Novel Concept

: In recent years, it has become increasingly evident that cancer cells and the local microenvironment are crucial in the development and progression of tumors. One of the major components of the tumor microenvironment is the extracellular matrix (ECM), which comprises a complex mixture of components, including proteins, glycoproteins, proteoglycans, and polysaccharides. In addition to providing structural and biochemical support to tumor tissue, the ECM undergoes remodeling that alters the biochemical and mechanical properties of the tumor microenvironment and contributes to tumor progression and resistance to therapy. A novel concept has emerged, in which tumor-driven ECM remodeling affects the release of ECM components into peripheral blood, the levels of which are potential diagnostic or prognostic markers for tumors. This review discusses the most recent evidence on ECM remodeling-derived signals that are detectable in the bloodstream, as new early diagnostic and risk prediction tools for the most frequent solid cancers.

Brain Extracellular Matrix

SummaryThe brain extracellular matrix (ECM) assembles around neurons and synapses, and is thought to change only rarely, through proteolysis and renewed protein synthesis. We report here an alternative ECM remodeling mechanism, based on the recycling of ECM molecules. We found that a key ECM protein, Tenascin-R, is frequently endocytosed, and later resurfaces, preferentially near synapses. The TNR molecules complete this cycle within ∼3 days, in an activity-dependent fashion.

Tumor Associated Macrophages

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are one of the most abundant immune cells in the tumor microenvironment, and they play a pivotal role in prompting the various tumor growth. However, the role of TAMs in colorectal carcinoma (CRC) is controversial, because a few papers report that TAMs is beneficial to CRC patients. In this review, we discuss the good or bad roles of TAMs in CRC progression. Interestingly, recent studies provide strong evidence that TAMs facilitate CRC growth, but do not exert tumor suppressive activities. TAMs can stimulate CRC growth by altering extracellular matrix remodeling, tumor metabolism, angiogenesis, as well as the tumor microenvironment. Therefore, TAMs could serve as a target for CRC therapeutic treatment.

Exercise seems to enhance the beneficial effect of bariatric surgery (RYGB) on insulin resistance. We hypothesized that skeletal muscle extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling may underly these benefits. Women were randomized to either a combined aerobic and resistance exercise training program following RYGB or standard of care (RYGB). Insulin sensitivity was assessed by OGTT. Muscle biopsies were obtained at baseline, and 3 and 9 months after surgery and subjected to comprehensive phenotyping, transcriptome profiling, molecular pathway identification and validation <i>in vitro</i>. Exercise training improved insulin sensitivity beyond surgery alone (<i>e.g</i>., Matsuda index - RYGB: +123% vs. RYGB + ET: +325%; <i>P </i>≤ 0.0001). ECM remodeling was reduced by surgery alone, with an additive benefit of surgery and exercise training (<i>e.g.,</i> collagen I - RYGB: -41% vs. RYGB + ET: -76%; <i>P </i>≤ 0.0001). Exercise and RYGB had an additive effect on enhancing insulin sensitivity, but surgery alone did not resolve insulin resistance and ECM remodeling. We identified candidates modulated by exercise training that may become therapeutic targets for treating insulin resistance, in particular, the transforming growth factor-beta 1/SMAD 2/3 pathway and its antagonist follistatin. Exercise-induced increases in insulin sensitivity after bariatric surgery are at least partially mediated by muscle extracellular matrix remodeling.

Infarcted Myocardium

Myocardial Infarction (MI) initiates a series of wound healing events that begins with up-regulation of an inflammatory response and culminates in scar formation. The extracellular matrix (ECM) is intricately involved in all stages from initial break down of existing ECM to synthesis of new ECM to form the scar. This review will summarize our current knowledge on the processes involved in ECM remodeling after MI and identify the gaps that still need to be filled.

Tissue Receptors

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a network of different proteins and proteoglycans that controls differentiation, migration, repair, survival, and development, and it seems that its remodeling is required for healthy adipose tissue expansion. Obesity drives an excessive lipid accumulation in adipocytes, which provokes immune cells infiltration, fibrosis (an excess of deposition of ECM components such as collagens, elastin, and fibronectin) and inflammation, considered a consequence of local hypoxia, and ultimately insulin resistance. To understand the mechanism of this process is a challenge to treat the metabolic diseases. This review is focused at identifying the putative role of ECM in adipose tissue, describing its structure and components, its main tissue receptors, and how it is affected in obesity, and subsequently the importance of an appropriate ECM remodeling in adipose tissue expansion to prevent metabolic diseases.

Abstract Background: It has been demonstrated that for oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) as tumor thickness increases, there are lower rates of survival. Several molecular factors have been studied to determine this invasive behavior, including microRNAs, that play a role in the tumor microenvironment. Methods: The aim of this study is evaluate the role of extracellular matrix remodeling, as well as the involvement of microRNAs, in the process of oral cavity SCC carcinogenesis. This was a retrospective study with patients operated on for SCC of the oral cavity, in addition to a group of oral mucosa samples from paired patients. RNA extraction was performed, followed by complementary DNA amplification of microRNAs related to adhesion, migration, cell proliferation, apoptosis, and constituents of the extracellular matrix. We also performed immunohistochemical reactions for markers involved in the same biological processes. Results: High expression of miR-21-5p and miR-106-5p and low expression of miR-320a and miR-222-3p were predictors of malignancies and mir21-5p, individually, showed the best differentiation between the groups (AUC = 0.972). Regarding the immunohistochemical markers, there was greater expression of p53, EGFR, metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), laminin beta, Ki-67 and CD34 in the tumor cells than in the healthy mucosa. Furthermore, increased expression of MMP-2, metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), laminin alpha and laminin beta in tumor-related fibroblasts and lower continuity of type IV collagen in the basement membrane were observed. Conclusions: These results demonstrate the biological effects of microRNAs on the carcinogenesis of SCC of the oral cavity as well as the intense modification of the tumor microenvironment.
