Much interest is currently focused on the emerging role of tumor-stroma interactions essential for supporting tumor progression. Carcinoma-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), frequently present in the stroma of human breast carcinomas, include a large number of myofibroblasts, a hallmark of activated fibroblasts. These fibroblasts have an ability to substantially promote tumorigenesis. However, the precise cellular origins of CAFs and the molecular mechanisms by which these cells evolve into tumor-promoting myofibroblasts remain unclear. Using a coimplantation breast tumor xenograft model, we show that resident human mammary fibroblasts progressively convert into CAF myofibroblasts during the course of tumor progression. These cells increasingly acquire two autocrine signaling loops, mediated by TGF-beta and SDF-1 cytokines, which both act in autostimulatory and cross-communicating fashions. These autocrine-signaling loops initiate and maintain the differentiation of fibroblasts into myofibroblasts and the concurrent tumor-promoting phenotype. Collectively, these findings indicate that the establishment of the self-sustaining TGF-beta and SDF-1 autocrine signaling gives rise to tumor-promoting CAF myofibroblasts during tumor progression. This autocrine-signaling mechanism may prove to be an attractive therapeutic target to block the evolution of tumor-promoting CAFs.

Squaramide Based Organocatalysts in Organic Transformations Rouf, Abdul; Tanyeli, Cihangir (2016-12-01) Organocatalysis is an emerging and new field towards the direction of asymmetric synthesis and has shown a tremendous growth in 21st century. As the demand for chiral pharmaceuticals and chiral organic molecules is increasing immensely, different types of organocatalysts have been developed and used from time to time. The cinchona alkaloids and amino acid proline were the first organocatalysts used in this area followed by incredible growth in the form of urea/thiourea, DMAP, proline derivatives, squaramide...
Reprint of 'Draw your assay: Fabrication of low-cost paper-based diagnostic and multi-well test zones by drawing on a paper' OYOLA-REYNOSO, Stephanie; HEIM, Andrew P.; HALBERTSMA-BLACK, Julian; ZHAO, C.; TEVIS, Ian D.; Çınar, Simge; Cademartiri, Rebecca; LIU, Xinyu; Bloch, Jean-Francis; Thuo, Martin M. (2015-12-01) Interest in low-cost diagnostic devices has recently gained attention, in part due to the rising cost of healthcare and the need to serve populations in resource-limited settings. A major challenge in the development of such devices is the need for hydrophobic barriers to contain polar bio-fluid analytes. Key approaches in lowering the cost in diagnostics have centered on (i) development of low-cost fabrication techniques/processes, (ii) use of affordable materials, or, (iii) minimizing the need for high-te...
GST isoenzymes in matched normal and neoplastic breast tissue OĞUZTÜZÜN, SERPİL; Abu-Hijleh, A.; ÇOBAN, TÜLAY; Bulbul, D.; KILIÇ, MURAT; İŞCAN, Mümtaz; İşcan, Mesude (AEPress, s.r.o., 2011-01-01) The potential to metabolize endogenous and exogenous substances may influence breast cancer development and tumor growth. Therefore we investigated GST activity and the protein expression of glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) isoenzymes known to be involved in the metabolism of endogenous and exogenous carcinogens in breast cancer tissue to obtain new information on their possible role in tumor progression.
Enantiomerically pure beta-dipeptide derivative induces anticancer activity against human hormone-refractory prostate cancer through both PI3K/Akt-dependent and -independent pathways Chan, Mei-Ling; Yu, Chia-Chun; Hsu, Jui-Ling; Leu, Wohn-Jenn; Chan, She-Hung; Hsu, Lih-Ching; Liu, Shih-Ping; Ivantcova, Polina M.; Doğan, Özdemir; Braese, Stefan; KUDRYAVTSEV, Konstantin V; GUH, Jih Hwa (Impact Journals, LLC, 2017-11-14) The use of peptides that target cancer cells and induce anticancer activities through various mechanisms is developing as a potential anticancer strategy. KUD983, an enantiomerically pure beta-dipeptide derivative, displays potent activity against hormone-refractory prostate cancer (HRPC) PC-3 and DU145 cells with submicromolar IC50. KUD983 induced G1 arrest of the cell cycle and subsequent apoptosis associated with down-regulation of several related proteins including cyclin D1, cyclin E and Cdk4, and the ...
Gene expression analysis of drug-resistant MCF-7 cells: implications for relation to extracellular matrix proteins Iseri, Oezlem Darcansoy; Kars, Meltem Demirel; Arpaci, Fikret; Gündüz, Ufuk (2010-02-01) Since multidrug resistance is a multifactorial phenomenon, a large-scale expression analysis of drug-resistant cells by using high-density oligonucleotide microarrays may provide information about new candidate genes contributing to resistance. Extracellular matrix (ECM) is responsible for many aspects of proliferation and invasive/metastatic behavior of tumor cells. This study demonstrates alterations in gene expression levels of several ECM components, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), adamalysins (ADAMs ...
