PRMT6 Promotes Lung Tumor Progression via the Alternate Activation of Tumor-Associated Macrophages

Tumor-Associated Macrophages Contribute to Tumor Progression in Ovarian Cancer

Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death in women with gynecological malignancy and improvements in current treatments are needed. As with many other solid cancers, the ovarian tumor microenvironment is emerging as a key player in tumor progression and a potential therapeutic target. The tumor microenvironment contains several non-malignant cell types that are known to contribute to tumor p...

Decoy receptor 3 enhances tumor progression via induction of tumor-associated macrophages.

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are the major component of tumor-infiltrating leukocytes. TAMs are heterogeneous, with distinct phenotypes influenced by the microenvironment surrounding tumor tissues. Decoy receptor 3 (DcR3), a member of the TNFR superfamily, is overexpressed in tumor cells and is capable of modulating host immunity as either a neutralizing decoy receptor or an effector mol...

Tumor-Associated Macrophages Progression via Induction of Decoy Receptor 3 Enhances Tumor

Cancer Progression Related with Tumor-associated Macrophages

Tumor-associated macrophages are one of the main populations of inflammatory cells in cancers that favor tumor cell growth and survival. Tumor-derived factors such as VEGF-A and CSF-1 recruit the macrophages in tumor micro environment and alter their phenotype in M1 to M2 or tumor-associated macrophages by secretion of several cytokines including IL-4, IL-13 and VEGF-A. In return tumor-associat...

P157: Periostin Recruits Tumor Associated Macrophages in Glioblastoma Multiform

Glioblastoma multiform (GBM) is the most common and lethal type of primary brain tumors with high rates of morbidity and mortality. Treatment options are limited and ineffective in most of the cases. Epidemiological studies have shown a link between inflammation and glioma genesis.  In addition, at the molecular level, pro-inflammatory cytokines released from activated microglia can increa...
