Tumor angiogenesis and progression are enhanced by Sema4D produced by tumor-associated macrophages
Increased evidence suggests that cancer-associated inflammation supports tumor growth and progression. We have previously shown that semaphorin 4D (Sema4D), a ligand produced by different cell types, is a proangiogenic molecule that acts by binding to its receptor, plexin B1, expressed on endothelial cells (Conrotto, P., D. Valdembri, S. Corso, G. Serini, L. Tamagnone, P.M. Comoglio, F. Bussoli...
متن کاملBreast Tumor Angiogenesis and Tumor-Associated Macrophages: Histopathologist's Perspective
Much progress has been made since the conceptualization of tumor angiogenesis-the induction of growth of new blood vessels by tumor-as a salient feature of clinically significant primary or metastatic cancers. From a practicing histopathologist's point of view, we appraise the application of this concept in breast cancer with particular reference to the evaluation of proangiogenic factors and t...
متن کاملRole of tumor associated macrophages in tumor angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis
Tumor angiogenesis is an essential process for supplying rapidly growing malignant tissues with essential nutrients and oxygen. An angiogenic switch allows tumor cells to survive and grow, and provides them access to vasculature resulting in metastatic disease. Monocyte-derived macrophages recruited and reprogrammed by tumor cells serve as a major source of angiogenic factors boosting the angio...
متن کاملPromotion of Sema4D expression by tumor-associated macrophages: Significance in gastric carcinoma
AIM To study the role of semaphorin 4D (Sema4D) expression promoted by tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) in gastric carcinoma cells and its clinical significance in the invasion and metastasis of gastric carcinoma. METHODS CD68 and Sema4D expression was analyzed in gastric carcinoma and adjacent normal tissues from 290 patients using the immunohistochemical streptavidin-peroxidase method, a...
متن کاملModulation of Angiogenesis by Tumor Associated Macrophages in the Tumor Microenvironment
One of the common features of solid tumors is hypoxia is a common feature of solid tumors. Some of these factors, such as monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) and granulocytemacrophage colony-stimulating factor (GMCSF), are potent chemokines chemotactic toward the monocytes in nearby blood vessels [6]. Monocytes are thus continually recruited into tumors, differentiated into TAMs, and then ac...
