Abstract:
Since lymph node stromal cells remain largely uncharacterized with respect to cell surface markers and function, their role in regulating the growth and invasion of disseminated cancer cells, including breast carcinoma has, to date, been virtually unexplored. In the present study, we asked whether peripheral lymph node cells could modulate the growth of breast carcinoma cells and, thereby, contribute to the progression of the metastatic process. Primary cultures of rat peripheral lymph node stromal cells were obtained by limiting dilution and two sublines, STA4 and STB12, with breast carcinoma

Abstract:
Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed and the second leading cause of cancer deaths in Canadian women. The most devastating and deadly feature of the disease is the emergence of metastases. Breast cancer most commonly metastasizes to bone, often leading to a significantly decreased quality of life in affected patients. Despite progress in understanding the underlying molecular biology of breast tumors that relapse to bone, to date there are no therapies capable of curing the disease. Hence, it is essential to gain a more in-depth knowledge of the molecular mechanisms that underlie the

Abstract:
Progression to metastatic disease is the leading cause of deaths resulting from breast cancer. Understanding the mechanisms underlying a cell's ability to move away from its site of origin and populate a distant site is important for the future development of therapies. The interactions between a tumor cell and the microenvironment can modulate a cell's ability to invade through tissues and access distant organs. In this study we present evidence indicating the differential modulation of invasive and proliferative phenotypes by hyaluronan present in the cellular microenvironment.We establis

Abstract:
Breast cancer is the most common non-skin cancer in women and the second most common cause of cancer-related death in U.S. women. Despite numerous advances in treatment strategies against breast cancer, the presence of undetected distant metastasis of the primary tumor remains the main cause of mortality. Current screening and detection methods such as mammograms are simply not sensitive enough to detect formation of metastasis. Further, currently available therapies against metastatic breast cancer do not provide a complete cure for the disease. Thus, understanding the biology and molecular f

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women in the United States and metastasis is the leading cause of mortality in patients diagnosed with malignant breast cancer. The receptor of thromboxane A2 (TxA2), TP, is a member of the G-protein coupled receptor family. Increased expression of TP at RNA level was found to correlate with a poor prognosis in breast cancer patients; however, it is unknown how TP expression and activities are involved in breast cancer progression.

A common feature of cancer cells is the loss of cell polarity. Scribble is a cell polarity protein with an unknown mechanism for its role in tumour suppression. Changes in the phosphorylation pattern of four serine sites at the C-terminal of scribble, implicate scribble in breast cancer invasion and metastasis. This was due to CD74 overexpression in lymph node metastatic triple negative breast cancers. Investigating how changes in serine phosphorylation status at these sites affect the regulation of invasion and metastasis in breast cancer was the focus of this study. These sites were mutated

Pericyte-endothelial cell interactions modulate angiogenesis and vascular stability in developmental and pathological contexts. Owing to this, pericytes are speculated to be important regulators of tumor growth and metastasis, although their role is not clear.
