Vasculogenic mimicry in small cell lung cancer
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is characterized by prevalent circulating tumour cells (CTCs), early metastasis and poor prognosis. We show that SCLC patients (37/38) have rare CTC subpopulations co-expressing vascular endothelial-cadherin (VE-cadherin) and cytokeratins consistent with vasculogenic mimicry (VM), a process whereby tumour cells form 'endothelial-like' vessels. Single-cell genomic a...
متن کاملSignalling pathways in vasculogenic mimicry.
Solid tumour growth is dependent on the development of an adequate blood supply. For years, sprouting angiogenesis has been considered an exclusive mechanism of tumour vascularization. However, over the last years, several other mechanisms have been identified, including vessel-co-option, intussusception, recruitment of endothelial precursor cells (EPCs) and even mechanisms that do not involve ...
متن کاملVasculogenic mimicry and tumor metastasis.
Vasculogenic mimicry (VM), a microvascular channel made up of nonendothelial cells, has been accepted as a new model of neovascularization in aggressive tumors, owning to the specific capacity of malignant cells to form vessel-like networks which provide sufficient blood supply for tumor growth. Multiple molecular mechanisms, especially vascular endothelial (VE)-cadherin, erythropoietin-produci...

form the results of the first randomized study comparing conventional chemotherapy plus novel agents to tandem high-dose melphalan and ASCT in 402 newly diagnosed MM patients. At the time of the report, with a short follow up, there was no significant difference in OS between the two groups, but PFS was significantly improved in the early HDT arm. Two other ongoing trials, one conducted by the ...
متن کاملVasculogenic mimicry and tumour-cell plasticity: lessons from melanoma.
The gene-expression profile of aggressive cutaneous and uveal melanoma cells resembles that of an undifferentiated, embryonic-like cell. The plasticity of certain types of cancer cell could explain their ability to mimic the activities of endothelial cells and to participate in processes such as neovascularization and the formation of a fluid-conducting, matrix-rich meshwork. This ability has b...
