Inflammatory Alterations of the Extracellular Matrix in the Tumor Microenvironment
Complex interactions between cancer cells and host stromal cells result in the formation of the "tumor microenvironment", where inflammatory alterations involve the infiltration of tumor-associated fibroblasts and inflammatory leukocytes that contribute to the acquisition of malignant characteristics, such as increased cancer cell proliferation, invasiveness, metastasis, angiogenesis, and avoid...
متن کاملRecapitulating the human tumor microenvironment: Colon tumor-derived extracellular matrix promotes angiogenesis and tumor cell growth.
Extracellular matrix (ECM) is an essential and dynamic component of all tissues and directly affects cellular behavior by providing both mechanical and biochemical signaling cues. Changes in ECM can alter tissue homeostasis, potentially leading to promotion of cellular transformation and the generation of tumors. Therefore, understanding ECM compositional changes during cancer progression is vi...
متن کاملExtracellular Matrix Microenvironment in Glioma Progression
Malignant gliomas are primary brain tumors, which are highly invasive but not known to metastasize outside the central nervous system (CNS). The median survival time of patients with glioma is only 6 months to 2 years depending on various patient, tumor and treatment parameters (Louis et al. 2007). The highly aggressive character of gliomas with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) being the most aggr...
متن کاملTumor microenvironment in cancer progression
Keywords: tumor microenvironment; Heat-shock Factor 1 (HSF1) Billions of years of evolution through changing environments led organisms to develop an arsenal of cytoprotec-tive pathways to promote their survival under stressful conditions. We hypothesized that tumors exploit these mechanisms to support their own survival as they rapidly develop and evolve in a hostile and stressful environment....
متن کاملFunction of cancer cell-derived extracellular matrix in tumor progression
Extracellular matrix (ECM) is an essential component of the tumor microenvironment. Cancer development and progression are associated with increased ECM deposition and crosslink. The chemical and physical signals elicited from ECM are necessary for cancer cell proliferation and invasion. It is well recognized that stromal cells are a major source of ECM proteins. However, recent studies showed ...
