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.

TGF-β, Bone Morphogenetic Protein, and Activin Signaling and the Tumor Microenvironment.

TL;DR: This review will explore the various effects of TGF-β, BMP, and activin signaling on stromal phenotypes known to associate with cancer progression, in the context of their tumor suppressive or promoting effects, as well as the molecular changes that these cytokines induce to influence stromAL phenotypes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Soluble factors regulated by epithelial–mesenchymal transition mediate tumour angiogenesis and myeloid cell recruitment

TL;DR: The results show that EMT programmes trigger the expression of soluble mediators in cancer cells that stimulate angiogenesis and recruit myeloid cells in vivo, which might in turn favour cancer spread.
Journal ArticleDOI

IL-8 signaling is involved in resistance of lung carcinoma cells to erlotinib.

TL;DR: Generation of erlotinib-resistant lung cancer cells in vitro resulted in a phenotypic alteration reminiscent of an epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) concomitant with a robust upregulation of the IL-8/IL-8R axis, which provides a rationale for the development of new therapeutic approaches involving blockade of IL- 8 signaling for the management of acquired resistance to EGFR inhibition in patients with lung cancer.

Claudin-1 promotes TNF-α-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition and migration in colorectal adenocarcinoma cells

TL;DR: TNF-α mediated regulation of claudin-1 and tumorigenic abilities of colon cancer cells is demonstrated and highlights a key role of deregulated claudIn-1 expression in inflammation-induced colorectal cancer growth and progression, through the regulation of the ERK and Src-signaling.
Journal ArticleDOI

MDSCs Mediate Angiogenesis and Predispose Canine Mammary Tumor Cells for Metastasis via IL-28/IL-28RA (IFN-λ) Signaling

TL;DR: It is shown for the first time that MDSCs secrete IL-28 (IFN-λ), which promotes angiogenesis, EMT, invasion and migration of tumor cells, which may constitute an interesting target for further therapies.
