Abstract
The tumor microenvironment is a dynamic, complex, and redundant network of interactions between tumor, immune, and stromal cells. In this intricate environment, cells communicate through membrane-membrane, ligand-receptor, exosome, soluble factors, and transporter interactions that govern cell fate. These interactions activate the diverse and superfluous signaling pathways involved in tumor promotion and progression and induce subtle changes in the functional activity of infiltrating immune cells. The immune response participates as a selective pressure in tumor development. In the early stages of tumor development, the immune response exerts anti-tumor activity, whereas during the advanced stages, the tumor establishes mechanisms to evade the immune response, eliciting a chronic inflammation process that shows a pro-tumor effect. The deregulated inflammatory state, in addition to acting locally, also triggers systemic inflammation that has repercussions in various organs and tissues that are distant from the tumor site, causing the emergence of various symptoms designated as paraneoplastic syndromes, which compromise the response to treatment, quality of life, and survival of cancer patients. Considering the tumor-host relationship as an integral and dynamic biological system, the chronic inflammation generated by the tumor is a communication mechanism among tissues and organs that is primarily orchestrated through different signals, such as cytokines, chemokines, growth factors, and exosomes, to provide the tumor with energetic components that allow it to continue proliferating. In this review, we aim to provide a succinct overview of the involvement of cancer-related inflammation at the local and systemic level throughout tumor development and the emergence of some paraneoplastic syndromes and their main clinical manifestations. In addition, the involvement of these signals throughout tumor development will be discussed based on the physiological/biological activities of innate and adaptive immune cells. These cellular interactions require a metabolic reprogramming program for the full activation of the various cells; thus, these requirements and the by-products released into the microenvironment will be considered. In addition, the systemic impact of cancer-related proinflammatory cytokines on the liver-as a critical organ that produces the leading inflammatory markers described to date-will be summarized. Finally, the contribution of cancer-related inflammation to the development of two paraneoplastic syndromes, myelopoiesis and cachexia, will be discussed.

Abstract
Simple Summary Tumor growth in solid cancers requires adequate nutrient and oxygen supply, provided by blood vessels created by angiogenesis. Numerous studies have demonstrated that this mechanism plays a crucial role in cancer development and appears to be a well-defined hallmark of cancer. This process is carefully regulated, notably by cytokines with pro-angiogenic or anti-angiogenic features. In this review, we will discuss the role of cytokines in the modulation of angiogenesis. In addition, we will summarize the therapeutic approaches based on cytokine modulation and their clinical approval. Abstract During carcinogenesis, tumors set various mechanisms to help support their development. Angiogenesis is a crucial process for cancer development as it drives the creation of blood vessels within the tumor. These newly formed blood vessels insure the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the tumor, helping its growth. The main factors that regulate angiogenesis are the five members of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family. Angiogenesis is a hallmark of cancer and has been the target of new therapies this past few years. However, angiogenesis is a complex phenomenon with many redundancy pathways that ensure its maintenance. In this review, we will first describe the consecutive steps forming angiogenesis, as well as its classical regulators. We will then discuss how the cytokines and chemokines present in the tumor microenvironment can induce or block angiogenesis. Finally, we will focus on the therapeutic arsenal targeting angiogenesis in cancer and the challenges they have to overcome.

Abstract
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most deadly form of brain cancer. Recurrence is common, and established therapies have not been able to significantly extend overall patient survival. One platform through which GBM research can progress is to design biomimetic systems for discovery and investigation into the mechanisms of invasion, cellular properties, as well as the efficacy of therapies. In this review, 2D and 3D GBM in vitro cultures will be discussed. We focus on the effects of biomaterial properties, interactions between stromal cells, and vascular influence on cancer cell survival and progression. This review will summarize critical findings in each of these areas and how they have led to a more comprehensive scientific understanding of GBM.

Tumor suppressor DRD2 facilitates M1 macrophages and restricts NF-κB signaling to trigger pyroptosis in breast cancer. Am J Cancer Res 2021; 11:5214-5231.

