Noninvasive multiparametric imaging of metastasis-permissive microenvironments in a human prostate cancer xenograft.
Metastasis continues to be one of the major causes of mortality from prostate cancer. Because human malignant cell lines metastasize more readily from orthotopic sites than from heterotopic sites, to identify metastasis-permissive tumor microenvironments, we used noninvasive imaging to compare the in vivo vascular, metabolic, and physiologic characteristics of a human prostate cancer xenograft ...
متن کاملEMT and MET: necessary or permissive for metastasis?
Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and its reverse mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition (MET) have been suggested to play crucial roles in metastatic dissemination of carcinomas. These phenotypic transitions between states are not binary. Instead, carcinoma cells often exhibit a spectrum of epithelial/mesenchymal phenotype(s). While epithelial/mesenchymal plasticity has been observed pr...
متن کامل3D bioprinting: improving in vitro models of metastasis with heterogeneous tumor microenvironments
Even with many advances in treatment over the past decades, cancer still remains a leading cause of death worldwide. Despite the recognized relationship between metastasis and increased mortality rate, surprisingly little is known about the exact mechanism of metastatic progression. Currently available in vitro models cannot replicate the three-dimensionality and heterogeneity of the tumor micr...
متن کاملInfluence of matrix and fluid microenvironments on cancer cell migration, survival, and metastasis
Metastasis is the most common cause of lethality in patients with solid tumors. This complex cascade of events begins with invasion of local tissue by cancer cells of the primary tumor and eventually leads to dissemination of cancer cells through the bloodstream. In order to colonize a distant tissue, circulating cancer cells must first survive the physical stresses within the vasculature, and ...
متن کاملTissue resident memory T cells create genetically distinct immune microenvironments within melanoma metastasis
Blockade of inhibitory immune checkpoints (ICPs) improves survival in melanoma patients. Interestingly, the expression of these ICPs in most tumor tissues including melanoma is restricted to only a subset of tumor-infiltrating immune cells (TIICs). Here, we utilize single cell mass cytometry (CyTOF), functional profiling and TCR sequencing of freshly isolated cells to evaluate the phenotypic, f...
