P157: Periostin Recruits Tumor Associated Macrophages in Glioblastoma Multiform
Glioblastoma multiform (GBM) is the most common and lethal type of primary brain tumors with high rates of morbidity and mortality. Treatment options are limited and ineffective in most of the cases. Epidemiological studies have shown a link between inflammation and glioma genesis. In addition, at the molecular level, pro-inflammatory cytokines released from activated microglia can increa...
متن کاملTumor necrosis factor: a potent mediator of macrophage-dependent tumor-cell killing.
Macrophages (Me/» can be activated to show highly selective cytotoxicity toward malignant cells in vitro [6, 8, 9, 13, 14] and there is some evidence that they may destroy neoplastic cells in vivo [1]. The importance of activated Me/> (aMe/» in controlling tumor growth in vivo has been further implicated in experiments involving murine ultraviolet light (UV)-induced tumors, which are highly imm...
متن کاملMonocyte chemotactic and activating factor is a potent histamine- releasing factor for human basophils
Recombinant monocyte chemotactic-activating factor (MCAF) has been shown to induce histamine release from human basophils with a dose response between 10(-9) and 10(-6) M. The peak of activity was reached at 10(-7) M. Histamine release by MCAF was rapid with an initial rate comparable with histamine release by an optimal dose of anti-IgE. MCAF led to peak histamine release within 1 min. 80% of ...
متن کاملMonocyte chemotactic and activating factor is a potent histamine-releasing factor for basophils.
Monocyte chemotactic and activating factor (MCAF) is a recently cloned cytokine that causes chemotaxis of basophils. In our pursuit of cytokines affecting basophil function, we studied the effect of MCAF on histamine secretion from basophils. Leukocytes from 20 donors, 10 allergic and 10 normal subjects, were studied. MCAF caused dose-dependent release of histamine at concentrations of 10(-8) a...
متن کاملChemotactic factor-induced adherence of tumor cells.
Two peptides which have previously been shown to induce chemotactic motility in a number of tumor cells were tested for their ability to alter the adhesiveness of Walker Carcinosarcoma cells (A chemotactically-responsive rat tumor) and normal rat fibroblasts (which have previously been shown to be chemotactically nonresponsive). Adherence of the tumor cells to nylon fibers was increased in a do...