Abstract
Rationale: Breast cancer (BrCa) is the most common cancer worldwide, and the 5-year relative survival rate has declined in patients diagnosed at stage IV. Advanced BrCa is considered as incurable, which still lack effective treatment strategies. Identifying and characterizing new tumor suppression genes is important to establish effective prognostic biomarkers or therapeutic targets for late-stage BrCa. Methods: RNA-seq was applied in BrCa tissues and normal breast tissues. Through analyzing differentially expressed genes, DRD2 was selected for further analysis. And expression and promoter methylation status of DRD2 were also determined. DRD2 functions were analyzed by various cell biology assays in vitro. Subcutaneous tumor model was used to explore DRD2 effects in vivo. A co-cultivated system was constructed to investigate interactions of DRD2 and macrophages in vitro. WB, IHC, IF, TUNEL, qRT-PCR, Co-IP, Antibody Array, and Mass Spectrum analysis were further applied to determine the detailed mechanism. Results: In BrCa, DRD2 was found to be downregulated due to promoter methylation. Higher expression of DRD2 positively correlated with longer survival times especially in HER2-positive patients. DRD2 also promoted BrCa cells sensitivity to Paclitaxel. Ectopic expression of DRD2 significantly inhibited BrCa tumorigenesis. DRD2 also induced apoptosis as well as necroptosis in vitro and in vivo. DRD2 restricted NF-κB signaling pathway activation through interacting with β-arrestin2, DDX5 and eEF1A2. Interestingly, DRD2 also regulated microenvironment as it facilitated M1 polarization of macrophages, and triggered GSDME-executed pyroptosis. Conclusion: Collectively, this study novelly manifests the role of DRD2 in suppressing BrCa tumorigenesis, predicting prognosis and treatment response. And this study further reveals the critical role of DRD2 in educating M1 macrophages, restricting NF-κB signaling pathway and triggering different processes of programmed cell death in BrCa. Taking together, those findings represent a predictive and therapeutic target for BrCa.

Endothelial PKA activity regulates angiogenesis by limiting autophagy through phosphorylation of ATG16L1. eLife 2019; 8:e46380.

Abstract
The cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) regulates various cellular functions in health and disease. In endothelial cells PKA activity promotes vessel maturation and limits tip cell formation. Here, we used a chemical genetic screen to identify endothelial-specific direct substrates of PKA in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) that may mediate these effects. Amongst several candidates, we identified ATG16L1, a regulator of autophagy, as novel target of PKA. Biochemical validation, mass spectrometry and peptide spot arrays revealed that PKA phosphorylates ATG16L1α at Ser268 and ATG16L1β at Ser269, driving phosphorylation-dependent degradation of ATG16L1 protein. Reducing PKA activity increased ATG16L1 protein levels and endothelial autophagy. Mouse in vivo genetics and pharmacological experiments demonstrated that autophagy inhibition partially rescues vascular hypersprouting caused by PKA deficiency. Together these results indicate that endothelial PKA activity mediates a critical switch from active sprouting to quiescence in part through phosphorylation of ATG16L1, which in turn reduces endothelial autophagy.

Abstract
The IL-1 family of cytokines are well-known for their primary role in initiating inflammatory responses both in response to and acting as danger signals. It has long been established that IL-1 is capable of simultaneously regulating inflammation and angiogenesis, indeed one of IL-1's earliest names was haemopoeitn-1 due to its pro-angiogenic effects. Other IL-1 family cytokines are also known to have roles in mediating angiogenesis, either directly or indirectly via induction of proangiogenic factors such as VEGF. Of note, some of these family members appear to have directly opposing effects in different tissues and pathologies. Here we will review what is known about how the various IL-1 family members regulate vascular permeability and angiogenic function in a range of different tissues, and describe some of the mechanisms employed to achieve these effects.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in initiation, development, progression and metastasis of tumors. MiR-342 has been reported as a tumor suppressor or an onco-miRNA based on functions or expression changes in various types of cancers. However, the biological roles and underlying molecular mechanisms of miR-342 in tumorigenesis remain largely unknown. Here, we found that miR-342 was expressed significantly less in a murine MS-K tumor cell line that showed riched blood vessels. Over-expression of miR-342 in MS-K cells inhibited cell proliferation, colony formation, reduced frequency of S phase population in vitro and suppressed tumor growth in vivo. Moreover, increasing miR-342 impeded blood vessels formation and accumulation of macrophages (CD11b+ ) in tumors. By bioinformatic analysis and dual-luciferase reporter assays, chemokine CXCL12 was identified as a direct target of miR-342. Restored Cxcl12 expression in MS-K-miR-342 cells could rescue cell proliferation in vitro. In MS-K-miR-342 tumor-infiltrated macrophages, expression of proangiogenic genes (Vegf-A and Thbs1) and M2-subtype macrophage markers (Cd163, Dectin1 and Ym1) was significantly down-regulated compared with controls. Moreover, lower level of Cxcl12 and its receptor Cxcr4 was observed in the macrophages of MS-K-miR-342 tumors, and MS-K-miR-342 derived miR-342, but not endogenous miR-342, might contribute to Cxcl12 suppression in TAM. These results suggest that miR-342 is involved in MS-K tumor growth as a tumor suppressor by targeting chemokine CXCL12.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aim to explain the correlation among IL-18 gene polymorphism, its protein expression and LEDVT in the Chinese Han population. METHODS A total of 138 LEDVT patients and 150 healthy people volunteered as LEDVT and control groups. All the data, including the gender, age, BMI, levels of TG, LDL/HDL, TC, GLU, APTT, BUN, Cr, ALT, AST, ApoA1, ApoB, and Fg was detected. IL-18 level, IL-18 -137G/C and -607C/A polymorphism, and risk factors of LEDVT were detected using ELISA, PCR-RFLP and multivariate logistic regression analysis, respectively. RESULTS Increased BMI, GLU, Fg, BUN, ApoB and IL-18 and decreased APTT were found in the LEDVT group. The GC + CC genotype and C allele in -137G/C polymorphism was elevated in the control group when compared to that in the LEDVT group. The IL-18 level was elevated in the case group when compared to the control group with respect to the same genotype in -607C/A and -137G/C polymorphisms, and in the LEDVT group, IL-18 level was higher in the GG genotype than that in the GC + CC genotype of -137G/C polymorphism. BUN, GG genotype and IL-18 level were independent risk factors, but APTT was a protective factor of LEDVT. CONCLUSION On the basis of our results, we concluded that the GG genotype of -137G/C polymorphism and IL-18 level are independent risk factors of LEDVT, and IL-18 gene polymorphism affects the level of IL-18 in LEDVT patients.

