Journal ArticleDOI
Activation of fibroblasts in cancer stroma.
Kati Räsänen,Antti Vaheri +1 more
TL;DR: This review focuses mainly on carcinomas and discusses the recent findings regarding the role of activated fibroblasts in driving tumor progression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nemosis, a novel way of fibroblast activation, in inflammation and cancer.
TL;DR: The results suggest that this kind of fibroblast activation (nemosis) may be involved in pathological conditions such as inflammation and cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
TGF-beta1 causes epithelial-mesenchymal transition in HaCaT derivatives, but induces expression of COX-2 and migration only in benign, not in malignant keratinocytes.
Kati Räsänen,Antti Vaheri +1 more
TL;DR: TGF-beta1 operates via distinct mechanisms in inducing EMT and metastasis, and supporting this it is shown that TGF- beta1 induces COX-2 and promotes the migration of benign cells, but does not further augment the Migration of malignant cells, indicating their resistance to TGF -beta1 in the context of motility.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emerging Roles of SPINK1 in Cancer
TL;DR: Assessing the role of SPINK1 in cancer has several potentially important clinical applications ranging from a biomarker to a potential new target for cancer therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differences in the nemosis response of normal and cancer-associated fibroblasts from patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma
TL;DR: Nemosis response, as observed by COX-2 and growth factor induction, and expression of CAF markers α-SMA, FSP1 and FAP, varies between fibroblast populations, emphasize the heterogeneity of fibroblasts and the evolving tumor-promoting properties of CAFs.
