Vim, Vimentin: Click to Expand ⟱

Type:
Vimentin, a major constituent of the intermediate filament family of proteins, is ubiquitously expressed in normal mesenchymal cells and is known to maintain cellular integrity and provide resistance against stress. Vimentin is overexpressed in various epithelial cancers, including prostate cancer, gastrointestinal tumors, tumors of the central nervous system, breast cancer, malignant melanoma, and lung cancer. Vimentin’s overexpression in cancer correlates well with accelerated tumor growth, invasion, and poor prognosis; however, the role of vimentin in cancer progression remains obscure.

In many epithelial-derived tumors (carcinomas), elevated Vimentin expression is often observed in cancer cells that have undergone EMT. This upregulation is characteristic of a shift toward a mesenchymal state, which is associated with reduced cell–cell adhesion and increased motility. Vimentin expression is also noted in the tumor stroma, reflecting the presence and activation of mesenchymal cells such as cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). This dual expression can contribute to the remodeling of the tumor microenvironment.
The degree of Vimentin expression may vary depending on the tumor type, grade, and stage. More aggressive and advanced tumors tend to show higher levels of Vimentin expression.

High Vimentin expression has been correlated with poor clinical outcomes in several cancers, including breast, colorectal, prostate, and lung cancers.
Elevated Vimentin levels are typically associated with higher tumor grade, increased invasiveness, enhanced metastatic potential, and a greater risk of recurrence.
As a component of the EMT signature, high Vimentin expression can serve as an indicator of a more aggressive tumor phenotype and is often associated with reduced overall survival.
- vimentin up-regulation is often used as a marker of EMT in cancer

5343- Ajoene,    The garlic compound ajoene covalently binds vimentin, disrupts the vimentin network and exerts anti-metastatic activity in cancer cells

Vim↑, Surprisingly, and apparently contradictory to the role that vimentin plays in metastasis, a time-dependent increase in total vimentin protein was observed
TumCI↓, Ajoene inhibits invasion and migration
TumCMig↓,
TumMeta↓, offer protection against metastatic cancer, mediated through binding to the vimentin target.
Vim↓, our vimentin finding is therefore the second example in the literature, where ajoene has been found to target and inhibit a protein, with a simultaneous increase in its expression.
other↝, We argue that ajoenes increased vimentin expression may be a response to restore the malfunctioning vimentin network.
