Disease relevance of AMFR

  • The autocrine motility factor (AMF) is known as a cytokine regulating tumor cells motility via AMF receptor (AMFR) and promotes their metastasis [1].
  • We assessed the possible correlation between AMFR, clinicopathologic features, and survival in stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) [2].
  • The AMFR expression was significantly associated with histologic type of tumor, mainly in adenocarcinoma [2].
  • The connection between AMFR expression and the invasive/metastatic potential of melanoma was further supported by our observation that SSM melanoma in the vertical growth phase expressed this motility receptor more strongly than tumors in the radial growth phase [3].
  • The motility stimulation of the fibrosarcoma cells with AMF is associated with the phosphorylation of the AMF receptor, a 78-kDa cell surface glycoprotein (gp78), suggesting protein kinase participation in migratory signal transduction [4].
 

Psychiatry related information on AMFR

  • The reduced AMFR in listeners with dyslexia may reflect impaired ability of the auditory system to follow rapid changes in stimulus energy, a cue believed to be important in the perception of speech [5].
  • Second, a parallel increase was found in hippocampal NLK and gp78 proteins after maze learning [6].

Physical interactions of AMFR

  • In contrast, gp78 lacking an intact RING finger or its multiple membrane-spanning domains stabilizes CD3-delta. gp78 has thus been found to be an example of a mammalian cellular E3 intrinsic to the ER, suggesting a potential link between ubiquitylation, ERAD, and metastasis [18].
  • Sterol-regulated Degradation of Insig-1 Mediated by the Membrane-bound Ubiquitin Ligase gp78 [19].
 

Regulatory relationships of AMFR

  • However, both p97/VCP and Ufd1 appear to be required for CD3delta degradation in cells expressing physiological levels of gp78 [20].
 

Other interactions of AMFR

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of AMFR

  • The FLAG-taggedAMFR immunoprecipitated with an anti-FLAG antibody was recognized by the 3F3A mAb in Western blot analysis and cells transfected with AMFR exhibit increased labeling with the 3F3A mAb [13].
  • METHODS: Using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analyses and phagokinetic assay, we studied the correlation between the level of AMF-R gene expression and cell motility [12].
  • The expression of c-Met, AMFR, and Ets-1 protein was analyzed by immunohistochemistry in 99 patients with tongue SCC [22].
  • Moreover, patients with increased expression of both c-Met and AMFR had significantly worse disease-free survival [22].
  • CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that the expression patterns of c-met, AMFR, and uPAR may be closely associated with the progression and invasion of gastric carcinoma as well as the prognoses of the patients [23].
