Genes controlling spread of breast cancer to lung "gang of 4".

چکیده
Cancer-related mortality is caused in a large part by the metastasis of primary tumor. Each cancer has a particular way of spreading cancerous cells. Recently, genetic and pharmacological analysis identified the set of genes, such as epidermal growth factor receptor ligand epiregulin (EREG), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2) and matrix metalloproteinases 1 and 2 (MMP-1 and MMP-2) that have been found to be associated with metastasis of breast cancer to lung. Inhibition of EGFR and COX2 could minimize lung metastasis of breast cancer in a clinical setting. In this review, we summarized the current knowledge on EREG, COX2, MMP-1 and MMP-2 in tumor development and metastasis.

متن کاملAn Agent- based Modeling for Breast Tissue Simulation and the Growth and Spread of Tumor in Various Breast Cancer States
Introduction: Breast cancer is a cancer that is caused by abnormal growth of breast cells. Modeling and simulation of the growth and treatment of breast cancer, along with providing the possibility of doing experiments and research, can reduce the time and cost of treatment by predicting some cases. The purpose of the present research was to develop an agent-based model for the simulation of b...

Introduction: Metastasis is the main cause of cancer death; however, the underlying mechanisms of metastasis are largely unknown. The chemokine of stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF1) and the process of epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT), both have been declared as important factors to promote cancer metastasis; however, Conspicuously, the relation between them has not been recognized well...

Introduction: Long non-coding RNAs play an important role in regulating gene expression, RNA processing, histone modification, and rearrangement of chromatin genes. These molecules can also be involved in many biological processes, such as organogenesis, cell differentiation, development, genome imprinting, quantitative compensation, and tumorigenesis. High expression of MALAT1 (a type of lncRN...
