Fibroblast activation protein α in tumor microenvironment: Recent progression and implications (Review)
Accumulated evidence has demonstrated that the microenvironment of a given tumor is important in determining its drug resistance, tumorigenesis, progression and metastasis. These microenvironments, like tumor cells, are vital targets for cancer therapy. The cross-talk between tumor cells and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs, alternatively termed activated fibroblasts) is crucial in regulatin...
متن کاملTumor microenvironment in cancer progression
Keywords: tumor microenvironment; Heat-shock Factor 1 (HSF1) Billions of years of evolution through changing environments led organisms to develop an arsenal of cytoprotec-tive pathways to promote their survival under stressful conditions. We hypothesized that tumors exploit these mechanisms to support their own survival as they rapidly develop and evolve in a hostile and stressful environment....
متن کاملShort hairpin RNA targeting of fibroblast activation protein inhibits tumor growth and improves the tumor microenvironment in a mouse model
Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is a specific serine protease expressed in tumor stroma proven to be a stimulatory factor in the progression of some cancers. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of FAP knockdown on tumor growth and the tumor microenvironment. Mice bearing 4T1 subcutaneous tumors were treated with liposome-shRNA complexes targeting FAP. Tumor volumes and ...
متن کاملFibroblast activation protein-α-expressing fibroblasts promote the progression of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
BACKGROUND Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is characterized by an extensive desmoplastic stromal response. Fibroblast activation protein-α (FAP) is best known for its presence in stromal cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). Our aim was to assess whether FAP expression was associated with the prognosis of patients with PDAC and to investigate how FAP expressing CAFs contribute to the pr...
متن کاملHuman Subperitoneal Fibroblast and Cancer Cell Interaction Creates Microenvironment That Enhances Tumor Progression and Metastasis
BACKGROUNDS Peritoneal invasion in colon cancer is an important prognostic factor. Peritoneal invasion can be objectively identified as periotoneal elastic laminal invasion (ELI) by using elastica stain, and the cancer microenvironment formed by the peritoneal invasion (CMPI) can also be observed. Cases with ELI more frequently show distant metastasis and recurrence. Therefore, CMPI may represe...
