The development of effective cancer treatments requires a detailed understanding of cellular mechanisms involved in cancer progression and metastasis. Anoikis, a special type of apoptosis induced by loss of anchorage, is a driving mechanism in cancer metastasis. This review discusses the mechanisms of gaining anoikis/anoikis resistance phenotype in tumor cells and highlights the significance of anoikis in malignancies for cancer diagnosis and therapy development.
The development of effective treatments for cancers requires investigations for a more detailed and comprehensive understanding of the basic cellular mechanisms involved in carcinogenesis, cancer progression, and metastasis. One of those driving mechanisms is anoikis, a special type of apoptosis, which is induced by losing anchorage from the extracellular matrix (ECM). In other words, resisting death in detached cells (cells without ECM) forms an anoikis-resistant phenotype. Since the anoikis-resistance state compensates for the initial steps of cancer metastasis, this review aimed to discuss mechanisms of gaining anoikis/anoikis resistance phenotype in tumor cells. Finally, we highlighted the significance of anoikis in malignancies so as to provide clear insight into cancer diagnosis and therapy development.
