Abstract
Methods of using fibrillar proteins are provided for suppressing cancer metastasis. Cancer metastasis is the most common cause of treatment failure and death in cancer patients. Tumor cell invasion and/or migration can be significantly inhibited after fibrillar proteins (rVP1, F-HSA, and F-BSA) treatment in vitro. In addition, rVP1 can significantly suppress murine and human breast cancer metastasis and human prostate and ovarian cancer metastasis in vivo while F-HSA can significantly suppress murine breast cancer metastasis.
