In contrast to the conventional notion regarding tumour development as a cell autonomous process in which the major participants were the cancer cells, increasing evidence attributes important role in the stromal components, namely fibroblasts, and view the tumour as a heterogenous mixture of different cell types. These different types of cells, being cancer cells, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and others, interact reciprocally and play an almost equally important role in the manifestation of certain aspects of the malignant phenotype. The elucidation of the mechanistic base of such interactions, besides the contribution to understand fundamental aspects of tumour cell biology, promises important applications in diagnosis, prognosis and therapy of the disease.

Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) stimulates the production and release of growth hormone in the pituitary and induces cell proliferation in a variety of peripheral tissues and tumors. These extrapituitary effects of GHRH are in many cases mediated by a splice variant of GHRH receptor designated SV1 that differs from the pituitary GHRH receptor in a small portion of its amino-terminal region. While SV1 has been detected in several primary tumors and many cancer cell lines its expression in normal tissues remains unclear. In this study we report the results of an immunohistochemical analysis for SV1 and GHRH expression in normal mouse tissues. For the detection of SV1 immunoreactivity we used a polyclonal antiserum against segments 1-25 of the SV1 receptor protein. Mouse heart, colon, lungs, small intestine, stomach and kidneys exhibited increased SV1 immunoreactivity. These tissues were also positive for GHRH expression, however, tissues such as the endometrium were positive only for GHRH and not for SV1 expression. On the contrary, testis were positive for SV1 and not for GHRH expression. These results indicate that SV1 may play a role in normal physiology. 相似文献

The identity of mammary stem and progenitor cells remains poorly understood, mainly as a result of the lack of robust markers. The Notch signaling pathway has been implicated in mammary gland development as well as in tumorigenesis in this tissue. Elevated expression of the Notch3 receptor has been correlated to the highly aggressive “triple negative” human breast cancer. However, the specific cells expressing this Notch paralogue in the mammary gland remain unknown. Using a conditionally inducible Notch3-CreERT2SAT transgenic mouse, we genetically marked Notch3-expressing cells throughout mammary gland development and followed their lineage in vivo. We demonstrate that Notch3 is expressed in a highly clonogenic and transiently quiescent luminal progenitor population that gives rise to a ductal lineage. These cells are capable of surviving multiple successive pregnancies, suggesting a capacity to self-renew. Our results also uncover a role for the Notch3 receptor in restricting the proliferation and consequent clonal expansion of these cells. 相似文献

ERp29 is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) luminal protein with a putative secretion factor/escort chaperone function. Accumulated evidence has implicated ERp29 in the thyroglobulin secretion, polyoma virus transport and recently in carcinogenesis. ERp29 levels were elevated in the tumors of various origins and under the conditions of genotoxic stress, such as ionizing radiation. Here we report the induction of ERp29 during the treatment of cells with doxorubicin, a commonly used antineoplastic agent. Experiments in the p53 −/− cells and p53 knockout mouse revealed that doxorubicin effect on ERp29 is p53 dependent. The increase of ERp29 level appears to activate a negative feedback loop where the elevated amounts of ERp29 augment cell viability as shown by a clonogenic cell survival assay. To elucidate the mechanisms behind the doxorubicin effects we have studied the impact of ERp29 on the interaction with the ER stress-activated eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2-alpha kinase 3 (PERK) that was shown to facilitate tumor cells' resistance to drug toxicity. Co-immunoprecipitation demonstrated physical interaction of ERp29 with PERK and moreover, overexpression of ERp29 enhanced endogenous levels of PERK. Our results identify ERp29 as a novel regulator of PERK and provide evidence for the role of ER resident factors in the regulation of chemotherapeutic efficacy. These findings show that PERK may represent a nodal point between ER stress and chemotherapeutic response. 相似文献
