Protective effect of stromal Dickkopf-3 in prostate cancer: opposing roles for TGFBI and ECM-1 [PDF]
Aberrant transforming growth factor–β (TGF-β) signaling is a hallmark of the stromal microenvironment in cancer. Dickkopf-3 (Dkk-3), shown to inhibit TGF-β signaling, is downregulated in prostate cancer and upregulated in the stroma in benign prostatic ...

Utilizing osteocyte derived factors to enhance cell viability and osteogenic matrix deposition within IPN hydrogels [PDF]
Many bone defects arising due to traumatic injury, disease, or surgery are unable to regenerate, requiring intervention. More than four million graft procedures are performed each year to treat these defects making bone the second most commonly ...

Marrow stromal stem cells [PDF]
Multipotential marrow stromal stem cells were known as early as 1968 (1) through the work of Friedenstein and his coworkers, who established that cells that are adherent, clonogenic, nonphagocytic, and fibroblastic in habit (defined as colony-forming units–fibroblastic; CFU-Fs) can be isolated from the bone marrow stroma of postnatal organisms. CFU-Fs,

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have been among the most intensively studied cells in recent years. Lack of specific unique markers for these cells makes it difficult to distinguish MSCs from other types of cells, such as fibroblasts or pericytes. MSCs are a mixture of morphologically different cells with expression of various cellular markers, with ...

Tumor-associated Endo180 requires stromal-derived LOX to promote metastatic prostate cancer cell migration on human ECM surfaces [PDF]
The diverse composition and structure of extracellular matrix (ECM) interfaces encountered by tumor cells at secondary tissue sites can influence metastatic progression. Extensive in vitro and in vivo data has confirmed that metastasizing tumor cells can

Mesenchymal Differentiation and Organ Distribution of Established Human Stromal Cell Lines in NOD/SCID Mice [PDF]
Two human stromal cell lines were established previously from bone marrow-derived primary long-term cultures by immortalization using the SV40 large T antigen and cellular cloning. After irradiation, the fibroblast-like cell lines L87/4 and L88/5 support

Podoplanin drives dedifferentiation and amoeboid invasion of melanoma
Summary: Melanoma is an aggressive skin cancer developing from melanocytes, frequently resulting in metastatic disease. Melanoma cells utilize amoeboid migration as mode of local invasion. Amoeboid invasion is characterized by rounded cell morphology and

Interplay between Solid Tumors and Tumor Microenvironment
Over the past few decades, basic studies aimed at curing patients with cancer have been constantly evolving. A myriad of mechanistic studies on physiological changes and related factors in tumor growth and metastasis have been reported. Recently, several

Mesenchymal stromal cells [PDF]
Our understanding of the biology and properties of mesenchymal stem cells or multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells has expanded dramatically over the last 3 years and is likely to have an impact on clinical practice in the near future, making a review of this topic both timely and relevantRecommendations regarding nomenclature and the definition of ...

Tumour micro-environment elicits innate resistance to RAF inhibitors through HGF secretion. [PDF]
Drug resistance presents a challenge to the treatment of cancer patients. Many studies have focused on cell-autonomous mechanisms of drug resistance. By contrast, we proposed that the tumour micro-environment confers innate resistance to therapy. Here we
