Hypoxia induces macrophage polarization and re-education toward an M2 phenotype in U87 and U251 glioblastoma models
5 Jun 2015
Abstract excerpt
Hypoxia is a common feature of solid tumors, particularly in glioblastoma (GBM), and known to be a poor prognosis factor in GBM patients. The growth of GBM is also associated with a marked inflammation partially characterized by an accumulation of macrophage (MΦ) of the M2 phenotype. However, the transition between M1 MΦ (antitumoral) and M2 MΦ (protumoral) phenotypes is a dynamic process. We made the assumption...
