Lactate-induced IL-8 pathway in endothelial cells--letter

|April 5, 2012
Abstract:
Végran and colleagues proposed a model in which the lactate released from tumor cells through MCT4 would be taken up by endothelial cells via the MCT1 transporter and stimulate angiogenesis, using human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) as model of tumor endothelial cells. By analyzing a total of 505 cases of human tumor samples immunostained for MCT1, we do not confirm plasma membrane expression of MCT1 in the endothelial cells of tumor-associated vessels.

01:26Acute Inflammation II: Cellular Phase
The cellular phase of acute inflammation is a tightly orchestrated sequence of events that recruits leukocytes, primarily neutrophils, to sites of tissue injury or infection. Following the initial vascular changes, this phase ensures effective immune cell migration, activation, and function at the affected site to eliminate pathogens and initiate tissue repair.Leukocyte Recruitment CascadeLeukocyte recruitment happens in four steps: margination, adhesion, transmigration, and chemotaxis. Reduced...
02:26NF-κB-dependent Signaling Pathway
The transcription factor NF-κB was discovered in 1986 in the lab of Nobel laureate Professor David Baltimore, for its interaction with the immunoglobulin light chain enhancer in B-cells. After more than three decades of study, it is now evident that NF-κB regulates the expression of over 100 genes. Most of these genes play an essential role in the innate and adaptive immune responses as well as the inflammatory responses of animals.
