Vasculogenic mimicry of human ovarian cancer cells: role of CD147.
The term vasculogenic mimicry (VM) indicates the process by which aggressive tumor cells are able to generate in vitro non-endothelial cell-lined channels delimited by extracellular matrix. Although VM has been described in several human malignancies, the molecular basis of this phenomenon is not entirely understood. In the present study, we examined VM in two ovarian cancer cell lines with dif...
متن کاملPractical application of angiogenesis and vasculogenic mimicry in prostatic adenocarcinoma.
BACKGROUND Tumor growth depends on vascular blood supply. The novel discovery of non-endothelialized vessel-like channels in malignant tumors called vasculogenic mimicry has provided new insights about tumor behavior and also serves as a potential target for drug therapy. Although the association between vasculogenic mimicry and poor prognosis has been established in some tumors, there are only...
متن کاملVasculogenic mimicry in small cell lung cancer
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is characterized by prevalent circulating tumour cells (CTCs), early metastasis and poor prognosis. We show that SCLC patients (37/38) have rare CTC subpopulations co-expressing vascular endothelial-cadherin (VE-cadherin) and cytokeratins consistent with vasculogenic mimicry (VM), a process whereby tumour cells form 'endothelial-like' vessels. Single-cell genomic a...
متن کاملAdvanced research on vasculogenic mimicry in cancer
Vasculogenic mimicry (VM) is a brand-new tumour vascular paradigm independent of angiogenesis that describes the specific capacity of aggressive cancer cells to form vessel-like networks that provide adequate blood supply for tumour growth. A variety of molecule mechanisms and signal pathways participate in VM induction. Additionally, cancer stem cell and epithelial-mesenchymal transitions are ...
متن کاملCancer stem cells: therapeutic targets
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) have been identified as rare cellular populations in many cancers, including leukemia and solid tumors. This minor subpopulation of cancerous cells is immortal tumor-initiating cells which thought to be responsible for cancer initiation, progression, metastasis, recurrence and drug/radiation resistance. Low proliferative rate, high self-renewing capacity, differentiatio...
