MicroRNA-744-5p suppresses tumorigenesis and metastasis of osteosarcoma through the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases pathway by targeting transforming growth factor-beta 1

TL;DR: It is suggested that miR-744-5p is a negative regulator of TGFB1 and suppresses OS progression and metastasis via the p38 MAPK signaling pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alcohol promotes epithelial mesenchymal transformation-mediated premetastatic niche formation of colorectal cancer by activating interaction between laminin-γ2 and integrin-β1

TL;DR: This study suggests that alcohol promotes EMT-mediated premetastatic niche formation of CRC by activating the early interaction between LAMC2 and ITGB1 and lead to CRC metastasis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inflammation and nutritional status indicators as prognostic indicators for patients with locally advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors treated with neoadjuvant imatinib

TL;DR: In this article , the authors evaluated the predictive value of pre-treatment SII-PNI scores in predicting recurrence after neoadjuvant therapy with imatinib in patients with locally advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumours.
Journal ArticleDOI

The predictive value of lymphocyte to monocyte ratio for overall survival in cholangiocarcinoma patients with hepatic resection

TL;DR: In this article , the authors proposed lymphocyte to monocyte ratio (LMR) as a novel prognostic element for cholangiocarcinoma patients with hepatic resection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comprehensive analysis of autophagy-related clusters and individual risk model for immunotherapy response prediction in gastric cancer

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper explored the novel autophagy-related clusters and developed a multi-gene signature for predicting the prognosis and the response to immunotherapy in gastric cancer.

Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1): an overview.

TL;DR: This review will discuss the biological processes and the structure and function of CCL2, one of the key chemokines that regulate migration and infiltration of monocytes/macrophages.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence for a tumoral immune resistance mechanism based on tryptophan degradation by indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase

TL;DR: It is shown that most human tumors constitutively express IDO, and that expression of IDO by immunogenic mouse tumor cells prevents their rejection by preimmunized mice, suggesting that the efficacy of therapeutic vaccination of cancer patients might be improved by concomitant administration of an IDO inhibitor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Circulating Breast Tumor Cells Exhibit Dynamic Changes in Epithelial and Mesenchymal Composition

TL;DR: A role for EMT in the blood-borne dissemination of human breast cancer is supported as both single cells and multicellular clusters, expressing known EMT regulators, including transforming growth factor (TGF)–β pathway components and the FOXC1 transcription factor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition is dispensable for metastasis but induces chemoresistance in pancreatic cancer

TL;DR: This study functionally probes the role of EMT in PDAC by generating mouse models of PDAC with deletion of Snail or Twist, two key transcription factors responsible for EMT, and highlights the importance of combining EMT inhibition with chemotherapy for the treatment of pancreatic cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition is not required for lung metastasis but contributes to chemoresistance

TL;DR: The potential of an EMT-targeting strategy, in conjunction with conventional chemotherapies, for breast cancer treatment is suggested, using a mesenchymal-specific Cre-mediated fluorescent marker switch system in spontaneous breast-to-lung metastasis models.
