Tumor-associated macrophages provide a suitable microenvironment for non-small lung cancer invasion and progression.

TLDR
It was demonstrated that those up-regulated genes in TAMs contributed to suitable microenvironments for lung cancer invasion and metastasis, and may be useful in developing novel therapeutic strategies to prevent lung cancer progression.

Tumor associated macrophages and neutrophils in cancer.

TL;DR: Macrophages and neutrophils are both integrated in the regulation of the innate and adaptive immune responses in various inflammatory situations, including cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tumor-associated macrophages: an accomplice in solid tumor progression

TL;DR: The role of TAMs in promoting tumor growth, enhancing cancer cells resistance to chemotherapy and radiotherapy, promoting tumor angiogenesis, inducing tumor migration and invasion and metastasis, activating immunosuppression is focused on.

Much More than M1 and M2 Macrophages, There are also CD169(+) and TCR(+) Macrophages.

TL;DR: The refined characterization of the macrophage subpopulations can be useful in designing new strategies, supplementing those already established for the treatment of diseases using macrophages as a therapeutic target.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tumor associated macrophages and neutrophils in tumor progression

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that also neutrophils can be driven towards distinct phenotypes in response to microenvironmental signals, and the identification of mechanisms and molecules associated with macrophage and neutrophil plasticity and polarized activation provides a basis for new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

Tumor-associated macrophages: function, phenotype, and link to prognosis in human lung cancer

TL;DR: The current understanding of how the tumor microenvironment takes advantage of macrophage plasticity to mold an immunosuppressive population, the phenotypic heterogeneity of TAMs, and their link to prognosis in human lung cancer are summarized.

Cancer-related inflammation.

TL;DR: The molecular pathways of this cancer-related inflammation are now being unravelled, resulting in the identification of new target molecules that could lead to improved diagnosis and treatment.

The chemokine system in diverse forms of macrophage activation and polarization.

TL;DR: Recent evidence suggests that differential modulation of the chemokine system integrates polarized macrophages in pathways of resistance to, or promotion of, microbial pathogens and tumors, or immunoregulation, tissue repair and remodeling.

Electrophoretic analysis of plasminogen activators in polyacrylamide gels containing sodium dodecyl sulfate and copolymerized substrates.

TL;DR: A new technique is described for the electrophoretic analysis of plasminogen activators in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels containing copolymerized pl asminogen and gelatin, which can be used to detect as little as 1 mU of urokinase and effectively distinguishes between melanoma- and u rokinase-type plasmineg activators.

Matrix metalloproteinases and tumor metastasis

TL;DR: The major pieces of evidence that are most compelling and clearly determine the role and involvement of MMPs in the metastatic cascade are provided by molecular genetic studies employing knock-out or transgenic animals and tumor cell lines, modified to overexpress or downregulate a specific MMP.
