Genomic Instability Profiles at the Single Cell Level in Mouse Colorectal Cancers of Defined Genotypes

Maxim Norkin, Jörg Hülsken, Paloma Ordonez Moran

The genomes of many human CRCs have been sequenced, revealing a large number of genetic alterations. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the accumulation of these alterations are still being debated. In this study, we examined colorectal tumours t ...

Biology and therapeutic targeting of tumour-associated macrophages

Michele De Palma, Tim Beltraminelli

Macrophages sustain tumour progression by facilitating angiogenesis, promoting immunosuppression, and enhancing cancer cell invasion and metastasis. They also modulate tumour response to anti-cancer therapy in pre-clinical models. This knowledge has motiva ...

A novel culture method that sustains ER alpha signaling in human breast cancer tissue microstructures

Cathrin Brisken, Georgios Sflomos

Background Estrogen receptor alpha (ER alpha) signaling is a defining and driving event in most breast cancers; ER alpha is detected in malignant epithelial cells of 75% of all breast cancers (classified as ER-positive breast cancer) and, in these cases, E ...

Molecular profiling and functional analysis of macrophage-derived tumour extracellular vesicles

Tim Beltraminelli

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanosized vesicles released by virtually all cell types. Increasing data suggest that EVs function in the regulation of intercellular communication both in physiological and pathological states. In cancer biology, mounting ...

CSL controls telomere maintenance and genome stability in human dermal fibroblasts

Joachim Lingner, Thomas Frédéric Lunardi, Paris Jafari

Genomic instability is a hallmark of cancer. Whether it also occurs in Cancer Associated Fibroblasts (CAFs) remains to be carefully investigated. Loss of CSL/RBP-J kappa, the effector of canonical NOTCH signaling with intrinsic transcription repressive fun ...

Gamma Knife radiosurgery for intravestibular and intracochlear schwannomas

Constantin Tuleasca

BackgroundSchwannomas of the VIIIth cranial nerve are benign tumours, with vast majority occurring in vestibular division. Rarely, they can also arise from distal branches of cochlear, superior or inferior vestibular. We review our experience with Gamma Kn ...

Chemokine profiling in serum from patients with ovarian cancer reveals candidate biomarkers for recurrence and immune infiltration

Gianrocco Lazzari, Agata Mlynska

The management of advanced ovarian cancer is challenging due to the high frequency of recurrence, often associated with the development of resistance to platinum-based chemotherapy. Molecular analyses revealed the complexity of ovarian cancer with particul ...

Microenvironmental regulation of tumour angiogenesis

Michele De Palma, Daniela Biziato

Tumours display considerable variation in the patterning and properties of angiogenic blood vessels, as well as in their responses to anti-angiogenic therapy. Angiogenic programming of neoplastic tissue is a multidimensional process regulated by cancer cel ...

Mapping mitochondrial heteroplasmy in a Leydig tumor by laser capture microdissection and cycling temperature capillary electrophoresis

Stephan Morgenthaler, Paul Refinetti, Per Olaf Ekstrom

Background: The growth of tumor cells is accompanied by mutations in nuclear and mitochondrial genomes creating marked genetic heterogeneity. Tumors also contain non-tumor cells of various origins. An observed somatic mitochondrial mutation would have occu ...

Elucidating the role of lymphatic vessels within the tumor microenvironment of breast cancer

Ingrid Maria van Mier

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide, with an estimated 1.7 million newly diagnosed cases in 2012. Despite the many clinical manifestations, metastatic disease is the main cause of death, and is responsible for 90% of all breast cance ...

Magnetic nanoparticle-induced hyperthermia with appropriate payloads: Paul Ehrlich's "magic (nano)bullet" for cancer theranostics?

Heinrich Hofmann, Swati Krishnan

Effective multimodal cancer management requires the optimal integration of diagnostic and therapeutic modalities. Radiation therapy, chemotherapy and immunotherapy, alone or in combination, are integral parts of various cancer treatment protocols. Hyperthe ...

Bile acid-FXR alpha pathways regulate male sexual maturation in mice

Kristina Schoonjans

The bile acid receptor Farnesol-X-Receptor alpha (FRX alpha) is a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily. FRX alpha is expressed in the interstitial compartment of the adult testes, which contain the Leydig cells. In adult, short term treatment (12 hou ...

Thermoresponsive organometallic arene ruthenium complexes for tumour targeting

Paul Joseph Dyson, Patrycja Nowak-Sliwinska, Catherine Marie Amélie Clavel, Emilia Paunescu

Application of mild hyperthermia can increase the cytotoxicity of anticancer drugs in tumour cells. In this report, we describe low molecular weight thermoactive ruthenium-based drugs with fluorous chains that are selectively triggered by mild hyperthermia ...

Interactions between cancer stem cells and their niche govern metastatic colonization

Jörg Hülsken, Albert Santamaria Martinez, Ilaria Malanchi, Hans-Anton Lehr

Metastatic growth in distant organs is the major cause of cancer mortality. The development of metastasis is a multistage process with several rate-limiting steps. Although dissemination of tumour cells seems to be an early and frequent event, the successf ...
