Chemokines in tumor progression and metastasis
Chemokines play a vital role in tumor progression and metastasis. Chemokines are involved in the growth of many cancers including breast cancer, ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer, melanoma, lung cancer, gastric cancer, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, colon cancer, non-small lung cancer, non-hodgkin's lymphoma, etc. The expression of chemokines and their receptors is altered in many malignancies a...
متن کاملENaC/DEG in Tumor Development and Progression
The epithelial Na+ channel/degenerin (ENaC/DEG) superfamily, including the acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs), is characterized by a high degree of similarity in structure but highly diverse in physiological functions. These ion channels have been shown to be important in several physiological functions of normal epithelial cells, including salt homeostasis, fluid transportation and cell mobilit...
متن کاملChemokines in tumor immunotherapy.
The chemokines are a family of small molecules that mediate cell migration, activation, differentiation, angiogenesis, and perhaps other functions. The chemokines have been classified by their amino acid composition, functional activity, and receptor binding properties. The chemokines receptors are 7 transmembrane G proteins and there is considerable redundancy in ligand specificity. The role o...
متن کامل[Role of chemokines in melanoma progression].
Metastasis is the main cause of death from melanoma. Chemokines are low molecular weight chemotactic cytokines that facilitate cellular migration. Thus, cells that express receptors for a given chemokine are attracted to the site of its production. As certain chemokines are found in abundance in organs that are common targets of metastasis and receptors for these chemokines are expressed by tum...
متن کاملRole of Chemokines and Chemokine Receptors in Prostate Cancer Development and Progression.
Prostate cancer (PC) is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in men in America and Western Europe. Epidemiological studies suggest that prostate cancer incidences increased in last few years in Asian. The causes or consequences of increasing trend of prostate cancer incidence are not completely known. Emerging evidences suggest that among the many risk factors, inflammation is the major ri...
