Abstract
Increased or decreased expression of LIF receptor (LIFr) has been reported in several human cancers, including skin cancer, but its role in melanoma is unknown. In this study, we investigated the expression pattern of LIFr in melanoma and assessed its prognostic value. Using tissue microarrays consisting of 441 melanomas and 96 nevi, we found that no normal nevi showed high LIFr expression. LIFr staining was significantly increased in primary melanoma compared to dysplastic nevi (P = 0.0003) and further increased in metastatic melanoma (P = 0.0000). Kaplan–Meier survival curve and univariate Cox regression analyses showed that increased expression of LIFr was correlated with poorer 5-year patient survival (overall survival, P = 0.0000; disease-specific survival, P = 0.0000). Multivariate Cox regression analyses indicated that increased LIFr expression was an independent prognostic marker for primary melanoma (P = 0.036). LIFr knockdown inhibited melanoma cell migration in wound healing assays and reduced stress fiber formation. LIFr knockdown correlated with STAT3 suppression, but not YAP, suggesting that LIFr activation might stimulate melanoma cell migration through the STAT3 pathway. Our data indicate that strong LIFr expression identifies potentially highly malignant melanocytic lesions at an early stage and LIFr may be a potential target for the development of early intervention therapeutics.

Abstract
The leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) has been demonstrated to be an oncogene and participated in multiple procedures during the initiation and progression of many human malignancies. However, the role of LIF in osteosarcoma is still largely unknown. Here, we performed a series of in vitro and in vivo experiments to investigate the expression and biological functions of LIF in osteosarcoma. Compared to that in the non-cancerous tissues, LIF was significantly overexpressed in a panel of 68 osteosarcoma samples (p < 0.0001). Moreover, the overexpression of LIF was significantly correlated with advanced tumor stage, larger tumor size, and shorter overall survival. In addition, knockdown of LIF notably suppressed the proliferation and invasion of osteosarcoma via blocking the STAT3 signal pathway; in contrast, treatment with the recombinant LIF protein significantly promoted the growth and invasion of osteosarcoma through enhancing the phosphorylation of STAT3, which can be partially neutralized by the STAT3 inhibitor, HO-3867. In conclusion, we demonstrated that LIF was frequently overexpressed in osteosarcoma, which could promote the growth and invasion through activating the STAT3 pathway. Our findings proposed that LIF might be a potent therapeutic target for osteosarcoma.

Abstract
Neuroblastoma tumors are derived from the neural crest and exhibit substantial phenotypic heterogeneity and various degrees of differentiation and maturation. The identification of new cell surface markers in neuroblastoma has relevance to disease classification and therapy. As a means to categorize neuroblastomas based on cell surface protein expression, we have obtained a comprehensive profile of the cell surface proteome of the MYCN nonamplified SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cell line. Biotinylated cell surface proteins were captured using an avidin affinity column, fractionated by reversed-phase chromatography and subjected to in-depth analysis by LC-MS/MS. An extensive list of proteins was established and a subset of surface membrane proteins was assessed by immunohistochemistry in a set of neuroblastoma tissue microarrays. Among identified proteins tested, NCAM and CD147 exhibited increased expression in poorly differentiated tumors (p < 0.01 and <0.03, respectively). CD147 expression was previously associated with aggressive carcinomas but has not been described in neuroblastoma. This comprehensive neuroblastoma cell surface profile has identified novel potential markers for neuroblastoma classification and novel potential targets for therapy.

Abstract
Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), the most abundant immunosuppressive cells in the tumor microenvironment, originate from blood monocytes and exhibit an IL-10(high)IL-12(low) M2 profile. The factors involved in TAM generation remain unidentified. We identify here leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and IL-6 as tumor microenvironmental factors that can promote TAM generation. Ovarian cancer ascites switched monocyte differentiation into TAM-like cells that exhibit most ovarian TAM functional and phenotypic characteristics. Ovarian cancer ascites contained high concentrations of LIF and IL-6. Recombinant LIF and IL-6 skew monocyte differentiation into TAM-like cells by enabling monocytes to consume monocyte-colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF). Depletion of LIF, IL-6, and M-CSF in ovarian cancer ascites suppressed TAM-like cell induction. We extended these observations to different tumor-cell line supernatants. In addition to revealing a new tumor-escape mechanism associated with TAM generation via LIF and IL-6, these findings offer novel therapeutic perspectives to subvert TAM-induced immunosuppression and hence improve T-cell-based antitumor immunotherapy efficacy.

