The Immune Landscape of Cancer

TL;DR: An extensive immunogenomic analysis of more than 10,000 tumors comprising 33 diverse cancer types by utilizing data compiled by TCGA identifies six immune subtypes that encompass multiple cancer types and are hypothesized to define immune response patterns impacting prognosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inflammation and Colon Cancer

TL;DR: The role of distinct immune cells, cytokines, and other immune mediators in virtually all steps of colon tumorigenesis, including initiation, promotion, progression, and metastasis, are elucidated.

The polarization of immune cells in the tumour environment by TGFβ

TL;DR: The hypothesis that blocking TGFβ-induced signalling in the tumour microenvironment enhances antitumour immunity and may be beneficial for cancer therapy is favoured.

Inflammation and cancer

TL;DR: It is now becoming clear that the tumour microenvironment, which is largely orchestrated by inflammatory cells, is an indispensable participant in the neoplastic process, fostering proliferation, survival and migration.

Mechanisms of TGF-β Signaling from Cell Membrane to the Nucleus

TL;DR: Current understanding on the mechanisms of TGF-β signaling from cell membrane to the nucleus is presented and the transcriptional regulation of target gene expression is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Smad-dependent and Smad-independent pathways in TGF-beta family signalling.

TL;DR: Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) proteins regulate cell function, and have key roles in development and carcinogenesis, and combinatorial interactions in the heteromeric receptor and Smad complexes, receptor-interacting and Smadracing proteins, and cooperation with sequence-specific transcription factors allow substantial versatility and diversification of TGF- β family responses.

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.

TGFβ in Cancer

TL;DR: The mechanistic basis and clinical relevance of TGFbeta's role in cancer is becoming increasingly clear, paving the way for a better understanding of the complexity and therapeutic potential of this pathway.
