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.

Exosomes Induce Fibroblast Differentiation into Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts through TGFβ Signaling.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that bladder cancer cells trigger the differentiation of fibroblasts to CAFs by exosomes-mediated TGFβ transfer and SMAD pathway activation, a new molecular mechanism involved in cancer-associated fibroblast activation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cancer stem cells (CSCs): metabolic strategies for their identification and eradication.

TL;DR: The potential of comprehensive metabolic approaches to identify and selectively eradicate CSCs is described, together with the possibility to ‘force’ C SCs within certain metabolic dependences, in order to effectively target such metabolic biochemical inflexibilities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cancer-associated fibroblasts induce epithelial-mesenchymal transition of bladder cancer cells through paracrine IL-6 signalling.

TL;DR: It is concluded that CAFs promote aggressive phenotypes of non-invasive bladder cancer cells through an EMT induced by the secretion of IL-6, and that IL6 expression is up-regulated in aggressive bladder cancer and correlate with CAF marker ACTA2.

Transforming Growth Factor-Beta and Oxidative Stress Interplay: Implications in Tumorigenesis and Cancer Progression

TL;DR: The mutual collaboration of TGF-β and ROS in tumorigenesis is highly complex, and, due to their differential roles in tumor progression, careful consideration should be taken when thinking of combinatorial targeting in cancer therapies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bone tissue remodeling and development: focus on matrix metalloproteinase functions.

TL;DR: The principal properties of MMPs and their inhibitors (TIMPs and RECK) are looked at, an up-date on their known functions in bone development and remodeling and their potential application to Bone Bioengineering are discussed.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
