Abstract :
Using an in vitro model for investigating the mechanism of migration and proliferation of a cultured human gastric cancer cell line which we established recently, we studied the suppressive effect of inhibitors of the cytoskeleton proteins, actin and myosin, on the migration and proliferation of cancer cells. These inhibitors suppressed the capacity of cancer cells to migrate and proliferate dose-dependently. Thus the integrity of the cytoskeletal system may play an important role in the mechanism of metastasis of gastric cancer cells.
