Secreted semaphorin 5A suppressed pancreatic tumour burden but increased metastasis and endothelial cell proliferation

Anguraj Sadanandam, Stephan Wullschleger

BACKGROUND: Our earlier reports demonstrated that membrane-bound semaphorin 5A (SEMA5A) is expressed in aggressive pancreatic cancer cells and tumours, and promotes tumour growth and metastasis. In this study, we examine whether (1) pancreatic cancer cells ...

Loss of Cutaneous TSLP-Dependent Immune Responses Skews the Balance of Inflammation from Tumor Protective to Tumor Promoting

Freddy Radtke, Ute Koch, Craig Nowell, Matteo Di Piazza

Inflammation can promote or inhibit cancer progression. In this study we have addressed the role of the proinflammatory cytokine thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) during skin carcinogenesis. Using conditional loss- and gain-of-function mouse models for N ...

Photodynamic drug delivery enhancement in tumours does not depend on leukocyte-endothelial interaction in a human mesothelioma xenograft model

Hubert van den Bergh, Elodie Debefve, Hans-Anton Lehr

OBJECTIVES: The pre-treatment of tumour neovessels by low-level photodynamic therapy (PDT) improves the distribution of concomitantly administered systemic chemotherapy. The mechanism by which PDT permeabilizes the tumour vessel wall is only partially know ...

Protein-Binding Microarray Analysis of Tumor Suppressor AP2 alpha Target Gene Specificity

Horst Vogel, Luigino Grasso, Jan Kerschgens, Tanja Egener-Kuhn, Nicolas Mermod, Hans-Anton Lehr

Cheap and massively parallel methods to assess the DNA-binding specificity of transcription factors are actively sought, given their prominent regulatory role in cellular processes and diseases. Here we evaluated the use of protein-binding microarrays (PBM ...

ZEB1 limits adenoviral infectability by transcriptionally repressing the coxsackie virus and adenovirus receptor

Debora Keller

We have previously reported that RAS-MEK (Cancer Res. 2003 May 1;63(9):2088-95) and TGF-β (Cancer Res. 2006 Feb 1;66(3):1648-57) signaling negatively regulate coxsackie virus and adenovirus receptor (CAR) cell-surface expression and adenovirus uptake. In t ...

Tumor cell invasion is promoted by interstitial flow-induced matrix priming by stromal fibroblasts

Melody Swartz, Boris Hinz, Adrian Chung-Kai Shieh

Interstitial flow emanates from tumors into the microenvironment where it promotes tumor cell invasion. Fibroblasts are key constituents of the tumor stroma that modulate the mechanical environment by matrix remodeling and contraction. Here, we explore how ...

Two mutations in human BICC1 resulting in Wnt pathway hyperactivity associated with cystic renal dysplasia

Daniel Constam, Marine Marie Kraus, Anne Grapin-Botton

Bicaudal C homologue 1 (Bicc1) knockout in mice causes polycystic kidney disease and pancreas development defects, including a reduction in insulin-producing β-cells and ensuing diabetes. We therefore screened 137 patients with renal abnormalities or assoc ...

Imaging guided trials of the angiogenesis inhibitor sunitinib in mouse models predict efficacy in pancreatic neuroendocrine but not ductal carcinoma

Douglas Hanahan

Preclinical trials in mice represent a critical step in the evaluation of experimental therapeutics. Genetically engineered mouse models (GEMMs) represent a promising platform for the evaluation of drugs, particularly those targeting the tumor microenviron ...

Regulation of tumor invasion by interstitial fluid flow

Melody Swartz, Adrian Chung-Kai Shieh

The importance of the tumor microenvironment in cancer progression is undisputed, yet the significance of biophysical forces in the microenvironment remains poorly understood. Interstitial fluid flow is a nearly ubiquitous and physiologically relevant biop ...

Effects of Photodynamic Therapy in Combination with Anti-Angiogenic Drugs on the Chicken Chorioallantoic Membrane Model

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is clinically-approved in the treatment of angiogenic disorders, particularly eye diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and skin cancers, such as basal cell carcinoma. PDT causes vascular occlusion resulting in ...
