Perivascular tenascin C triggers sequential activation of macrophages and endothelial cells to generate a pro-metastatic vascular niche in the lungs

T. Hongu, M. Pein, J. Insua-Rodriguez, J. Meier, K. Decker, A. Descot, A. Riedel, T. Oskarsson

The paper identifies four secreted factors from metastasis-associated endothelial cells that promote breast cancer metastasis by enhancing cancer cell stemness and survival, with perivascular macrophages mediating this effect via the TNC-TLR4 axis.

CXCR3-expressing metastasis-initiating cells induce and exploit a fibroblast niche in the lungs to fuel metastatic colonization

M. Pein, J. Insua-Rodriguez, J. Meier, T. Hongu, L. Wiedmann, M. A. G. Essers, H.-P. Sinn, S. Spaich, M. Sutterlin, A. Schneeweiss, A. Trumpp, T. Oskarsson

This study identifies CXCR3-expressing breast cancer cells that induce fibroblast production of CXCL9/10 via IL-1 and JNK signaling, promoting metastatic colonization in the lungs.
