Hypothyroidism Enhances Tumor Invasiveness and Metastasis Development
BACKGROUND Whereas there is increasing evidence that loss of expression and/or function of the thyroid hormone receptors (TRs) could result in a selective advantage for tumor development, the relationship between thyroid hormone levels and human cancer is a controversial issue. It has been reported that hypothyroidism might be a possible risk factor for liver and breast cancer in humans, but a ...
متن کاملHeparanase gene silencing, tumor invasiveness, angiogenesis, and metastasis.
BACKGROUND Heparanase is an endoglycosidase that degrades heparan sulfate, the main polysaccharide constituent of the extracellular matrix and basement membrane. Expression of the heparanase gene is associated with the invasive, angiogenic, and metastatic potential of diverse malignant tumors and cell lines. We used gene-silencing strategies to evaluate the role of heparanase in malignancy and ...
متن کاملMacrophage Diversity Enhances Tumor Progression and Metastasis
There is persuasive clinical and experimental evidence that macrophages promote cancer initiation and malignant progression. During tumor initiation, they create an inflammatory environment that is mutagenic and promotes growth. As tumors progress to malignancy, macrophages stimulate angiogenesis, enhance tumor cell migration and invasion, and suppress antitumor immunity. At metastatic sites, m...
متن کاملDLX4 Upregulates TWIST and Enhances Tumor Migration, Invasion and Metastasis
The distal-less homeobox gene 4 (DLX4) is a member of the DLX family of homeobox genes. Although absent from most normal adult tissues, DLX4 is widely expressed in leukemia, lung, breast, ovarian and prostate cancers. However the molecular targets, mechanisms and pathways that mediate the role of DLX4 in tumor metastasis are poorly understood. In this study, we found that DLX4 induces cancer ce...
متن کاملUp-regulation of GPR48 Induced by Down-regulation of p27 Enhances Carcinoma Cell Invasiveness and Metastasis
A reduced expression level of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p27 is associated with increased tumor malignancy and poor prognosis in individuals with various types of cancer. To investigate the basis for this relation, we applied microarray analysis to screen for genes differentially expressed between p27 and parental (p27) HCT116 human colon carcinoma cells. Expression of the gene for G...
