Methods 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. Compositions of fibrillar proteins as anti-cancer metastasis therapeutics and methods of use thereof are provided herein. |