Abstract
Inflammatory myopathy is a rare autoimmune muscle disorder. Treatment typically focuses on skeletal muscle weakness or inflammation within muscle, as well as complications of respiratory failure secondary to respiratory muscle weakness. Impaired respiratory muscle function contributes to increased dyspnea and reduced exercise capacity in pulmonary hypertension (PH), a debilitating condition that has few treatment options. The initiation and progression of PH is associated with inflammation and inflammatory cell recruitment and it is established that hypoxia-induced mitogenic factor (HIMF, also known as resistin-like molecule α), activates macrophages in PH. However, the relationship between HIMF and inflammatory myoblasts remains unclear. This study investigated the signaling pathway involved in interleukin-18 (IL-18) expression and its relationship with HIMF in cultured myoblasts. We found that HIMF increased IL-18 production in myoblasts and that secreted IL-18 promoted tube formation of the endothelial progenitor cells. We used the mouse xenograft model and the chick chorioallantoic membrane assay to further explore the role of HIMF in inflammatory myoblasts and angiogenesis in vivo. Thus, our study focused on the mechanism by which HIMF mediates IL-18 expression in myoblasts through angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo. Our findings provide an insight into HIMF functioning in inflammatory myoblasts.

Abstract
Gliomas are the most common solid tumors among central nervous system tumors. Most glioma patients succumb to their disease within two years of the initial diagnosis. The median survival of gliomas is only 14.6 months, even after aggressive therapy with surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. Gliomas are heavily infiltrated with myeloid- derived cells and endothelial cells. Increasing evidence suggests that these myeloid- derived cells interact with tumor cells promoting their growth and migration. NLRs (nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-containing protein like receptors) are a class of pattern recognition receptors that are critical to sensing pathogen and danger associated molecular patterns. Mutations in some NLRs lead to autoinflammatory diseases in humans. Moreover, dysregulated NLR signaling is central to the pathogenesis of several cancers, autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases. Our review explores the role of angiogenic factors that contribute to upstream or downstream signaling pathways leading to NLRs. Angiogenesis plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of variety of tumors including gliomas. Though NLRs have been detected in several cancers including gliomas and NLR signaling contributes to angiogenesis, the exact role and mechanism of involvement of NLRs in glioma angiogenesis remain largely unexplored. We discuss cellular, molecular and genetic studies of NLR signaling and convergence of NLR signaling pathways with angiogenesis signaling in gliomas. This may lead to re-appropriation of existing anti-angiogenic therapies or development of future strategies for targeted therapeutics in gliomas.

Abstract
We previously demonstrated that IL-18 and CCL11 were highly expressed in an NFSA tumor cell line that showed limited angiogenesis and severe necrosis. However, IL-18 was not responsible for the immune cell accumulation and necrosis. Here, we attempted to clarify the relevance of CCL11 in angiogenesis and tumor formation. We established CCL11-overexpressing MS-K cell clones (MS-K-CCL11) to assess the role of CCL11 in immune cell accumulation and angiogenesis. The MS-K-CCL11 cells did not form tumors in mice. MS-K-CCL11-conditioned medium (CM) and recombinant CCL11 induced macrophage and eosinophil differentiation from bone marrow cells. The MS-K-CCL11-CM effectively recruited the differentiated eosinophils. Furthermore, the eosinophils damaged the MS-K, NFSA and endothelial cells in a dose-dependent manner. Administration of an antagonist of CCR3, a CCL11 receptor, to NFSA tumor-bearing mice restored the blood vessel formation and blocked the eosinophil infiltration into the NFSA tumors. Furthermore, other CCL11-overexpressing LM8 clones were established, and their tumor formation ability was reduced compared to the parental LM8 cells, accompanied by increased eosinophil infiltration, blockade of angiogenesis and necrosis. These results indicate that CCL11 was responsible for the limited angiogenesis and necrosis by inducing and attracting eosinophils in the tumors.
