Rapid Copper Acquisition by Developing Murine Mesothelioma: Decreasing Bioavailable Copper Slows Tumor Growth, Normalizes Vessels and Promotes T Cell Infiltration
Copper, an essential trace element acquired through nutrition, is an important co-factor for pro-angiogenic factors including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Decreasing bioavailable copper has been used as an anti-angiogenic and anti-cancer strategy with promising results. However, the role of copper and its potential as a therapy in mesothelioma is not yet well understood. Therefore...
متن کاملHedgehog signaling promotes prostate xenograft tumor growth.
During fetal prostate development, Sonic hedgehog (Shh) expression by the urogenital sinus epithelium activates Gli-1 expression in the adjacent mesenchyme and promotes outgrowth of the nascent ducts. Shh signaling is down-regulated at the conclusion of prostate ductal development. However, a survey of adult human prostate tissues reveals substantial levels of Shh signaling in normal, hyperplas...
متن کاملSonic Hedgehog Signaling Promotes Tumor Growth
Introduction: Several reports have highlighted the role of Hh pathway activation in prostatecancer growth, but the relative contributions of autocrine and paracrine signaling remain unclear.Divergent reports of the presence or absence of autocrine signaling in established human prostatecancer cell lines has not clarified the matter.Materials and Methods: We comprehensively c...
متن کاملS100A9 Interaction with TLR4 Promotes Tumor Growth
By breeding TRAMP mice with S100A9 knock-out (S100A9(-/-)) animals and scoring the appearance of palpable tumors we observed a delayed tumor growth in animals devoid of S100A9 expression. CD11b(+) S100A9 expressing cells were not observed in normal prostate tissue from control C57BL/6 mice but were readily detected in TRAMP prostate tumors. Also, S100A9 expression was observed in association wi...
متن کاملHyaluronan promotes tumor lymphangiogenesis and intralymphantic tumor growth in xenografts.
Hyaluronan (HA), a high molecular weight glycosaminoglycan in the extracellular matrix, has been implicated in the promotion of malignant phenotypes, including tumor angiogenesis. However, little is known about the effect of HA on tumor-associated lymphangiogenesis. In this study, mouse hepatocellular carcinoma Hca-F cells combined with or without HA were injected subcutaneously into C3H/Hej mi...
