Agr2 mediates paracrine effects on stromal fibroblasts that promote invasion by gastric signet-ring carcinoma cells

Agr2 is a member of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) protein disulfide isomerase, which physiologically regulates protein folding and plays a pivotal role in resistance to ER stress. Agr2 is expressed primarily in adenocarcinomas of various organs, and A...

Agr2 Promotes Fibroblast-Associated Cancer Invasion

Agr2 is a disulfide isomerase residing in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), which physiologically regulates protein folding and mediates resistance to ER stress. Agr2 is overexpressed in adenocarcinomas of various organs, where it participates in neopla...

In vivo radioimaging of bradykinin receptor B1, a widely overexpressed molecule in human cancer

The bradykinin receptor B1R is overexpressed in many human cancers where it might be used as a general target for cancer imaging. In this study, we evaluated the feasibility of using radiolabeled kallidin derivatives to visualize B1R expression in a pr...

Bradykinin Receptor B1 Imaging

The bradykinin receptor B1R is overexpressed in many human cancers where it might be used as a general target for cancer imaging. In this study, we evaluated the feasibility of using radiolabeled kallidin derivatives to visualize B1R expression in a p...

Fibroblastic Snail Imposes a Prometastatic Niche

Crosstalk between tumor and stromal cells in the tumor microenvironment alter its properties in ways that facilitate the invasive behavior of tumor cells. Here, we demonstrate that cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) increase the stiffness of the extr...
