Environment or Host?

or Metastases Based on Host Organ Environment

Downloa ors induce new blood vessel growth primarily from host organ microvascular endothelial cells (EC), and vasculature differs significantly between the lung and liver. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF GF-A) promotion of tumor angiogenesis is thought to be mediated primarily by VEGF receptor-2 R-2). In this study, VEGFR-2 antibody (DC101) inhibited growth of RenCa renal cell carcino...

Cell-host, LINE and environment

Long interspersed nuclear elements -1 (LINEs, L1s) are retroelements occupying almost 17% of the human genome. L1 retrotransposition can cause deleterious effects on the host-cell and it is generally inhibited by suppressive mechanisms, but it can occur in some specific cells during early development as well as in some tumor cells and in the presence of several environmental factors. In a recen...

Gastric cancer and Helicobacter pylori: the bug, the host or the environment?

Worldwide, gastric cancer is still a leading cause of cancer deaths. The association of Helicobacter pylori and gastric cancer is well established, and the bacterium was declared a class one carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer and the World Health Organisation in 1994. H pylori infection is responsible for 5.5% of all global cancers, 75% of non-cardia gastric cancer an...
