Elucidating the role of lymphatic vessels within the tumor microenvironment of breast cancer

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide, with an estimated 1.7 million newly diagnosed cases in 2012. Despite the many clinical manifestations, metastatic disease is the main cause of death, and is responsible for 90% of all breast cance ...

Origins of brain tumor macrophages

Michele De Palma

The ontogeny of brain-tumor-associated macrophages is poorly understood. New findings indicate that both resident microglia and blood-derived monocytes generate the pool of macrophages that infiltrate brain tumors of either primary or metastatic origin. ...

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 ...

Notch1-WISP-1 axis determines the regulatory role of mesenchymal stem cell-derived stromal fibroblasts in melanoma metastasis

Freddy Radtke

Mesenchymal stem cells-derived fibroblasts (MSC-DF) constitute a significant portion of stromal fibroblasts in the tumor microenvironment (TME) and are key modulators of tumor progression. However, the molecular mechanisms that determine their tumor-regula ...

Functional malignant cell heterogeneity in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors revealed by targeting of PDGF-DD

Iacovos Michael

Intratumoral heterogeneity is an inherent feature of most human cancers and has profound implications for cancer therapy. As a result, there is an emergent need to explore previously unmapped mechanisms regulating distinct subpopulations of tumor cells and ...

TLR-3 stimulation improves anti-tumor immunity elicited by dendritic cell exosome-based vaccines in a murine model of melanoma

Eleonora Simeoni, Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, David Scott Wilson, Martina Damo

Dendritic cell (DC)-derived exosomes (Dexo) contain the machinery necessary to activate potent antigen-specific immune responses. As promising cell-free immunogens, Dexo have been tested in previous clinical trials for cancer vaccine immunotherapy, yet res ...

Notch1 Pathway Activity Determines the Regulatory Role of Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts in Melanoma Growth and Invasion

Freddy Radtke

Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) play a crucial role in regulating cancer progression, yet the molecular determinant that governs the tumor regulatory role of CAF remains unknown. Using a mouse melanoma model in which exogenous melanoma cells were graft ...

Bicyclic Peptides Conjugated to an Albumin-Binding Tag Diffuse Efficiently into Solid Tumors

Christian Heinis, Stephane Kontos, Alessandro Angelini, Sandeep Raghunathan, Lisa Pollaro, Julia Morales Sanfrutos

Monoclonal antibodies have long in vivo half-lives and reach high concentrations in tumors but cannot access all regions in the tissue, whereas smaller ligands such as peptides distribute better but are limited by low concentrations due to fast renal clear ...

ADAM17 Promotes Motility, Invasion, and Sprouting of Lymphatic Endothelial Cells

Melody Swartz, Witold Waldemar Kilarski, Renata Katarzyna Mezyk-Kopec

Tumor-associated lymphatic vessels actively participate in tumor progression and dissemination. ADAM17, a sheddase for numerous growth factors, cytokines, receptors, and cell adhesion molecules, is believed to promote tumor development, facilitating both t ...

In vivo anti-tumor activity of the organometallic ruthenium(II)-arene complex [Ru(eta(6)-p-cymene)-Cl-2(pta)] (RAPTA-C) in human ovarian and colorectal carcinomas

Paul Joseph Dyson, Patrycja Nowak-Sliwinska, Maxime Dubois

Based on the clinical success of platinum-based anti-cancer drugs such as cisplatin, carboplatin and oxaliplatin, a variety of other metal-based anti-cancer compounds are being investigated. In particular, a number of ruthenium-based compounds have been id ...
