The role of Snail in non-small cell lung cancer

The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a developmental program frequently reactivated in cancer. It plays an important role in several aspects of tumor progression, particularly in the acquisition of invasive capacities facilitating metastasis. ...

Glucose transporters in cancer - from tumor cells to the tumor microenvironment

Etienne Meylan, Caroline Anne-Lyse Contat, Pierre-Benoit Bernard Ancey

Solute carriers of the glucose transporter (GLUT) family mediate the first step for cellular glucose usage. The upregulation of GLUTs has been reported in numerous cancer types as a result of perturbation of gene expression or protein relocalization or sta ...

Advancing immunotherapy for HPV-related cancers: Improving therapeutic vaccination approaches and understanding the immunosuppressive role of myeloid cells

Gabriele Galliverti

Human Papilloma Viruses (HPVs) are the most common sexually transmitted agents worldwide, and chronic infection with oncogenic HPVs can lead to the development of lesions in the cervix, the vulva, and the head and neck region. In some patients, these lesio ...

Snail mediates repression of the Dlk1-Dio3 locus in lung tumor-infiltrating immune cells

Nadine Fournier, Etienne Meylan, Julien Robert Rémi Faget, Svenja Johanna Groeneveld

The epithelial-mesenchymal transition-inducing transcription factor Snail contributes to tumor progression in different malignancies. In the present study, we used a transcriptomics approach to elucidate the mechanism of Snail-mediated tumor growth promoti ...

TIE-2-expressing monocytes are lymphangiogenic and associate specifically with lymphatics of human breast cancer

George Coukos, Nicolas Jean Philippe Guex, Luc Henry, Ioannis Xenarios, Hans-Anton Lehr, Nathalie Rufer, Emanuela Marina Iancu

In experimental mouse models of cancer, increasingly compelling evidence point toward a contribution of tumor associated macrophages (TAM) to tumor lymphangiogenesis. Corresponding experimental observations in human cancer remain scarce although lymphatic ...

SiNW-based Biosensors for Profiling Biomarkers in Breast Tumor Tissues

Francesca Puppo

Breast cancer is the most common life-threatening malignancy in women of most developed countries today, with approximately 200,000 new cases diagnosed every year. About 30% of these cases progress to metastatic disease and death. Considering that one-thir ...

GLUT3 is induced during epithelial-mesenchymal transition and promotes tumor cell proliferation in non-small cell lung cancer

Bart Deplancke, Natasha Ella Samson, Etienne Meylan, Petra Catalina Schwalie, Svenja Johanna Groeneveld, Jessica Christine Vazquez, Mark Jonathan Masin

Alterations in glucose metabolism and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) constitute two important characteristics of carcinoma progression toward invasive cancer. Despite an extensive characterization of each of them separately, the links between EMT ...

MicroRNA-mediated control of macrophages and its implications for cancer

Michele De Palma, Mario Leonardo Squadrito, Martin Etzrodt

Deregulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) can drive oncogenesis, tumor progression, and metastasis by acting cell-autonomously in cancer cells. However, solid tumors are also infiltrated by large amounts of non-neoplastic stromal cells, including macrophages, whi ...

The biology of personalized cancer medicine: facing individual complexities underlying hallmark capabilities

Michele De Palma, Douglas Hanahan

It is a time of great promise and expectation for the applications of knowledge about mechanisms of cancer toward more effective and enduring therapies for human disease. Conceptualizations such as the hallmarks of cancer are providing an organizing princi ...

Tumor Microenvironment Complexity: Emerging Roles in Cancer Therapy

Melody Swartz

The tumor microenvironment (TME) consists of cells, soluble factors, signaling molecules, extracellular matrix, and mechanical cues that can promote neoplastic transformation, support tumor growth and invasion, protect the tumor from host immunity, foster ...
