The matricellular protein CYR61 interferes with normal pancreatic islets architecture and promotes pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor progression

Huang, Yu-Ting ; Lan, Qiang ; Ponsonnet, Lionel ; Blanquet, Marisa ; Christofori, Gerhard ; Zaric, Jelena ; Rüegg, Curzio

In: Oncotarget, 2015, vol. 7, no. 2, p. 1663–1674

The significance of matricellular proteins during development and cancer progression is widely recognized. However, how these proteins actively contribute to physiological development and pathological cancer progression is only partially elucidated. In this study, we investigated the role of the matricellular protein Cysteine-rich 61 (CYR61) in pancreatic islet development and carcinogenesis....

An immature B cell population from peripheral blood serves as surrogate marker for monitoring tumor angiogenesis and anti-angiogenic therapy in mouse models

Fagiani, Ernesta ; Bill, Ruben ; Pisarsky, Laura ; Ivanek, Robert ; Rüegg, Curzio ; Christofori, Gerhard

In: Angiogenesis, 2015, vol. 18, no. 3, p. 327–345

Tumor growth depends on the formation of new blood vessels (tumor angiogenesis) either from preexisting vessels or by the recruitment of bone marrow-derived cells. Despite encouraging results obtained with preclinical cancer models, the therapeutic targeting of tumor angiogenesis has thus far failed to deliver an enduring clinical response in cancer patients. One major obstacle for improving...

Concepts of metastasis in flux: the stromal progression model

Sleeman, Jonathan P. ; Christofori, Gerhard ; Fodde, Riccardo ; Collard, John G. ; Berx, Geert ; Decraene, Charles ; Rüegg, Curzio

In: Seminars in Cancer Biology, 2012, p. -

The ability of tumor cells to leave a primary tumor, to disseminate through the body, and to ultimately seed new secondary tumors is universally agreed to be the basis for metastasis formation. An accurate description of the cellular and molecular mechanisms that underlie this multistep process would greatly facilitate the rational development of therapies that effectively allow metastatic...
