Investigation of CCN matricellular proteins in normal and malignant haematopoesis and solid tumour metastasis to bone. CCN proteins modulate stem cell signalling pathways including that of transforming growth factor beta, bone morphogenic protein, Notch and Wnt-beta-catenin. Abberations in CCN expression have been associated with a number of haematological malignancies including leukaemia and also in prostate cancer. CCN overexpression and knockdown systems have been created to identify the associated signalling pathways involved in tumourigenesis, advanced and resistant disease using gene array profiling. Identification of novel targeting strategies directed toward CCN associated stem cell signalling will allow development of novel therapeutics to more effectively target cancer.
