Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular networks that regulate cancer metastasis.
TL;DR: This work addresses several genetic events and critical factors that define the metastatic phenotype acquired during tumorigenesis that provide the basis for the development of new aspects in the treatment of metastatic cancers, which involves inhibition of these proteins and their molecular networks.
Journal ArticleDOI
VEGF-Mediated Angiogenesis Links EMT-Induced Cancer Stemness to Tumor Initiation
Anna Fantozzi,Dorothea C. Gruber,Laura Pisarsky,Chantal Heck,Akiko Kunita,Mahmut Yilmaz,Nathalie Meyer-Schaller,Karen Cornille,Ulrike Hopfer,Mohamed Bentires-Alj,Gerhard Christofori +10 more
TL;DR: It is reported that EMT confers efficient tumorigenicity to murine breast cancer cells by the upregulated expression of the proangiogenic factor VEGF-A and by increased tumor angiogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pos1035 focal adhesion proteins kindlin-1, -2 and talin-1 are regulated in il-1β-stimulated rheumatoid arthritis synovial fibroblasts
Marilyn D. Arnold,Stefan Rehart,Martin Sauerbier,Claudia Biehl,Chantal Heck,Ulf Müller-Ladner,Elena Neumann +6 more
TL;DR: The role of kindlin-1 and talin-1 proteins in RA was investigated in this paper , showing that repetitive activation with IL-1β led to a temporary downregulation of kindin-2 (-4.1-fold, p=0.0456), kindin1 (-1.6-fold), and kindlin3 (0.12 ± 0.06) proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Op0209 impact of chronic inflammation and collagen iv fragment canstatin on rheumatoid arthritis synovial fibroblasts and endothelial cell interactions in vitro and in vivo
Chantal Heck,Shirley Haun,K. Frommer,Marilyn D. Arnold,Stefan Rehart,Ulf Müller-Ladner,Elena Neumann +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors show that repetitively stimulating RASF-and canstatin-mediated effects on tube formation in the SCID-mouse model for RA and in synovial tissue of RA patients with respect to angiopoietin-2 (ANGPT2) expression and RASf-endothelial cell (EC) interactions.
