World Journal of Surgical Oncology, 2018 Background M2-polarized macrophages are tumor-associated-macrophages (TAMs), which are important contents of tumor-infiltrating immune cells. Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is a molecular biomarker of tumor aggressiveness and poor prognosis.

Cells assemble invadopodia-like structures and invade into matrigel in a matrix metalloprotease dependent manner in the circular invasion assay [PDF]
, 2012 The ability of tumor cells to invade is one of the hallmarks of the metastatic phenotype. To elucidate the mechanisms by which tumor cells acquire an invasive phenotype, in vitro assays have been developed that mimic the process of cancer cell invasion ...

Gelsolin induces colorectal tumor cell invasion via modulation of the urokinase-type plasminogen activator cascade [PDF]
, 2012 Gelsolin is a cytoskeletal protein which participates in actin filament dynamics and promotes cell motility and plasticity. Although initially regarded as a tumor suppressor, gelsolin expression in certain tumors correlates with poor prognosis and ...

Receptors for hyaluronic acid and poliovirus: a combinatorial role in glioma invasion? [PDF]
, 2012 BACKGROUND: CD44 has long been associated with glioma invasion while, more recently, CD155 has been implicated in playing a similar role. Notably, these two receptors have been shown closely positioned on monocytes.

A clinicopathological study of perineural invasion and vascular invasion in oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma [PDF]
, 2015 The risk factors for recurrence of head and neck cancer are classified as being of high or intermediate risk. Those of intermediate risk include multiple positive nodes without extracapsular nodal spread, perineural/vascular invasion, pT3/T4 primary ...

Contribution of 3q26-29 gene cluster to glioma invasion [PDF]
, 2015 Diffuse gliomas are the most common and lethal brain tumors. Cell invasion into the surrounding brain tissue is a hallmark feature of glioma. Understanding the mechanism of glioma invasion could lead to the discovery of novel therapeutic strategies to ...