Abstract
Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) is a polyfunctional cytokine with a variety and a diverse range of biological activities. However, this is a reflection of the fact that the cytokine is expressed in many different tissues, has a wide target cell range, and fulfills different functions in different tissues. The purpose of this article is to examine what is known about LIF expression in the skin and to consider whether LIF plays a role in inflammatory and hyperplastic events in the skin. LIF is strongly expressed in skin tumors, and recent studies indicate that it may affect tumor growth by several different mechanisms. The biological activities of LIF relevant to carcinogenesis, its expression, and signal transduction by the LIF receptor are described. Expression of LIF in normal skin by skin tumors and its induction by ultraviolet radiation and proinflammatory stimuli are discussed, as are possible interactions between LIF, mast cells, and tumor growth. We consider what role LIF and other members of the hemopoietin family of cytokines play in healthy and diseased skin and whether LIF could play a role in hyperplastic skin disorders. LIF appears to be an important cytokine for normal keratinocyte growth and wound healing and may be involved in regulating the proliferation of skin tumors. Accordingly, LIF may be a useful target for anticancer therapy and as a growth factor for normal skin during reconstructive surgery.

Abstract
The human embryonic kidney (HEK293) cell line, commonly used for recombinant adenovirus (Ad) propagation, does not express the Ad coreceptor alpha(v)beta3 or alpha(v)beta5 integrins, yet these cells are efficiently infected by Ad vectors. Here we demonstrate that Ad binds to HEK293 cells via the fiber receptor CAR and is subsequently internalized via interaction with integrin alpha(v)beta1. Function-blocking antibodies directed against alpha(v) or beta1, but not beta3, beta5, or alpha5, integrin subunits block Ad infection and viral endocytosis. Therefore, alpha(v)beta1 serves as a coreceptor for Ad infection, and the lack of beta3 and/or beta5 but the relatively high expression of alpha(v)beta1 integrins on certain tumor cell types may explain why these cells are readily transduced by Ad vectors.

Abstract
Fertilization, implantation, and placentation are dynamic cellular events that require not only synchrony between the maternal environment and the embryo, but also complex cell-to-cell communication. This communication involves integrins, a large family of proteins involved in the attachment, migration, invasion, and control of cellular function. Over the past decade, investigators have learned that integrins participate in multiple reproductive events including fertilization, implantation, and placentation in many species. This review will describe: (i) the expression of integrins on gametes and during the establishment and development of the placenta; (ii) regulatory pathways for controlling expression of integrins in the uterus and developing placenta; (iii) the function of integrins as determined by null-mutations; and (iv) reproductive dysfunction in women related to inappropriate integrin expression in the uterus and/or placenta.

Abstract
We investigated the effect of TNF alpha, IL-1alpha and IFN gamma on two neuroblastoma (NB) cell lines (SK-N-SH and SK-N-MC). These lines responded differentially to IL-1alpha, TNF alpha and IFN gamma for MCP-1 and IL-8 production and expression of the ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 adhesion molecules. None of the cytokines induced MCP-1 or IL-8 on SK-N-MC cells. Both chemokines were produced in response to IL-1alpha by SK-N-SH cells, while TNF alpha induced mainly MCP-1 production. Addition of IFN gamma decreased IL-8, but not MCP-1 production. These responses correlated with monocyte and neutrophil chemotactic activity in NB culture supernatants. This activity was neutralized by antibodies to IL-8 and MCP-1. The expression of ICAM-1 on SK-N-MC was up-regulated by TNF alpha or IFN gamma, while IL-1alpha also upregulated ICAM-1 on SK-N-SH cells. VCAM-1 expression on SK-N-SH was induced by IL-1alpha and TNF alpha and IFN gamma synergized with TNF alpha in this respect on both NB cell lines. These results suggest that mechanisms for chemokine production and VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 upregulation by inflammatory cytokines differ and IFN gamma, in conjunction with TNF alpha, stimulate neural cell responses (high MCP-1 and VCAM-1 and decreased IL-8) favouring mononuclear cell recruitment.
