CCL2 at the crossroad of cancer metastasis
Primary tumors can affect organ functions, either mechanically when they grow to a considerable size or via production of hormones. However, mortality of cancer patients is in most cases due to formation of secondary growths.(1) (,) (2) Consequently, various drugs are currently employed in clinical trials to impair specific steps of cancer metastasis such as mesenchymal or amoeboid cell migrati...
متن کاملCancer metastasis at a glance: A brief view of Breast Cancer Brain Metastasis
Cancer initiation and progression is a challenging scenario through developmental processes, which may be more complicated by occurrence of metastasis. Basically, diverse genetic alterations, including mutations, formation of truncated proteins and related pathways play key roles either in diagnosis or the most influential therapeutic purposes. ...

متن کاملTargeting the CCL2-CCR2 signaling axis in cancer metastasis
The CCL2-CCR2 signaling axis has generated increasing interest in recent years due to its association with the progression of cancer. Although first described as a chemotactic molecule with physiological roles in regulating inflammation, recent studies have revealed a pro-tumorigenic function for CCL2 in favoring cancer development and subsequent metastasis. CCL2 binds the cognate receptor CCR2...
متن کاملMicrobes-induced EMT at the crossroad of inflammation and cancer
It is noteworthy that bacterial or viral infections, and the resulting chronic inflammation, have been shown to predispose individuals to certain types of cancer. Remarkably, these microbes upregulated some transcription factors involved in the regulation of the epithelial to mesenchymal transition, referred herein as EMT. EMT is a cellular process that consists in the conversion of epithelial ...
