Role of stromal cell-derived factor 1α pathway in bone metastatic prostate cancer
نویسندگان
چکیده
Metastatic prostate cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death in men. The primary site of metastasis from prostate cancers is the bone. During the last decade, multiple studies have pointed to the role of the stromal cell-derived factor 1 alpha (SDF1α)/CXCR4 axis in the metastatic spread of the disease, but the mechanisms that underlie this effect are still incompletely understood. In this review, we summarize the current understanding of the role of the SDF1α/CXCR4 pathway in bone metastatic prostate cancer. We also discuss the therapeutic potential of disrupting the interaction between prostate tumor cells and bone environment with focus on the SDF1α pathway.

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells increase motility of prostate cancer cells via production of stromal cell-derived factor-1α
Prostate cancer frequently metastasizes to the bone, and the interaction between cancer cells and bone microenvironment has proven to be crucial in the establishment of new metastases. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) secrete various cytokines that can regulate the behaviour of neighbouring cell. However, little is known about the role of BM-MSCs in influencing the migration and the...

Objective(s): Chemokines are wound mediators that promote angiogenesis during wound healing. We hypothesized that Simvastatin in combination with the bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) improve burn wound healing by ameliorating angiogenesis via SDF-1α/CXCR4 pathway.Materials and Methods: Under general anesthesia, deep partial-...

Neoplasms have a striking tendency to metastasize or “home” to bone. Hematopoietic cells also home to bone during embryonic development, where evidence points to the chemokine stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1 or CXCL12; expressed by osteoblasts and endothelial cells) and its receptor (CXCR4) as key elements in these processes. We hypothesized that metastatic prostate carcinomas also use the...

متن کاملRat prostate adenocarcinoma cells disseminate to bone and adhere preferentially to bone marrow-derived endothelial cells.
Approximately 70% of patients with prostatic cancer develop bone metastases. Metastatic prostate adenocarcinomas are associated with high mortality rates and represent a leading cause of cancer-related deaths among males. To study the host-tumor interactions underlying the predilection of prostate cancer cells for skeletal bone, an experimental model was developed using rat Dunning carcinoma Ma...
