Abstract Heterogeneity of carcinoma-associated fibroblasts (CAF) has long been recognized, but the functional significance remains poorly understood. Here, we report distinction two CAF subtypes in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) that have differential tumor-promoting capability, one with a transcriptome and secretome closer to normal (CAF-N) other more divergent expression pattern (CAF-D). Both supported higher tumor incidence nonobese diabetic/severe combined immunodeficient (NOD/SCID)...

Background Cancer‐associated fibroblasts ( CAF s) were shown to be important for tumour progression in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas HNSCC s). Their heterogeneity lack of specific markers is increasingly recognized. Integrin α11 was recently expressed by s might serve as a marker. Aim To investigate integrin expression its correlation with the well‐known marker , alpha smooth muscle actin (α‐ SMA ), . Methods Fresh frozen FF ) formalin‐fixed paraffin‐embedded FFPE samples from...

Integrin α11β1 is a collagen receptor that has been reported to be overexpressed in the stroma of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and head neck squamous carcinoma (HNSCC). In current study, we further analyzed integrin α11 expression 14 tumor types by screening tissue array while using mAb 203E3, newly developed monoclonal antibody human α11. Different degrees were observed breast, ovary, skin, lung, uterus, stomach, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) tumors. Co-expression queries...

Altered expression of S100A16 has been reported in human cancers, but its biological role tumorigenesis is not fully understood. This study aimed to investigate the clinical significance and functional oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) suppression. mRNA and/or protein levels were examined by quantitative RT-PCR immunohistochemistry whole- laser microdissected-specimens normal mucosa (NHOM, n = 65), dysplastic lesions (ODL, 21), OSCCs (n 132) positive cervical nodes 17). OSCC was for...

Utilizing nanoparticles as innovative theranostic agents for biomedical applications requires full control over the material’s properties to dictate their interactions within a biological environment. Owing its versatile surface chemistry and high biocompatibility, nanodiamond (ND) represents promising platform novel healthcare treatments. To ensure performance safety of NDs, behavior must remain unchanged upon administration, key challenge in nanomedicine. Recently, zwitterionic...

Malignant melanoma is the most aggressive type of skin cancer and closely associated with development brain metastases. Despite treatment, prognosis has traditionally been poor, necessitating improved therapies. In melanoma, mitogen activated protein kinase phosphoinositide 3-kinase signaling pathways are commonly altered, therapeutically inhibiting one often upregulates other, leading to resistance. Thus, combined treatment targeting both a promising strategy overcome this. Here, we studied...

Melanoma has the highest propensity of all cancers to metastasize brain with a large percentage late-stage patients developing metastases in central nervous system (CNS). It is well known that metastasis establishment, cell survival, and progression are affected by tumour-host interactions where changes host cellular compartments likely play an important role. In this context, miRNAs transferred tumour derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) have previously been shown create favourable...

Melanomas have a high potential to metastasize the brain. Recent advances in targeted therapies and immunotherapies changed therapeutical landscape of extracranial melanomas. However, few patients with melanoma brain metastasis (MBM) respond effectively these treatments new therapeutic strategies are needed. Cabozantinib is receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) inhibitor, already approved for treatment non-skin-related cancers. The drug targets several proteins that known be dysregulated anti-tumor...
