| Abstract | Interactions between neoplastic and stromal cells contribute to tumor progression. Wnt genes, involved in cell migration and often deregulated in cancers, are attractive candidates to regulate these effects. We have recently shown that coculture of breast cancer cells with macrophages enhances invasiveness via matrix metalloproteases and TNF-α. Here we demonstrate that coculture of MCF-7 cells and macrophages leads to up-regulation of Wnt 5a in the latter. This was accompanied by activation of AP-1/c-Jun in MCF-7. Recombinant Wnt 5a mimicked the coculture effect. Wnt 5a was also detectable in tumor-associated macrophages in primary breast cancers. Experiments with agonists and antagonists of Wnt signaling revealed that a functional canonical pathway in the tumor cells was a necessary prerequisite; however, noncanonical signaling via Wnt 5a and the Jun-N-terminal kinase pathway was critical for invasiveness. It was also responsible for induction of matrix metalloprotease-7, known to release TNF-α. All these effects could be antagonized by dickkopf-1. Our results indicate that Wnt 5a is essential for macrophage-induced invasiveness, because it regulates tumor cell migration as well as proteolytic activity of the macrophages. The function of Wnt 5a as either a suppressor or promoter of malignant progression seems to be modulated by intercellular interactions. Wnt 5a detection in tumor-associated macrophages in breast cancer biopsies supports the assumption that similar events play a role in vivo. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
