin (4 ′ ,5,7 trihydroxyflavone) is a main representant of the flavone subclass. Although the antiproliferative and antiangiogenic effects of apigenin were studied on a significant number of human and murine melanoma cell lines, in order to complete the data existing in the literature, the aim of this study is to evaluate the in vitro effect of apigenin on SK-MEL-24 human melanoma cell line as well as in vivo on tumor angiogenesis using the aforementioned cell line on the chorioallantoic membrane assay. Results have shown that in the range of tested doses, the phytocompound presents significant antiproliferative, cytotoxic, and antimigratory potential at 30 μM, respectively, 60 μM. Moreover, the phytocompound in both tested concentrations limited melanoma cell growth and migration and induced a reduced angiogenic reaction limiting melanoma cell development.

SummaryTissue factor (TF) is a transmembrane glycoprotein that complexes with factor VIIa to initiate blood coagulation. We previously reported that expression of high levels of TF in a human melanoma cell line promotes metastasis. Both the cytoplasmic domain of TF and its extracellular domain complexed with factor VIIa are required for the meta-static effect. To further explore the mechanism of TF-mediated metastasis, we investigated the possibility that a protease-activated receptor (PAR) might play a role. For this purpose, we first determined the expression levels of the known PARs (PAR1-4) in a human melanoma cell line, SIT1, that has low endogenous levels of TF and low meta-static potential. We found negligible levels of all of the known PARs and transfection of this cell line with human TF cDNA did not alter expression of the known PARs. To study the possible role of PAR1 in TF-mediated metastasis, we prepared a panel of transfected cell lines with varying levels of TF and PAR1. Our studies show that TF promotes metastasis by a pathway that does not involve high expression of known PARs by tumor cells. In addition, while overexpression of PAR1 is insufficient to induce metastasis in cells with low TF expression, it enhances the metastatic potential of cells with high TF expression, indicating a possible synergy between TF and PAR1 in promoting metastasis.
