Influence of stromal–epithelial interactions on breast cancer in vitro and in vivo
(Springer, 2011-02-23)
Stromal cell-secreted chemokines including CCL2 have been implicated in the primary tumor microenvironment, as mediators of tumor cell migration, proliferation, and angiogenesis. Expression of CCL2 and its principal receptor ...
Potential role of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in the breast tumour microenvironment: stimulation of epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT)
(Springer, 2010-01-20)
Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are known to specifically migrate to and engraft at tumour sites. Understanding interactions between cancer cells and MSCs has become fundamental to determining whether ...
Systemic chemokine levels in breast cancer patients and their relationship with circulating menstrual hormones
(Springer, 2008-06-04)
Introduction The chemokines Stromal Cell-Derived Factor-1 alpha (SDF-1 alpha/CXCL12) and Monocyte Chemotactic Protein-1 (MCP-1/CCL2) have been implicated in breast cancer progression. We recently reported elevated systemic ...
