A wound-healing program is hijacked to promote cancer metastasis
نویسنده
چکیده
In this issue of JEM, Sundaram et al. (https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20170354) report a mechanism by which the normal epithelial wound healing response is "hijacked" to promote invasion and metastasis in head and neck squamous carcinomas (HNSCCs), a finding that unveils new markers of poor outcomes and potential targets for therapeutic intervention.

Primary cancer cell dissemination is a key event during the metastatic cascade, but context-specific determinants of this process remain largely undefined. Multiple reports have suggested that the p53 (TP53) family member p63 (TP63) plays an antimetastatic role through its minor epithelial isoform containing the N-terminal transactivation domain (TAp63). However, the role and contribution of th...
متن کاملGreen tea extract formulation may promote wound healing
Wound repair is a natural reaction to injury, which results in restoration of tissue integrity. In this study the healing effect of green tea extract formulation was investigated on open skin wound of rabbit. Active ingredients were extracted from green tea using water and glycerin (4:1) vehicle. Three cream formulations containing 2, 5 and 10% of green tea extract were prepared in the base. A ...

متن کاملFERM family proteins and their importance in cellular movements and wound healing (review).
Motility is a requirement for a number of biological processes, including embryonic development, neuronal development, immune responses, cancer progression and wound healing. Specific to wound healing is the migration of endothelial cells, fibroblasts and other key cellular players into the wound space. Aberrations in wound healing can result in either chronic wounds or abnormally healed wounds...
متن کاملEpithelial to mesenchymal transition concept in Cancer: Review article
Owing to this fact that most of the mortalities in cancers are as a result of metastasis, study on the involved pathways in metastasis including Epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) would be so critical and important. Up to date, several extensive studies have been carried out to determine the correlation between EMT and cancer and their results have shown that the EMT plays pivotal role ...
