Microenvironment and Immunology Snail1-Expressing Fibroblasts in the Tumor Microenvironment Display Mechanical Properties That Support Metastasis
Crosstalk between tumor and stromal cells in the tumormicroenvironment alter its properties in ways that facilitate the invasive behavior of tumor cells. Here, we demonstrate that cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) increase the stiffness of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and promote anisotropic fiber orientation, two mechanical signals generated through a Snail1/RhoA/aSMA– dependent mechanism ...

متن کاملThe role of microRNA-30a and downstream snail1 on the growth and metastasis of melanoma tumor
Objective(s): Growing evidences have indicated microRNAs as modulators of tumor development and aggression. On the other hand, a phenomenon known as epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) that indicates a transient phase from epithelial-like features to mesenchymal phenotype is a key player in tumor progression. In this study, we aimed to assess the potential impacts...
متن کاملMicroenvironment and Immunology Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts Expressing CXCL14 Rely upon NOS1-Derived Nitric Oxide Signaling for Their Tumor- Supporting Properties
Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) stimulate tumor growth and metastasis. Signals supporting CAF function are thus emerging as candidate therapeutic targets in the tumor microenvironment. The chemokine CXCL14 is a potent inducer of CAF protumorigenic functions. This study is aimed at learning how the protumoral functions of CXCL14-expressing CAF are maintained. We found that the nitric oxide s...
متن کاملTumor Inflammatory Microenvironment in EMT and Metastasis
Approximately 90% of cancer-related death is caused by metastasis. The increased motility and invasiveness of metastatic tumor cells is reminiscent of events that occur at the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), which is a characteristic that occurs during embryonic development, tissue remodeling, wound healing and metastasis. Interestingly, EMT is a dynamic process and mainly occurs at th...
