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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) as major players of the cancer-related inflammation

TL;DR: The microenvironment of solid tumors is characterized by a reactive stroma with an abundance of inflammatory mediators and leukocytes, dysregulated vessels and proteolytic enzymes, which makes TAM an attractive target of novel biological therapies of tumors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inflammation and cancer: advances and new agents

TL;DR: It is asserted that inflammation and innate immunity are important targets in patients with cancer on the basis of extensive preclinical and epidemiological data and potential for novel cancer prevention and treatment strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI

The roles of TGFβ in the tumour microenvironment

TL;DR: The role of an essential signalling pathway, that of transforming growth factor-β, in the regulation of components of the tumour microenvironment and how this contributes to tumour progression is addressed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cancer Metastasis Is Accelerated through Immunosuppression during Snail-Induced EMT of Cancer Cells

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Snail-induced EMT accelerates cancer metastasis through not only enhanced invasion but also induction of immunosuppression, and inhibited tumor growth and metastasis following increase of tumor-specific tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and systemic immune responses.
