Mechanistically, an effect ADAM28 on cancer cell metastasis was through by cleaving vWF as determined in terms of assays including the yeast two-hybrid analysis, knockdown of ADAM28 expression using shRNAs or small interface RNA (siRNA) to ADAM28, or inhibition of activity using neutralizing anti-ADAM28 antibody in a mouse tumor xenograft models [15]. The gene discussed is ADAM28; the disease is cancer.
