The microenvironment in mature B-cell malignancies: a target for new treatment strategies

Reads0

TLDR
A paradigm shift in the treatment of selected B-cell malignancies is anticipated, moving from targeting primarily the malignant cells toward combining cytotoxic drugs with agents that interfere with the microenvironment's proactive role.

The times they are a-changin': prognostic markers in the new era of BCR-targeting therapies for CLL

TL;DR: With the emergence of inhibitors of BCR-associated kinases (Btk-, Syk- and PI3 kinase inhibitors) in CLL and other B cell malignancies, B CR-related risk factors may help with identification of patients who are likely to respond and/or for response assessment (i.e., CCL3 plasma levels).

Stromal Fibroblasts Present in Invasive Human Breast Carcinomas Promote Tumor Growth and Angiogenesis through Elevated SDF-1/CXCL12 Secretion

TL;DR: Using a coimplantation tumor xenograft model, it is demonstrated that carcinoma-associated fibroblasts extracted from human breast carcinomas promote the growth of admixed breast carcinoma cells significantly more than do normal mammaries derived from the same patients.

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.

Conditions controlling the proliferation of haemopoietic stem cells in vitro.

TL;DR: A liquid culture system is described whereby proliferation of haemopoietic stem cells, production of granulocyte precursor cells (CFU‐C), and extensive granulopoiesis can be maintained in vitro for several months.

Maintenance of the Hematopoietic Stem Cell Pool by CXCL12-CXCR4 Chemokine Signaling in Bone Marrow Stromal Cell Niches

TL;DR: It is shown that the induced deletion of CXCR4, a receptor for CXC chemokine ligand (CXCL) 12 in adult mice, resulted in severe reduction of HSC numbers and increased sensitivity to myelotoxic injury, although it did not impair expansion of the more mature progenitors.
