Jagged1-Notch1-deployed tumor perivascular niche promotes breast cancer stem cell phenotype through Zeb1

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
The transcription factor Zeb1 is known to promote tumorigenesis and stemness in breast cancer. Here the authors show that tumor endothelial Jagged1 induces activation of Notch1 signaling and increases Zeb1 expression in neighboring breast cancer stem ...

PINCH-1 regulates mitochondrial dynamics to promote proline synthesis and tumor growth

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Proline metabolism is crucial to tumor proliferation. Here, the authors show PINCH-1 deficiency inhibited proline synthesis by promoting mitochondrial fragmentation via DRP1, downregulating PYCR1 expression and reducing cell proliferation in vitro and in

The relationship between oestrogen receptor-alpha phosphorylation and the tumour microenvironment in patients with primary operable ductal breast cancer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Aims: Although the role of phosphorylation of oestrogen receptor (ER) at serines 118 (p-S118) and 167 (p-S167) has been studied, the relationship between p-S118, p-S167 and the tumour microenvironment in ER-positive primary operable ductal breast ...

Kindlin-2 links mechano-environment to proline synthesis and tumor growth

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
The mechano-properties of the Extracellular Matrix (ECM) are important for tumorigenesis. Here, the authors show that the stiffening of the ECM promotes translocation of the focal adhesion protein—Kindlin-2—to the mitochondria, where it interacts with ...

The microenvironment matters

open access: yesMolecular Biology of the Cell, 2014
The physical and biochemical properties of the microenvironment regulate cell behavior and modulate tissue development and homeostasis. Likewise, the physical and interpersonal cues a trainee receives profoundly influence his or her scientific development, research perspective, and future success. My cell biology career has been greatly impacted by the

The potential of miR-29 in modulating tumor angiogenesis: a comprehensive review

open access: yesDiscover Oncology
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of short non-coding RNAs that play a crucial role in the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. They are associated with various biological processes related to tumors.

Bacteria-laden microgels as autonomous three-dimensional environments for stem cell engineering

open access: yesMaterials Today Bio, 2019
A one-step microfluidic system is developed in this study which enables the encapsulation of stem cells and genetically engineered non-pathogenic bacteria into a so-called three-dimensional (3D) pearl lace–like microgel of alginate with high level of ...

Anti-Tumor Effects of TRAIL-Expressing Mesenchymal Stromal Cells in a Mouse Xenograft Model of Human Mesothelioma [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Malignant mesothelioma (MM) remains a highly deadly malignancy with poor treatment option. The MM cells further promote a highly inflammatory microenvironment which contributes to tumor initiation, development, severity, and propagation. We reasoned that
