A Mimic of the Tumor Microenvironment on GPR30 Gene Expression in Breast Cancer
Introduction: The G-protein coupled receptor 30 (GPR30) gene is a member of the G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) family; involved in breast, endometrial, and ovarian cancers. Many GPCR receptors that are implicated in several types of human cancers are correlated with increased cell proliferation and tumor progression; especially GPR30 gene. Methods: The breast cancer MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cel...
متن کاملInterleukin-6 in the Breast Tumor Microenvironment
Greater than 200,000 new cases of breast cancer cases were diagnosed in 2010 in the United States, with approximately 40,000 women succumbing to the disease (www.cancer.gov). Globally, an estimated 1.38 million new cases of breast cancer were diagnosed in 2008, with greater than 450,000 women succumbing to the disease (Jemal et al., 2011). Despite our improved understanding of breast carcinogen...
متن کاملThe tumor microenvironment and inflammatory breast cancer
Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is a rare and very aggressive subtype of breast cancer with clinical manifestations similar to acute inflammation. The prognosis of IBC is still poor even though combination therapy with surgery, chemotherapy, and target therapy, mainly due to a lack of fully understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms of IBC pathogenesis and progression. In the prese...
متن کاملMolecular characterization of the tumor microenvironment in breast cancer.
Here we describe the comprehensive gene expression profiles of each cell type composing normal breast tissue and in situ and invasive breast carcinomas using serial analysis of gene expression. Based on these data, we determined that extensive gene expression changes occur in all cell types during cancer progression and that a significant fraction of altered genes encode secreted proteins and r...
متن کاملGenomic (in)stability of the breast tumor microenvironment.
The breast tumor microenvironment plays an active role in tumorigenesis. Molecular alterations have been identified in tumor-associated stroma; however, there is considerable debate as to whether the stroma is characterized by genomic instability or whether detection of chromosomal alterations reflects technological artifact rather than the true genomic content of the tumor microenvironment. Th...
