Abstract: Tissue transglutaminase-2 (TG2) is involved in Ca++-dependent aggregation and polymerization of proteins. TG2 is upregulated in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) cells as compared to normal ovarian epithelium. TG2 is also highly expressed in ovarian tumors and secreted in malignant ascites, but it is not detected in non-transformed ovarian epithelium. Furthermore, TG2 enhances EOC cell adhesion to fibronectin and haptotactic cell migration. This phenotype is preserved in-vivo, where the pattern of tumor dissemination in the peritoneal space is dependent on TG2 expression levels. TG2 knock down diminishes dissemination of tumors on the peritoneal surface and mesentery in an i.p. ovarian xenograft model. This phenotype is due to deficient ?1 integrin-fibronectin interaction, leading to weaker anchorage of cancer cells to the peritoneal matrix.
