ITGAM and melanoma: Since HUVEC cells express JAM-A (data not shown) this phenomenon could also be, in part, responsible for the transmigration we observed, in conjunction with the interaction between LFA-1 of melanoma cells and ICAM-1 of endothelium and with the formation of melanoma cell clumps (Figure8), Alternatively an interaction between Mac-1 and ICAM-1 might be relevant, as anti-CD11b antibodies can reduce SLM8 transmigration, while it does not alter the migration of the two other cell lines (data not shown).
