Tumor Hypoxia and Circulating Tumor Cells [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are a rare tumor cell subpopulation induced and selected by the tumor microenvironment’s extreme conditions. Under hypoxia and starvation, these aggressive and invasive cells are able to invade the lymphatic and circulatory systems.

Tumor Evolution and Therapeutic Choice Seen through a Prism of Circulating Tumor Cell Genomic Instability

open access: yesCells, 2021
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) provide an accessible tool for investigating tumor heterogeneity and cell populations with metastatic potential. Although an in-depth molecular investigation is limited by the extremely low CTC count in circulation ...

RNA-Based CTC Analysis Provides Prognostic Information in Metastatic Breast Cancer

open access: yesDiagnostics, 2021
In metastatic breast cancer (MBC) the molecular characterization of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) provides a unique tool to understand metastasis-biology and therapy-resistance.

Comprehensive liquid biopsy analysis as a tool for the early detection of minimal residual disease in breast cancer

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Liquid biopsy (LB) provides a unique minimally invasive tool to follow-up cancer patients over time, to detect minimal residual disease (MRD), to study metastasis-biology and mechanisms of therapy-resistance.

Tumor cell dormancy [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, 2017
Metastasis is the primary cause of death in cancer patients and current treatments fail to provide durable responses. Efforts to treat metastatic disease are hindered by the fact that metastatic cells often remain dormant for prolonged intervals of years, or even decades.

MicroRNA analysis of Natural Killer cell-derived exosomes: the microRNA let-7b-5p is enriched in exosomes and participates in their anti-tumor effects against pancreatic cancer cells

open access: yesOncoImmunology, 2023
Natural Killer (NK) cells are important components of the immune system in the defense against tumor growth and metastasis. They release exosomes containing proteins and nucleic acids, including microRNAs (miRNAs).

T cells in tumor microenvironment [PDF]

open access: yesTumor Biology, 2015
Tumors progress in a specific area, which supports its development, spreading or shrinking in time with the presence of different factors that effect the fate of the cancer cells. This specialized site is called "tumor microenvironment" and has a composition of heterogenous materials.

The Effect of Genomic DNA Contamination on the Detection of Circulating Long Non-Coding RNAs: The Paradigm of MALAT1

open access: yesDiagnostics, 2021
The presence of contaminating gDNA in RNA preparations is a frequent cause of false positives in RT-PCR-based analysis. However, in some cases, this cannot be avoided, especially when there are no exons–intron junctions in the lncRNA sequences.

KMT2C promoter methylation in plasma‐circulating tumor DNA is a prognostic biomarker in non‐small cell lung cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, 2021
MLL3 histone methyltransferase, encoded by the KMT2C gene, is a tumor suppressor that has an essential role in cell‐type‐specific gene expression.

Analysis of the mechanisms regulating soluble PD-1 production and function in human NK cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2023
NK cells represent important effectors that play a major role in innate defences against pathogens and display potent cytolytic activity against tumor cells. An array of surface receptors finely regulate their function and inhibitory checkpoints, such as
