MRI of the tumor microenvironment.
The microenvironment within tumors is significantly different from that in normal tissues. A major difference is seen in the chaotic vasculature of tumors, which results in unbalanced blood supply and significant perfusion heterogeneities. As a consequence, many regions within tumors are transiently or chronically hypoxic. This exacerbates tumor cells' natural tendency to overproduce acids, res...
متن کاملMolecular and Functional MRI of the Tumor Microenvironment
In malignant tumors, cancer cells are embedded within a complex microenvironment consisting of the extracellular matrix (ECM), blood and lymphatic vessels, infiltrating leukocytes, fibroblasts, and other stromal cells. This microenvironment is characterized by abnormal physiologic conditions such as hypoxia and acidic extracellular pH, generated largely by the chaotic tumor vasculature and lack...

متن کاملA 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 کاملThe brain tumor microenvironment.
High-grade brain tumors are heterogeneous with respect to the composition of bona fide tumor cells and with respect to a range of intermingling parenchymal cells. Glioblastomas harbor multiple cell types, some with increased tumorigenicity and stem cell-like capacity. The stem-like cells maybe the cells of origin for tumor relapse. However, the tumor-associated parenchymal cells such as vascula...
