- Research ArticleInterleukin-8 Dedifferentiates Primary Human Luminal Cells to Multipotent Stem Cells
During aging, cellular plasticity and senescence play important roles in tissue regeneration and the pathogenesis of different diseases, including cancer. We have recently shown that senescent breast luminal cells can activate their adjacent stromal fibroblasts. In the present report, we present clear evidence that these senescence-related active fibroblasts can dedifferentiate proliferating primary human luminal cells to multipotent...
- Research ArticleInterleukin-8 Activates Breast Cancer-Associated Adipocytes and Promotes Their Angiogenesis- and Tumorigenesis-Promoting Effects
Increasing evidence supports the critical role of active stromal adipocytes in breast cancer development and spread. However, the mediators and the mechanisms of action are still elusive.
- Research ArticleMyc-Associated Zinc Finger Protein Regulates the Proinflammatory Response in Colitis and Colon Cancer via STAT3 Signaling
Myc-associated zinc finger (MAZ) is a transcription factor highly upregulated in chronic inflammatory disease and several human cancers. In the present study, we found that MAZ protein is highly expressed in human ulcerative colitis and colon cancer.
