The tumor-educated-macrophage increase of malignancy of human pancreatic cancer is prevented by zoledronic acid. [PDF]
, 2014 We previously defined macrophages harvested from the peritoneal cavity of nude mice with subcutaneous human pancreatic tumors as "tumor-educated-macrophages" (Edu) and macrophages harvested from mice without tumors as "naïve-macrophages" (Naïve), and ...

Culturing Mouse Tumor Cells [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Protocols, 2015 Genetically engineered mouse models (GEMMs) are attractive for the study of cancer; however, they can be time-consuming and expensive to produce and maintain. Thus, in certain contexts, the use of in vitro culture systems of tumor cells may provide an efficient and effective means to test hypotheses before assessment in or to complement discoveries in ...

Photodynamic Efficacy of Cercosporin in 3D Tumor Cell Cultures [PDF]
Photochemistry and Photobiology, 2020 AbstractIn the present work, we study the photodynamic action of cercosporin (cerco), a naturally occurring photosensitizer, on human cancer multicellular spheroids. U87 spheroids exhibit double the uptake of cerco than T47D and T98G spheroids as shown by flow cytometry on the single cell level.

HDAC inhibition potentiates immunotherapy in triple negative breast cancer. [PDF]
, 2017 Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) represents a more aggressive and difficult subtype of breast cancer where responses to chemotherapy occur, but toxicity is significant and resistance often follows. Immunotherapy has shown promising results in various

Somatic gene therapy for cancer. The utility of transferrinfection in generating ‘tumor vaccines’ [PDF]
, 1993 The last few years have seen the development of a branch of somatic gene therapy which aims at strengthening the immune surveillance of the body, leading to eradication of disseminated cancer tumor cells and occult micrometastases after surgical removal ...

Integrin-mediated traction force enhances paxillin molecular associations and adhesion dynamics that increase the invasiveness of tumor cells into a three-dimensional extracellular matrix. [PDF]
, 2017 Metastasis requires tumor cells to navigate through a stiff stroma and squeeze through confined microenvironments. Whether tumors exploit unique biophysical properties to metastasize remains unclear.

Culture of Zollinger-Ellison Tumor Cells
Gastroenterology, 1975 We have successfully grown six Zollinger-Ellison tumors in vitro with use of a monlayer tissue culture technique. The initial gastrin concentration in the medium varied between 0 and 100 ng per ml. Many cytoplasmic secretory granules were seen in the cells of one culture population.

Tumor-induced senescent T cells promote the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines and angiogenic factors by human monocytes/macrophages through a mechanism that involves Tim-3 and CD40L [PDF]
, 2014 Solid tumors are infiltrated by immune cells where macrophages and senescent T cells are highly represented. Within the tumor microenvironment, a cross-talk between the infiltrating cells may occur conditioning the characteristic of the in situ immune ...

Culture and application of conditionally reprogrammed primary tumor cells [PDF]
Gastroenterology Report, 2020 AbstractCancer is still a major public-health problem that threatens human life worldwide and further study needs to be carried out in the basic and preclinical areas. Although high-throughput sequencing technology and individualized precise therapy have made breakthroughs over the years, the high failure rate of clinical translational research has ...

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) promotes immunogenic apoptosis in human multiple myeloma cells, induces autophagy and inhibits STAT3 in both tumor and dendritic cells [PDF]
, 2017 Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), a ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid found in fish oil, is a multi-target agent and exerts anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities alone or in combination with chemotherapies.
