Interstitial flow influences direction of tumor cell migration through competing mechanisms.
Interstitial flow is the convective transport of fluid through tissue extracellular matrix. This creeping fluid flow has been shown to affect the morphology and migration of cells such as fibroblasts, cancer cells, endothelial cells, and mesenchymal stem cells. A microfluidic cell culture system was designed to apply stable pressure gradients and fluid flow and allow direct visualization of tra...
متن کاملMicrotopography and flow modulate the direction of endothelial cell migration.
The migration of vascular endothelial cells under flow can be modulated by the addition of chemical or mechanical stimuli. The aim of this study was to investigate how topographic cues derived from a substrate containing three-dimensional microtopography interact with fluid shear stress in directing endothelial cell migration. Subconfluent bovine aortic endothelial cells were seeded on fibronec...
متن کاملTumor Cell Migration Through Tissue Microenvironments
Three-dimensional (3-D) molecular contacts, contributed by the basement membrane, ECM, and adjacent cells, provide an architectural context within which a normal cell functions. Adhesive structures are physical connections between the cytoskeleton (CSK) and the ECM (an extracellularmatrix connection) or between the CSK and the CSK of other cells (a cell-cell connection). There are several adhes...
متن کاملPhysiological mechanisms of tumor-cell invasion and migration.
Recent advances in understanding the complex biology of the microenvironment that underlies tumor invasion and migration have revealed novel and promising therapeutic targets. Pharmacological blockade of intra- and extracellular signaling events that regulate migration and survival of multiple cell types may disrupt the host-tumor conspiracy that allows escape from normal developmental regulation.
متن کاملTwo competing influences that may explain concomitant tumor resistance.
A second tumor inoculum is often inhibited in its growth by the presence in the recipient animal of an earlier implanted, growing tumor. The tumor resulting from the first inoculum may, paradoxically, continue to grow despite the simultaneous inhibition of the growth of the second inoculum, a phenomenon usually called "concomitant immunity." Evidence now suggests that the phenomenon can be obse...
