Touch receptor plays role in blood-tumor barrier

Nov. 3, 2022
By Anette Breindl
In 2021, Ardem Patapoutian won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his discovery of the mechanosensitive receptors Piezo1 and Piezo2. The receptors, which are ion channels that respond to mechanical pressure, are important in touch sensation, as well as regulating processes including bladder control and blood pressure. Now, investigators at The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Canada, and Central South University’s Xiangya Hospital have discovered a decidedly ignoble role for Piezo2.

‘Mini-bones’ are metastasis model

Oct. 14, 2022
By Subhasree Nag
Investigators from the University of Copenhagen, Denmark have developed a cell line engineered to express bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) and key extracellular matrix genes and critical factors that regulate and support human hematopoiesis. The findings were reported in the Oct. 12, 2022, issue of Science Translational Medicine. One of the clinical applications that the research team is interested in involves exploiting the MSOD-B hOss as a tumor model for bone colonization in the context of various cancers.

BRMS1 single-nucleotide polymorphism increases metastasis risk in lung adenocarcinoma patients

Oct. 13, 2022
About 50% of patients with lung cancer present with metastatic disease; researchers have shown that breast cancer metastasis-suppressor 1 (BRMS1) suppresses metastases in non-small-cell lung cancer and other solid tumors due to its ability to function in a multiprotein histone deacetylase transcriptional corepressor complex or as an E3 ligase to control the degradation of p300 acetyltransferase.

Loss of PHGDH potentiates metastatic dissemination

May 24, 2022
By Nuala Moran
Variable expression of an enzyme in the initial tumor has been identified as an early step in the process of migration and growth of cells to form remote metastases in breast cancer.

Researchers in China find evidence in mice that bacteria in tumors help cancer cells metastasize

April 8, 2022
By Tamra Sami
Researchers in China have discovered that bacteria promote cancer metastasis by bolstering the strength of host cells against mechanical stress in the bloodstream, promoting cell survival during tumor progression.

Heating cold tumors one subtype, and one cell type, at a time

March 8, 2022
By Anette Breindl
“In 2015, when I started in this field…. people considered breast cancer a cold tumor,” Marleen Kok told the audience at the European Society of Medical Oncology’s 2022 Targeted Anticancer Therapy meeting (ESMO TAT). But the sensitivity of breast cancer to immunotherapy, or lack thereof, is “not a black and white phenomenon.”

Tumors, metastases activate mTOR in different ways

Dec. 21, 2020
By Anette Breindl
Investigators at KU Leuven have discovered that although mTOR signaling was important in primary breast tumors and lung metastases alike, the signals that activated mTOR were different between the two, and mTOR signaling could be inhibited through different mechanisms.

Lipid metabolism controls lung cancer metastasis, not just diseases like atherosclerosis

Sep. 30, 2020
By W. Todd Penberthy
Researchers working at the Jackson Laboratory Cancer Center reported in the September 21, 2020, issue of Nature Immunology that breast cancer cells induced neutrophils to accumulate lipids, which were transported to metastatic tumor cells through a macropinocytosis pathway, thus fueling the metastatic potential of tumor cells with lipids.

Metastatic migration is collective effort for colorectal cancers

Sep. 22, 2020
By Anette Breindl
The European Society for Medical Oncology is slanted toward clinical medicine, and plenary sessions at the ESMO Virtual Congress 2020 featured phase III trials on approved drugs. But there were smaller sessions devoted to basic science as well. At one of those sessions, several researchers shared new insights into metastasis.

Study links mitochondrial DNA to abscopal response

Aug. 7, 2020
By Anette Breindl
Investigators at Weill Cornell Medical College have demonstrated that mitochondrial DNA drives the abscopal antitumor response to radiation, which can be boosted by autophagy inhibition.
