Altered macrophage differentiation and immune dysfunction in tumor development.
Tumors require a constant influx of myelomonocytic cells to support the angiogenesis and stroma remodeling needed for their growth. This is mediated by tumor-derived factors, which cause sustained myelopoiesis and the accumulation and functional differentiation of myelomonocytic cells, most of which are macrophages, at the tumor site. An important side effect of the accumulation and functional ...
متن کاملTumor-induced immune dysfunction: the macrophage connection.
Although macrophages (Mphis) mediate tumor cytotoxicity, display tumor-associated antigens, and stimulate antitumor lymphocytes, cancer cells routinely circumvent these host-mediated immune activities, rendering the host incapable of mounting a successful antitumor immune response. Evidence supporting a direct causal relationship between cancer and immune dysfunction suggests that the presence ...
متن کاملMacrophage heterogeneity in development and differentiation.
Macrophages, which are heterogeneous populations existing in various tissues and organs, are responsible for numerous metabolic, immunological, and inflammatory processes in physiological and pathological conditions. Macrophage heterogeneity is observed from early ontogeny. Primitive macrophages first develop in yolk sac hematopoiesis, by-passing the differentiation pathway of the monocytic ser...
متن کاملTargeting FSTL1 prevents tumor bone metastasis and consequent immune dysfunction.
Bone metastasis greatly deteriorates the quality of life in patients with cancer. Although mechanisms have been widely investigated, the relationship between cancer bone metastasis and antitumor immunity in the host has been much less studied. Here, we report a novel mechanism of bone metastasis mediated by FSTL1, a follistatin-like glycoprotein secreted by Snail(+) tumor cells, which metastasi...
متن کاملAltered expression and localization of 5-lipoxygenase accompany macrophage differentiation in the lung.
The alveolar macrophage (AM) exhibits a greater capacity to synthesize bioactive leukotrienes from arachidonic acid than does its circulating precursor the peripheral blood monocyte. Macrophage differentiation in the lung entails cellular residence within both the pulmonary interstitial and alveolar compartments. In the present study, we sought to determine 1) whether this enhanced metabolic ac...
