Tumor and its microenvironment: A synergistic interplay

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
The synergistic effect of hypoxia inducible factors (HIFs) and vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) in the successful outgrowth of metastasis is focused on, integrating therefore many of the emerging models and theories in the field.

Endothelial cells promote triple-negative breast cancer cell metastasis via PAI-1 and CCL5 signaling.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that ECs—when mixed with TNBC cells—could increase TNBC cell metastatic potency and illustrate the potential of developing new PAI‐1‐ and CCL5‐targeting therapy for patients with T NBC.

Translational Significance for Tumor Metastasis of Tumor-Associated Macrophages and Epithelial–Mesenchymal Transition

TL;DR: Clinical and experimental evidence is presented for control of TAMs in promoting cancer cell invasion and migration and their interaction with the EMT process in the metastatic cascade, suggesting that the signaling pathways that interconnect TAMs and EMT-modified cancer cells may represent promising therapeutic targets for the treatment of tumor metastasis.

Lipocalin produced by myelofibrosis cells affects the fate of both hematopoietic and marrow microenvironmental cells

TL;DR: Levels of a specific inflammatory cytokine, lipocalin-2 (LCN2), were elevated in the plasmas of patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms and that LCN2 was elaborated by MF myeloid cells, indicating that LCn2 is an additional MFinflammatory cytokine that likely contributes to the creation of a cascade of events that results in not only a predominance of the MF clone but also a dysfunctional microenvironment.

Metastasis-promoting role of extravasated platelet activation in tumor.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that extravasated platelet aggregation is associated with the first step in the formation of the EMT, suggesting a potential role for antiplatelet agents to suppress EMT and metastasis by changing the tumor microenvironment.

Engineering a vascularised 3D in vitro model of cancer progression

TL;DR: 3D in vitro tumour model exhibits biomimetic attributes that may permit their use in studying microenvironment clues of tumour progression and angiogenesis, and interestingly, the disruption of vascular networks by cancer cells was driven by changes in expression of several anti-angiogenic genes.

Global cancer statistics

TL;DR: A substantial proportion of the worldwide burden of cancer could be prevented through the application of existing cancer control knowledge and by implementing programs for tobacco control, vaccination, and early detection and treatment, as well as public health campaigns promoting physical activity and a healthier dietary intake.
Journal ArticleDOI

A genetic model for colorectal tumorigenesis

TL;DR: A model for the genetic basis of colorectal neoplasia that includes the following salient features is presented, which may be applicable to other common epithelial neoplasms, in which tumors of varying stage are more difficult to study.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tumor Angiogenesis: Therapeutic Implications

TL;DR: This new capillary growth is even more vigorous and continuous than a similar outgrowth of capillary sprouts observed in 2016 and is likely to be accompanied by neovascularization.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immunity, Inflammation, and Cancer

TL;DR: The principal mechanisms that govern the effects of inflammation and immunity on tumor development are outlined and attractive new targets for cancer therapy and prevention are discussed.

Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transitions in Development and Disease

TL;DR: The mesenchymal state is associated with the capacity of cells to migrate to distant organs and maintain stemness, allowing their subsequent differentiation into multiple cell types during development and the initiation of metastasis.
