Abstract
Activated platelets may contribute to the metastatic behavior of tumor cells when the cancer cells and platelets interact. The interaction requires cell and platelet surface integrin. Thyroid hormone as L-thyroxine (T4) is the principal ligand for a hormone receptor on integrin αvβ3 on tumor cells and platelets. T4 activates the integrin, promoting platelet aggregation and degranulation (local ATP release) and stimulating tumor cell proliferation. By a variety of molecular mechanisms reviewed here, extracellular ATP promotes tumor cell invasiveness and metastasis and supports a role for T4 as a pro-metastatic factor.
期刊介绍:
Hormones and Cancer is a unique multidisciplinary translational journal featuring basic science, pre-clinical, epidemiological, and clinical research papers. It covers all aspects of the interface of Endocrinology and Oncology. Thus, the journal covers two main areas of research: Endocrine tumors (benign & malignant tumors of hormone secreting endocrine organs) and the effects of hormones on any type of tumor. We welcome all types of studies related to these fields, but our particular attention is on translational aspects of research. In addition to basic, pre-clinical, and epidemiological studies, we encourage submission of clinical studies including those that comprise small series of tumors in rare endocrine neoplasias and/or negative or confirmatory results provided that they significantly enhance our understanding of endocrine aspects of oncology. The journal does not publish case studies.
