TLDR
Supporting the notion that malignant colonic epithelial cells overexpress IL-8, CXCR2 blockade may be a novel target for anti-angiogenic therapy in colorectal adenocarcinoma.

Muscle as an endocrine organ: focus on muscle-derived interleukin-6.

TL;DR: This review focuses on the myokine IL-6, its regulation by exercise, its signaling pathways in skeletal muscle, and its role in metabolism in both health and disease.

Chronic inflammation and cytokines in the tumor microenvironment.

TL;DR: The role of these cytokines in important events of carcinogenesis, such as their capacity to generate reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, their potential mutagenic effect, and their involvement in mechanisms for epithelial mesenchymal transition, angiogenesis, and metastasis are explored.

The inflammatory micro-environment in tumor progression: The role of tumor-associated macrophages

TL;DR: The role of TAM in the inflammatory micro-environment of solid tumors is discussed and a potential target for future therapeutic approaches is identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

CXC chemokines in angiogenesis.

TL;DR: Members that contain the 'ELR' motif are potent promoters of angiogenesis, and mediate their angiogenic activity via binding and activating CXCR2 on endothelium, while those that are inducible by interferons and lack the ELR motif (ELR-) are potent inhibitors ofAngiogenesis.

Endostatin: an endogenous inhibitor of angiogenesis and tumor growth.

TL;DR: This work has identified endostatin, an angiogenesis inhibitor produced by hemangioendothelioma, a 20 kDa C-terminal fragment of collagen XVIII that specifically inhibits endothelial proliferation and potently inhibitsAngiogenesis and tumor growth.

Angiostatin induces and sustains dormancy of human primary tumors in mice

TL;DR: It is shown that systemic administration of human angiostatin potently inhibits the growth of three human and three murine primary carcinomas in mice, the first demonstration of dormancy therapy, a novel anticancer strategy in which malignant tumors are regressed by prolonged blockade of angiogenesis.
