A Mena Invasion Isoform Potentiates EGF-Induced Carcinoma Cell Invasion and Metastasis

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
It is shown that Mena and Mena(INV) promote carcinoma cell motility and invasiveness in vivo and in vitro, and increase lung metastasis and EGF-induced membrane protrusion of tumor cells.

Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transitions in Development and Disease

TL;DR: The mesenchymal state is associated with the capacity of cells to migrate to distant organs and maintain stemness, allowing their subsequent differentiation into multiple cell types during development and the initiation of metastasis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immune cell promotion of metastasis

TL;DR: How tumour-infiltrating immune cells contribute to the metastatic cascade is described and potential therapeutic strategies to target these cells are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chemotaxis in cancer

TL;DR: This Review summarizes how chemotaxis directs the different behaviours of tumour cells and stromal cells in vivo, how molecular pathways regulateChemotaxis in tumours and how chemtaxis choreographs cell behaviour to shape the tumour microenvironment and to determine metastatic spread.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Ins and Outs of the Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition in Health and Disease

TL;DR: The epithelial to mesenchymal transition converts epithelial cells into migratory and invasive cells and is a fundamental event in morphogenesis, and now constitutes a promising target for the treatment of cancer and organ-degenerative diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modes of cancer cell invasion and the role of the microenvironment

TL;DR: Future studies will clarify how the combination of stromal network structure, tumor cell signaling and extracellular signaling cues influence cancer cell migration and metastasis.

Macrophages: Obligate Partners for Tumor Cell Migration, Invasion, and Metastasis

TL;DR: Macrophages within the tumor microenvironment facilitate angiogenesis and extracellular-matrix breakdown and remodeling and promote tumor cell motility and are an important drug target for cancer therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

A paracrine loop between tumor cells and macrophages is required for tumor cell migration in mammary tumors.

TL;DR: This work provides the first direct evidence for a synergistic interaction between macrophages and tumor cells during cell migration in vivo and indicates a mechanism for how macrophage may contribute to metastasis.

Direct Visualization of Macrophage-Assisted Tumor Cell Intravasation in Mammary Tumors

TL;DR: The results show that the interaction between macrophages and tumor cells lying in close proximity defines a microenvironment that is directly involved in the intravasation of cancer cells in mammary tumors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intravital imaging of cell movement in tumours

TL;DR: Multiphoton microscopy has been developed for in vivo imaging and, using this technique, scientists are beginning to understand how invasive tumour cells move.
