Cancer exosomes trigger mesenchymal stem cell differentiation into pro-angiogenic and pro-invasive myofibroblasts
Stromal fibroblasts become altered in response to solid cancers, to exhibit myofibroblastic characteristics, with disease promoting influence. Infiltrating mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) may contribute towards these changes, but the factors secreted by cancer cells that impact MSC differentiation are poorly understood. We investigated the role of nano-metre sized vesicles (exosomes), secreted by ...
متن کاملAsymmetric stem cell division in development and cancer.
Asymmetric stem cell division leads to another stem cell via self-renewal, and a second cell type which can be either a differentiating progenitor or a postmitotic cell. The regulation of this balanced process is mainly achieved by polarization of the stem cell along its apical-basal axis and the basal localization and asymmetric segregation of cell fate determinants solely to the differentiati...
متن کاملAsymmetric division: a marker for cancer stem cells?
Asymmetric cell division is a mechanism commonly used by stem cells in metazoan organisms to populate tissues and maintain homeostasis. During asymmetric division, a stem cell divides and generates a daughter stem cell for self-renewal and a daughter progenitor cell that undergoes further differentiation. In contrast to symmetric division, asymmetric division enables stem cells to self-renew an...
متن کاملConnecting Cancer to the Asymmetric Division of Stem Cells
Two studies, one in this issue of Cell and the other in Developmental Cell show that the cell-fate determinant Brain Tumor (Brat) suppresses self-renewal in one of the daughter cells that arise from the asymmetric division of a neural stem cell. This work suggests a mechanism by which loss of polarity in stem cells may lead to tumorigenesis.
متن کاملCytotoxic and Pro-Apoptotic Effects of Honey Bee Venom and Chrysin on Human Ovarian Cancer Cells
Background: The anti-cancer effects of honey bee venom (BV) and chrysin might open a new window for treatment of chemo-resistant cancers. This study was designed to evaluate cytotoxic and pro-apoptotic effects of BV and chrysin on A2780cp cistplatin- resistant human ovarian cancer cells. Methods: As per the study objectives, A2780cp cells were categorized to 4 groups: 3 experiment groups (treat...
