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-Associated Macrophages Contribute to Tumor Progression in Ovarian Cancer
Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death in women with gynecological malignancy and improvements in current treatments are needed. As with many other solid cancers, the ovarian tumor microenvironment is emerging as a key player in tumor progression and a potential therapeutic target. The tumor microenvironment contains several non-malignant cell types that are known to contribute to tumor p...
متن کاملCancer Progression Related with Tumor-associated Macrophages
Tumor-associated macrophages are one of the main populations of inflammatory cells in cancers that favor tumor cell growth and survival. Tumor-derived factors such as VEGF-A and CSF-1 recruit the macrophages in tumor micro environment and alter their phenotype in M1 to M2 or tumor-associated macrophages by secretion of several cytokines including IL-4, IL-13 and VEGF-A. In return tumor-associat...
متن کاملThe role of tumor-associated macrophages in breast cancer progression
It is well established that the tumor microenvironment plays a major role in the aggressive behavior of malignant solid tumors. Among cell types associated with tumor microenvironment, tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are the most influential for tumor progression. Breast cancer is characterized by having a large population of TAMs, and experimental models have exposed multiple mechanisms by...
متن کاملModulation of tumor associated macrophages in solid tumors.
It is becoming increasingly clear that interactions between cancer cells, stroma cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM) are pivotal to the processes of neovascularization and tumorigenesis. As tumor stromal components known as tumor associated macrophages (TAMs), mononuclear phagocytes can play a key role in tumor type specific neoangiogenesis by promoting remodeling of the ECM through the pr...
