Staurosporine and extracellular matrix proteins mediate the conversion of small cell lung carcinoma cells into a neuron-like phenotype. by Tamara Murmann, Carmen Carrillo-García, Nadine Veit, Cornelius Courts, Alexander Glassmann, Viktor Janzen, Burkhard Madea, Markus Reinartz, Anne Harzen, Michael Nowak, Sven Perner, Jochen Winter, Rainer Probstmeier

“…Small cell lung carcinomas (SCLCs) represent highly aggressive tumors with an overall five-year survival rate in the range of 5 to 10%. Here, we show that four out of five SCLC cell lines reversibly develop a neuron-like phenotype on extracellular matrix constituents such as fibronectin, laminin or thrombospondin upon staurosporine treatment in an RGD/integrin-mediated manner. …”
