Furthermore, they suggest that cytokines and chemokines made by infiltrating leukocytes and resident stromal cells contribute to this switch.
This model could be used to study how glioblastoma tumour cells co-opt the host stromal cells to enhance tumour cell growth, survival, and invasion.
They also have an intact immune system and the tumour cell challenge and stromal cells are of the same species.
However, the inappropriate temporal and spatial production of constitutive chemokines by stromal cells is an intriguing feature of chronic persistent inflammatory microenvironments.
These data support the notion of a metastatic niche formed by bone marrow and bone stromal cells that promotes metastatic cancer cell growth.
Whether other stromal cells, such as inflammatory cells, also experience such genetic alterations remains to be investigated.
A high number of blue nuclei are found among the stromal cells.
Induction of insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 expression in baboon endometrial stromal cells by cells of throphoblast origin.
The prominent role of stromal cells in the generation and maintenance of these environments has begun to challenge the primacy of the lymphocyte in regulating chronic inflammatory processes.
Thus, galectin-1 expressed by tumour or stromal cells can favour tumour progression through modulation of several mechanisms, including cell migration, adhesion, angiogenesis and tumour immune escape.
