CX3CL1 at the crossroad of EGF signals
نویسندگان
چکیده
Inflammatory mediators can play a dual role in oncogenesis and tumor progression. CX3CL1, a chemokine previously implicated in natural killer cell- and CD8+ T cell-mediated antitumor immune responses, has now been identified as a promoter of ERBB2-expressing breast carcinomas as it cross-activates members of the epidermal growth factor receptor family.

CX3CL1 promotes breast cancer via transactivation of the EGF pathway.
Chemokines are relevant molecules in shaping the tumor microenvironment, although their contributions to tumorigenesis are not fully understood. We studied the influence of the chemokine CX3CL1/fractalkine in de novo breast cancer formation using HER2/neu transgenic mice. CX3CL1 expression was downmodulated in HER2/neu tumors, yet, paradoxically, adenovirus-mediated CX3CL1 expression in the tum...
متن کاملIdentification of novel Wilms' tumor suppressor gene target genes implicated in kidney development.
The Wilms' tumor suppressor gene (WT1) encodes a zinc finger transcription factor that is vital during development of several organs including metanephric kidneys. Despite the critical regulatory role of WT1, the pathways and mechanisms by which WT1 orchestrates development remain elusive. To identify WT1 target genes, we performed a genome-wide expression profiling analysis in cells expressing...
متن کاملFunctional adhesiveness of the CX3CL1 chemokine requires its aggregation. Role of the transmembrane domain.
In its native form, the chemokine CX3CL1 is a firmly adhesive molecule promoting leukocyte adhesion and migration and hence involved, along with its unique receptor CX3CR1, in various inflammatory processes. Here we investigated the role of molecular aggregation in the CX3CL1 adhesiveness. Assays of bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) and homogeneous time-resolved fluorescence (HTR...
متن کاملAssessment of Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) Effects on Development of Vitrified Mouse Morulae to the Blastocyst Stage
Many investigators are interested in finding the new cultural systems that can support the in vitro development of pre-implantation embryos better. Previous studies suggested that growth factors such as epidermal growth factor (EGF) are important in pre-implantation embryo development and implantation process. On the other hand, it is very important to support post thaw development of frozen em...
متن کاملExpression and targeting of CX3CL1 (fractalkine) in renal tubular epithelial cells.
The chemokine CX3CL1 plays a key role in glomerulonephritis and can act as both chemoattractant and adhesion molecule. CX3CL1 also is upregulated in tubulointerstitial injury, but little is known about the subcellular distribution and function of CX3CL1 in renal tubular epithelial cells (RTEC). Unexpectedly, it was found that CX3CL1 is expressed predominantly on the apical surface of tubular ep...
