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...
متن کاملTumor-Associated Macrophages and Neutrophils in Tumor Microenvironment
Distinct tumor microenvironment forms in each progression step of cancer and has diverse capacities to induce both adverse and beneficial consequences for tumorigenesis. It is now known that immune cells can be activated to favor tumor growth and progression, most probably influenced by the tumor microenvironment. Tumor-associated macrophages and tumor-associated neutrophils can exert protumora...
متن کاملMacrophages and the tumor microenvironment
Macrophages and the tumor microenvironment Tumor tissue comprises a highly complex network of diverse cell types. In a simplified view, the tumor microenvironment can be subdivided into the cancer cell and the stromal cell compartments, the latter of which harbors many different cell types. A considerable number of innate immune cells reside within the tumor microenvironment, including macropha...
متن کاملTumor-Associated Macrophages as Major Players in the Tumor Microenvironment
During tumor progression, circulating monocytes and macrophages are actively recruited into tumors where they alter the tumor microenvironment to accelerate tumor progression. Macrophages shift their functional phenotypes in response to various microenvironmental signals generated from tumor and stromal cells. Based on their function, macrophages are divided broadly into two categories: classic...
متن کاملSelective targeting of tumor associated macrophages in different tumor models
Tumor progression largely depends on the presence of alternatively polarized (M2) tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), whereas the classical M1-polarized macrophages can promote anti-tumorigenic immune responses. Thus, selective inhibition of M2-TAMs is a desirable anti-cancer approach in highly resistant tumor entities such as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or breast cancer. We here examined w...
