Egfl7 promotes tumor escape from immunity
Egfl7 is an endothelial-specific gene which expression is deregulated in human cancers. We showed that Egfl7 promotes tumor escape from immunity by downregulating the expression of leukocyte adhesion molecules in endothelial cells, thus repressing immune cell extravasation into tumors.
متن کاملMolecular and Cellular Pathobiology Egfl7 Promotes Tumor Escape from Immunity by Repressing Endothelial Cell Activation
Downregulating the leukocyte adhesion molecules expressed by endothelial cells that line tumor blood vessels can limit the entry of immune effector cells into the tumormass, thereby contributing to tumoral immune escape. Egfl7 (also known as VE-statin) is a secreted protein specifically expressed by endothelial cells in normal tissues and by cancer cells in various human tumors. High levels of ...
متن کاملInteraction of viral oncogenic proteins with the Wnt signaling pathway
It is estimated that up to 20% of all types of human cancers worldwide are attributed to viruses. The genome of oncogenic viruses carries genes that have protein products that act as oncoproteins in cell proliferation and transformation. The modulation of cell cycle control mechanisms, cellular regulatory and signaling pathways by oncogenic viruses, plays an important role in viral carcinogenes...
متن کاملAlveologenesis: key cellular players and fibroblast growth factor 10 signaling
BACKGROUND Alveologenesis is the last stage in lung development and is essential for building the gas-exchanging units called alveoli. Despite intensive lung research, the intricate crosstalk between mesenchymal and epithelial cell lineages during alveologenesis is poorly understood. This crosstalk contributes to the formation of the secondary septae, which are key structures of healthy alveoli...
متن کاملMalaria parasite Pfs47 disrupts JNK signaling to escape mosquito immunity.
Malaria is a devastating disease that accounts for nearly one million deaths every year. Caused by parasites of the genus Plasmodium, malaria transmission requires the bite of a mosquito to transmit the parasite from one host to another. Thus, understanding the parasite life cycle in the mosquito host is of prime importance. In PNAS, Ramphul et al. (1) show that a protein, Pfs47, expressed in t...
