Cellular Plasticity in Prostate Cancer Bone Metastasis
Purpose. Experimental data suggest that tumour cells can reversibly transition between epithelial and mesenchymal states (EMT and MET), a phenomenon known as cellular plasticity. The aim of this review was to appraise the clinical evidence for the role of cellular plasticity in prostate cancer (PC) bone metastasis. Methods. An electronic search was performed using PubMed for studies that have e...
متن کاملCancer-Associated Fibroblasts Connect Metastasis-Promoting Communication in Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer (CRC) progression and eventually metastasis is directed in many aspects by a circuitous ecosystem consisting of an extracellular matrix scaffold populated by cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), endothelial cells, and diverse immune cells. CAFs are recruited from local tissue-resident fibroblasts or pericryptal fibroblasts and distant fibroblast precursors. CAFs are highly ab...
متن کاملCancer-associated fibroblasts – Not-so-innocent bystanders in metastasis to bone?
Metastatic dissemination of cancer cells to local and distant sites such as bone requires a complex interaction of cancer cells with their surrounding microenvironment to allow invasion, immune evasion and spread via the vascular or lymphatic systems. The tumour microenvironment is composed of an array of cells embedded in a complex extracellular matrix (ECM) (Fig. 1). The predominant cell type...
متن کاملBone Marrow Adipose Tissue: A New Player in Cancer Metastasis to Bone
The bone marrow is a favored site for a number of cancers, including the hematological malignancy multiple myeloma, and metastasis of breast and prostate cancer. This specialized microenvironment is highly supportive, not only for tumor growth and survival but also for the development of an associated destructive cancer-induced bone disease. The interactions between tumor cells, osteoclasts and...
متن کاملClinical laboratory immunology: an indispensable player in laboratory medicine.
OBJECTIVES Clinical laboratory immunology affects practically every aspect of medicine. Accordingly, appropriately trained, board-certified clinical laboratory immunologists are key contributors to the diagnosis and management of patients with various immune-mediated conditions. This review highlights the availability of postdoctoral level training programs for clinical laboratory immunology an...
