Targeting Breast Cancer Metastasis
Metastasis is the leading cause of breast cancer-associated deaths. Despite the significant improvement in current therapies in extending patient life, 30-40% of patients may eventually suffer from distant relapse and succumb to the disease. Consequently, a deeper understanding of the metastasis biology is key to developing better treatment strategies and achieving long-lasting therapeutic effi...
متن کاملTargeting RANKL in metastasis
Acting through its cognate receptor, receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB (RANK), RANK ligand (RANKL) is an essential mediator of osteoclast function and survival. Preclinical data have now firmly established that blockade of tumor-induced osteoclastogenesis by RANKL inhibition will not only protect against bone destruction but will also inhibit the progression of established bone metastases...
متن کاملTargeting lemurs against cancer metastasis
Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of mortality in females worldwide. Despite the great improvement in survival rates the last two decades, relapsed disease with metastasis still remains the most poorly understood aspect of cancer pathogenesis [1]. Consequently, there is a growing need to identify so-called new ‘players’ implicated in this process. Lemur...
متن کاملTargeting invadopodia to block breast cancer metastasis
Better understanding the mechanisms underlying the metastatic process is essential to developing novel targeted therapeutics. Recently, invadopodia have been increasingly recognized as important drivers of local invasion in metastasis. Invadopodia are basally-localized, actin-rich structures that concentrate protease activity to areas of the cell in contact with the extracellular matrix. We rec...
متن کاملTargeting Metastasis with Snake Toxins: Molecular Mechanisms
Metastasis involves the migration of cancer cells from a primary tumor to invade and establish secondary tumors in distant organs, and it is the main cause for cancer-related deaths. Currently, the conventional cytostatic drugs target the proliferation of malignant cells, being ineffective in metastatic disease. This highlights the need to find new anti-metastatic drugs. Toxins isolated from sn...
