Cell-extrinsic consequences of epithelial stress: activation of protumorigenic tissue phenotypes
7 Dec 2012
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Tumors are characterized by alterations in the epithelial and stromal compartments, which both contribute to tumor promotion. However, where, when, and how the tumor stroma develops is still poorly understood. We previously demonstrated that DNA damage or telomere malfunction induces an activin A-dependent epithelial stress response that activates cell-intrinsic and cell-extrinsic consequences in...
