M2 macrophages do not fly into a “RAGE”
(2017)
Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are key elements in orchestrating host responses inside tumor stroma. This population may undergo a polarized activation process, thus rendering a heterogeneous spectrum of phenotypes, ...
HMGB1 enhances the protumoral activities of M2 macrophages by a RAGE-dependent mechanism
(2016)
The monocyte-macrophage lineage shows a high degree of diversity and plasticity. Once they infiltrate tissues,they may acquire two main functional phenotypes, being known as the classically activated type 1 macrophages ...
Skewed signaling through the receptor for advanced glycation end-products alters the proinflammatory profile of tumor-associated macrophages
(2018)
Tumors are complex tissues composed of variable amounts of both non-cellular components (matrix proteins) and a multitude of stromal cell types, which are under an active cross-talk with tumor cells. Tumor-associated ...
Lysyl oxidase isoforms in gastric cancer
(2016)
Gastric cancer (GC) is the fifth most frequent cancer in the world and shows the highest incidence in Latin America and Asia. An increasing amount of evidence demonstrates that lysyl oxidase isoforms, a group of extracellular ...
Extracellular matrix glycation and receptor for advanced glycation end-products activation: A missing piece in the puzzle of the association between diabetes and cancer
(2018)
A growing body of epidemiologic evidence suggests that people with diabetes are at a significantly higher risk of many forms of cancer. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this association are not fully understood. ...
Inhibition of RAGE Axis signaling: A pharmacological challenge
(2019)
The Receptor for Advanced Glycation End Products (RAGE) is an important cell surface receptor, which belongs to the IgG super family and is now considered as a pattern recognition receptor. Because of its relevance in many ...
Helicobacter pylori infection and lung cancer: New insights and future challenges
(2018)
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is the causative agent of chronic gastritis and peptic ulcer diseases and is an important risk factor for the development functional dyspepsia, peptic ulceration, gastric adenocarcinoma and ...
Gastric tumor microenvironment
(2020)
A compelling body of evidence has demonstrated that gastric cancer has a very particular tumor microenvironment, a signature very suitable to promote tumor progression and metastasis. Recent investigations have provided ...
HMGB1 decreases CCR-2 expression and migration of M2 macrophages under hypoxia
(2019)
Objective: The hypoxic milieu at tumor microenvironment is able to drive the behavior of infiltrating tumor cells. Considering that hypoxia-mediated HMGB1 release is known to promote tumor growth, as well to enhance the ...
