TLDR
In this article, the authors show that breast TAMs abundantly produce CCL18, and its expression in blood or cancer stroma is associated with metastasis and reduced patient survival.

Macrophage biology in development, homeostasis and disease

TL;DR: This Review discusses how macrophage regulate normal physiology and development, and provides several examples of their pathophysiological roles in disease, and defines the ‘hallmarks’ of macrophages according to the states that they adopt during the performance of their various roles.

Inflammation-induced cancer: crosstalk between tumours, immune cells and microorganisms.

TL;DR: It is proposed that understanding this microbial influence will be crucial for targeted therapy in modern cancer treatment and the recently suggested role of commensal microorganisms in inflammation-induced cancer is discussed.

Chemokines in the cancer microenvironment and their relevance in cancer immunotherapy

TL;DR: This Review focuses on the main chemokines that are found in the human tumour microenvironment, and elaborate on their patterns of expression, their regulation and their roles in immune cell recruitment and in cancer and stromal cell biology.

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.

Alternative activation of macrophages

TL;DR: The evidence in favour of alternative macrophage activation by the TH2-type cytokines interleukin-4 (IL-4) and IL-13 is assessed, and its limits and relevance to a range of immune and inflammatory conditions are defined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tumour-educated macrophages promote tumour progression and metastasis

TL;DR: Macrophages are educated by the tumour microenvironment, so that they adopt a trophic role that facilitates angiogenesis, matrix breakdown and tumour-cell motility — all of which are elements of the metastatic process.

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.

Alternative Activation of Macrophages: An Immunologic Functional Perspective

TL;DR: The cellular sources of these cytokines, receptor signaling pathways, and induced markers and gene signatures are reviewed and the concept of macrophage activation in the context of the immune response is revisit.
