- Medicine
- BJU international
- 1 May 2003
To assess whether adipocytes (mesenchymal stromal cells thought to affect the proliferation and differentiation of epithelial cells) affect the behaviour of prostate cancer cells in vitro, as… Expand
CXCL12/CXCR4 activation by cancer‐associated fibroblasts promotes integrin β1 clustering and invasiveness in gastric cancer
- D. Izumi, T. Ishimoto, +20 authors H. Baba
- Biology, Medicine
- International journal of cancer
- 28 September 2015
Cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are reportedly involved in invasion and metastasis in several types of cancer, including gastric cancer (GC), through the stimulation of CXCL12/CXCR4 signaling.… Expand
Small molecule agonists of PPAR-γ exert therapeutic effects in esophageal cancer.
- H. Sawayama, T. Ishimoto, +10 authors H. Baba
- Chemistry, Medicine
- Cancer research
- 15 January 2014
The transcription factor PPAR-γ plays various roles in lipid metabolism, inflammation, cellular differentiation, and apoptosis. PPAR-γ agonists used to treat diabetes may have utility in cancer… Expand
Chronic inflammation with Helicobacter pylori infection is implicated in CD44 overexpression through miR-328 suppression in the gastric mucosa
- T. Ishimoto, Daisuke Izumi, +13 authors H. Baba
- Medicine
- Journal of Gastroenterology
- 1 July 2015
BackgroundInfection with Helicobacter pylori is the main risk factor for development of gastric cancer. CD44 overexpression, especially that of variant 9 (CD44v9), has also been implicated in the… Expand
Cancer-associated fibroblast-derived CXCL12 causes tumor progression in adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction
- H. Sugihara, T. Ishimoto, +16 authors H. Baba
- Biology, Medicine
