Intrinsic Resistance of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Cells to NK Cell-Mediated Lysis Can Be Overcome In Vitro by Pharmacological Inhibition of Cdc42-Induced Actin Cytoskeleton Remodeling

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
Natural killer (NK) cells are innate effector lymphocytes with strong antitumor effects against hematologic malignancies such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). However, NK cells fail to control CLL progression on the long term.

Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy for Peritoneal Metastases: Technical Innovations, Preclinical and Clinical Advances and Future Perspectives

open access: yesBiology, 2021
(1) Background: Tumors of the peritoneal serosa are called peritoneal carcinosis. Their origin may be primary by primitive involvement of the peritoneum (peritoneal pseudomyxoma, peritoneal mesothelioma, etc.). This damage to the peritoneum can also be a

Progress in Progression? [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2010
Diabetic nephropathy is the major cause of ESRD in the United States.1 Unfortunately, only angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin type 1 receptor blockers are registered for slowing the progression of diabetic nephropathy—but they do not halt progression.2–5 Given that diabetic nephropathy costs the health care system close to $30 ...

PDK1- and PDK2-mediated metabolic reprogramming contributes to the TGFβ1-promoted stem-like properties in head and neck cancer

open access: yesCancer & Metabolism, 2022
Background Resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs is a key factor for cancer recurrence and metastases in head and neck cancer (HNC). Cancer stem cells (CSCs) in tumors have self-renewal, differentiation, and higher drug resistance capabilities, resulting ...

Tumorigenicity of IL-1α– and IL-1β–Deficient Fibrosarcoma Cells

open access: yesNeoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 2008
Analyzing the growth of fibrosarcoma lines derived from IL-1α–, IL-1β–, or IL-1αβ–knockout (−/−) mice in the immunocompetent host revealed that tumor-derived IL-1α and IL-1β exert strong and opposing effects on immune response induction, which prohibited

Tumor Hybrid Cells: Nature and Biological Significance

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Metastasis is the leading cause of cancer death and can be realized through the phenomenon of tumor cell fusion. The fusion of tumor cells with other tumor or normal cells leads to the appearance of tumor hybrid cells (THCs) exhibiting novel properties ...

XBP1 increases transactivation of somatic mutants of ESR1 and loss of XBP1 reverses endocrine resistance conferred by gain-of-function Y537S ESR1 mutation

open access: yesHeliyon, 2020
Somatic mutations of the estrogen receptor 1 gene (ESR1) is an emerging mechanism of acquired resistance to endocrine therapy in hormonal breast cancers.

The miR-17-92 cluster: Yin and Yang in human cancers

open access: yesCancer Treatment and Research Communications, 2022
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding RNAs which modulate gene expression via multiple post-transcriptional mechanisms. They are involved in a variety of biological processes, including cell proliferation, metastasis, metabolism, tumorigenesis, and apoptosis.

Actin Cytoskeleton Straddling the Immunological Synapse between Cytotoxic Lymphocytes and Cancer Cells

open access: yesCells, 2019
The immune system is a fundamental part of the tumor microenvironment. In particular, cytotoxic lymphocytes, such as cytolytic T cells and natural killer cells, control tumor growth and disease progression by interacting and eliminating tumor cells.

Loss of cell–cell adhesion triggers cell migration through Rac1-dependent ROS generation

open access: yesLife Science Alliance, 2023
This work shows that an increase in intracellular ROS through the Rac1–NOX pathway is a general response upon loss of cell–cell adhesion, which is necessary for triggering cell migration.
