Resolvin D1 binds human phagocytes with evidence for proresolving receptors

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that RvD1 actions on human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) are pertussis toxin sensitive, decrease actin polymerization, and block LTB4-regulated adhesion molecules (β2 integrins).

IL-4 induces cathepsin protease activity in tumor-associated macrophages to promote cancer growth and invasion

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that high levels of cathepsin protease activity are induced in the majority of macrophages in the microenvironment of pancreatic islet cancers, mammary tumors, and lung metastases during malignant progression and that interleukin-4 (IL-4) is responsible for inducing cat hepsin activity in macrophage in vitro and in vivo.

Cytokines in clinical cancer immunotherapy

TL;DR: The novel trends in the cytokine immunotherapy field that are yielding therapeutic agents for clinical trials are provided, including known molecules with novel mechanisms of action, new targets, and fusion proteins that increase half-life and target cytokine activity to the tumour microenvironment or to the desired effector immune cells.

Inflammation and cancer

TL;DR: It is now becoming clear that the tumour microenvironment, which is largely orchestrated by inflammatory cells, is an indispensable participant in the neoplastic process, fostering proliferation, survival and migration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inflammation and cancer: back to Virchow?

TL;DR: A rationale for the use of cytokine and chemokine blockade, and further investigation of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, in the chemoprevention and treatment of malignant diseases is provided.

Involvement of chemokine receptors in breast cancer metastasis.

TL;DR: It is reported that the chemokine receptors CXCR4 and CCR7 are highly expressed in human breast cancer cells, malignant breast tumours and metastases and their respective ligands CXCL12/SDF-1α and CCL21/6Ckine exhibit peak levels of expression in organs representing the first destinations of breast cancer metastasis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Macrophage polarization: tumor-associated macrophages as a paradigm for polarized M2 mononuclear phagocytes

TL;DR: These functionally polarized cells, and similarly oriented or immature dendritic cells present in tumors, have a key role in subversion of adaptive immunity and in inflammatory circuits that promote tumor growth and progression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nuclear factor-kappaB in cancer development and progression.

TL;DR: This article showed that NF-kappaB provides a mechanistic link between inflammation and cancer, and is a major factor controlling the ability of both pre-neoplastic and malignant cells to resist apoptosis-based tumour-surveillance mechanisms.
