Inflammation and Cancer: Triggers, Mechanisms, and Consequences.

TL;DR: How tumor-promoting inflammation closely resembles inflammatory processes typically found during development, immunity, maintenance of tissue homeostasis, or tissue repair is discussed and the distinctions between tissue-protective and pro-tumorigenic inflammation are illuminated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Crosstalk between cancer cells and tumor associated macrophages is required for mesenchymal circulating tumor cell-mediated colorectal cancer metastasis

TL;DR: It is indicated that TAMs induce EMT program to enhance CRC migration, invasion, and CTC-mediated metastasis by regulating the JAK2/STAT3/miR-506-3p/FoxQ1 axis, which in turn leads to the production of CCL2 that promote macrophage recruitment, revealing a new cross-talk between immune cells and tumor cells in CRC microenvironment.
Journal ArticleDOI

The multifaceted role of chromosomal instability in cancer and its microenvironment

TL;DR: These multipronged effects distinguish CIN as a central driver of tumor evolution and as a genomic source for the crosstalk between the tumor and its microenvironment, in the course of immune editing and evasion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Contribution of Angiogenesis to Inflammation and Cancer.

TL;DR: The role of hypoxia as a mechanism that drives the acquisition of tumor hallmarks that make certain cancers more aggressive is discussed and some combinations of therapies that inhibit the angiogenesis process and that may be a successful strategy for cancer patients are indicated.

miR-195-5p/NOTCH2-mediated EMT modulates IL-4 secretion in colorectal cancer to affect M2-like TAM polarization

TL;DR: miR-195-5p may play a vital role in regulating NOTCH2-mediated tumor cell EMT, thereby affecting IL-4-related M2-like TAM polarization in CRC.

Interleukin-6-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition through signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 in human cervical carcinoma.

TL;DR: It is concluded that IL-6 plays an important role through Stat3 in the EMT induction and can be a potential therapeutic target and biomarker for human cervical carcinoma.
Journal ArticleDOI

CXCR7 mediates TGFβ1-promoted EMT and tumor-initiating features in lung cancer

TL;DR: The results suggest that the TGFβ1-CXCR7 axis may be a prognostic marker and may provide novel targets for combinational therapies to be used in the treatment of advanced lung cancer in the future.
Journal ArticleDOI

High Infiltration of Tumor-Associated Macrophages Influences Poor Prognosis in Human Gastric Cancer Patients, Associates With the Phenomenon of EMT.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the high level of infiltration TAMs was associated with aggressive features of GC and is an independent poor prognostic factor in GC patients, and TAMs are associated with EMT induction in human GC tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI

The promotion of the transformation of quiescent gastric cancer stem cells by IL-17 and the underlying mechanisms.

TL;DR: It is suggested that IL-17 is positively correlated with the transformation of quiescent gastric CSCs into invasive gastricCSCs and that targeting IL- 17 may emerge as a possible novel therapeutic strategy for gastric cancer.
