Mechanisms of CXCR7 induction in malignant melanoma development
Malignant melanoma (MM) is a highly malignant skin tumor. The mechanism of MM pathogenesis and its signaling pathways are not well characterized. C-X-C chemokine receptor type 7 (CXCR7) has been reported to regulate cancer cell invasion. The present study sought to investigate the effects of CXCR7 on MM development.

CXCR7 stimulates MAPK signaling to regulate hepatocellular carcinoma progression [PDF]
AbstractThe CXCL12/CXCR4 axis has been posited widely to have significant roles in many primary tumors and metastases. It is known that CXCR7 can also be engaged by CXCL12, but the exact function of CXCR7 is controversial. This prompted us to investigate the expression, specific function and signal transduction of CXCR7 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)

Overexpression of CXCR7 accelerates tumor growth and metastasis of lung cancer cells
Background Under physiological conditions, CXCL12 modulates cell proliferation, survival, angiogenesis, and migration mainly through CXCR4. Interestingly, the newly discovered receptor CXCR7 for CXCL12 is highly expressed in many tumor cells as well as ...

Aberrant proliferation in CXCR7+ endothelial cells via degradation of the retinoblastoma protein. [PDF]
Angiogenesis is a critical factor in the growth and dissemination of solid tumors. Indeed, tumor vasculature is abnormal and contributes to the development and spread of malignancies by creating a hostile microenvironment.

Structure and functional motifs of GCR1, the only plant protein with a GPCR fold? [PDF]
Whether GPCRs exist in plants is a fundamental biological question. Interest in deorphanizing new G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), arises because of their importance in signaling.

Bevacizumab in ovarian cancer: Clinical data and predictive and prognostic biomarkers
Evidence supporting bevacizumab in ovarian cancer and predictive biomarkers: highlighting opportunities to improve patient selection and advance personalised treatment strategies. Abstract Angiogenesis, driven by the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)/VEGFR signalling axis under hypoxic conditions, is one of the hallmarks of ovarian cancer (OC),

Endothelial CD276 (B7-H3) expression is increased in human malignancies and distinguishes between normal and tumour-derived circulating endothelial cells [PDF]
Background:Mature circulating endothelial cells (CEC) are surrogate markers of endothelial damage. CEC measured in patients with advanced cancer are thought not only to derive from damaged normal vasculature (n-CEC ...

CXCR7 contributes to the aggressive phenotype of cholangiocarcinoma cells [PDF]
Development of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is dependent on a cross-talk with stromal cells, which release different chemokines including CXCL12, that interacts with two different receptors, CXCR4 and CXCR7. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of CXCR7 in CCA cells.

Niche inheritance: a cooperative pathway to enhance cancer cell fitness though ecosystem engineering [PDF]
Cancer cells can be described as an invasive species that is able to establish itself in a new environment. The concept of niche construction can be utilized to describe the process by which cancer cells terraform their environment, thereby engineering ...
