چکیده
Supplementary Figure 1. Total number of MDA-MB-231 cells is conserved in four micropattern design. (a): Green fluorescence protein expression measured by plate reader after cell lysis served as an accurate measure of cell number in the culture. (b): MDA-MB-231 cells harvested from four micropatterns had similar amount of cells, with none of the groups having statistical difference from the other groups (p<0.05, one-way ANOVA). (a,b) n=4 for each condition. Error bars: SD.

Resolving cancer-stroma interfacial signalling and interventions with micropatterned tumour-stromal assays.
Tumour-stromal interactions are a determining factor in cancer progression. In vivo, the interaction interface is associated with spatially resolved distributions of cancer and stromal phenotypes. Here, we establish a micropatterned tumour-stromal assay (μTSA) with laser capture microdissection to control the location of co-cultured cells and analyse bulk and interfacial tumour-stromal signalli...
متن کاملTargeting Stromal-Cancer Cell Crosstalk Networks in Ovarian Cancer Treatment.
Ovarian cancer is a histologically, clinically, and molecularly diverse disease with a five-year survival rate of less than 30%. It has been estimated that approximately 21,980 new cases of epithelial ovarian cancer will be diagnosed and 14,270 deaths will occur in the United States in 2015, making it the most lethal gynecologic malignancy. Ovarian tumor tissue is composed of cancer cells and a...
متن کاملPossible Association of CD68 Positive Macrophages with Some other Prognostic Factors (ki67, ER, PR, Her2 neu) in Primary Breast Cancer and Axillary Lymph Node Metastasis
Background: Breast cancer is formed of a neoplastic component (epithelial) and a non-neoplastic component (stroma). Stromal- stromal and tumor- stromal interactions have been shown in the regulation of cancer cell growth, metastatic capacity and outcome of treatment. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are a component of tumor stroma reactionsand are considered as an important ...
متن کاملDirectionally specific paracrine communication mediated by epithelial FGF9 to stromal FGFR3 in two-compartment premalignant prostate tumors.
Tissue homeostasis in normal prostate and two-compartment nonmalignant prostate tumors depends on harmonious two-way communications between epithelial and stromal compartments. Within the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family, signaling to an epithelial cell-specific FGF receptor (FGFR) 2IIIb-heparan sulfate complex from stromal-specific FGF7 and FGF10 delivers directionally specific instructio...
متن کاملHeterogeneous Stromal Signaling within the Tumor Microenvironment Controls the Metastasis of Pancreatic Cancer.
Understanding how stromal signals regulate the development of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) may suggest novel therapeutic interventions in this disease. In this study, we assessed the metastatic role of stromal signals suggested to be important in the PDAC microenvironment. Src and IGF-1R phosphorylated the prometastatic molecule Annexin A2 (AnxA2) at Y23 and Y333 in response to strom...
