In conclusion, our findings show that M2-medium enriched in TNFα and LTD<sub>4</sub> promote colon cancer cell invasion via MMP-9 expression and activation and the induction of EMT.
MATERIAL AND METHODS We evaluated the expression of TNF-α in 108 human colon cancer tissue samples and 2 colon cancer cell lines (CT26 and HCT116), and analyzed its prognostic values.
The purpose of this study was to test if IL-17 and TNF-α may synergistically induce PD-L1 expression in human prostate cancer LNCaP and human colon cancer HCT116 cell lines.
Inulins inhibited the development of dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis and colon cancer in mice; these fructans reduced the concentration of tumor necrosis factor alpha and prevented the formation of intestinal polyps, villous atrophy, and lymphoid hyperplasia.
The aim of the study was to examine the influence of inositol hexaphosphate (IP6), a naturally occurring phytochemical, on the expression of genes encoding COX and LOX isoforms and synthesis of their products (PGE<sub>2</sub> and LTB<sub>4</sub>) in colon cancer cell line Caco-2 stimulated with pro-inflammatory agents (IL-1β/TNFα).
In the present study, the effect of TNF-α on the regulation of TROP-2 expression and its effect in colon cancer cell migration and invasion were investigated <i>in vitro</i>.
Inhibition of TNFα in peritoneal fluids of patients following colorectal resection attenuates the postoperative stress-related increase in colon cancer cell migration: A prospective, in vitro study.
In vitro, the CT26 and MC38 murine colon cancer cell lines were shown to upregulate IDO expression following stimulation with interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α).
Because miR-21 is positively involved in cell survival and TNF-α promotes necrosis, we found it interesting to analyze the presence of miR-21 in areas of TNF-α mRNA expression at the invasive front of colon cancers.
The protective effect of the extracts was assessed in vitro against hydrogen peroxide-induced lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)α gene expression in colon cancer HCT116 cell line.
Importantly, we further demonstrated that overexpressing PHD2 attenuated inflammation in colon cancer xenograft mice through weakening accumulation of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and M2-like tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), as well as secretions of pro-inflammatory cytokines including G-CSF, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8, IL-1β, and IL-4.
