One of the hallmarks of cancer is the ability to activate invasion and
metastasis. Cancer morbidity and mortality are largely related to the spread of
the primary, localized tumour to adjacent and distant sites. Appropriate
management and treatment decisions based on predicting metastatic disease at the
time of diagnosis is thus crucial, which supports better understanding of the
metastatic process. There are components of metastasis that are common to all
primary tumours: dissociation from the primary tumour mass,
reorganization/remodelling of extracellular matrix, cell migration, recognition
and movement through endothelial cells and the vascular circulation and lodgement
and proliferation within ectopic stroma. One of the key and initial events is the
increased ability of cancer cells to move, escaping the regulation of normal
physiological control. The cellular cytoskeleton plays an important role in
cancer cell motility and active cytoskeletal rearrangement can result in
metastatic disease. This active change in cytoskeletal dynamics results in
manipulation of plasma membrane and cellular balance between cellular adhesion
and motility which in turn determines cancer cell movement. Members of the
tetraspanin family of proteins play important roles in regulation of cancer cell
migration and cancer-endothelial cell interactions, which are critical for cancer
invasion and metastasis. Their involvements in active cytoskeletal dynamics,
cancer metastasis and potential clinical application will be discussed in this
review. In particular, the tetraspanin member, CD151, is highlighted for its
major role in cancer invasion and metastasis. LINKED ARTICLES: This article is
