Anoikis is defined broadly as apoptosis that is inhibited by
appropriate cell-matrix interactions. Normal and tumor cells vary
widely in their sensitivity to anoikis, but, in general, metastatic
tumor cells are inevitably anoikis-resistant. In particular, tumor
cells that possess a cancer stem cell or mesenchymal phenotype,
arising from the oncogenic Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT),
are transcriptionally re-programmed to resist anoikis. While the
anoikis response occurs through the mitochondrial pathway typically
found in other apoptotic responses (e.g., DNA damage, death
receptors, oxidative stress), the regulation of anoikis by
cell-matrix signalling is unique and only partially characterized.
The uniqueness of anoikis is: a. regulation by integrins,
non-integrin matrix receptors, and the signaling complexes
associated with them; b. regulation by metabolic changes occurring
in response to attachment/detachment; c. regulation by oncogenes
and tumor suppressor genes d. regulation by tumor microenvironment;
e. regulation by EMT.
