https://www.selleckchem.com/products/tpca-1.html Adding stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) to standard treatment slowed 6-month disease progression in men with hormone-sensitive metastatic prostate cancer, allowing them to delay androgen deprivation therapy, according to findings from the phase II ORIOLE trial. Larger studies are needed to determine if SABR, alone or combined with immunotherapies, can prevent new metastases in some patients. ©2020 American Association for Cancer Research.Platelet-derived growth factor receptor-beta (PDGFRβ) is a receptor tyrosine kinase found in cells of mesenchymal origin such as fibroblasts and pericytes. Activation of this receptor is dependent on paracrine ligand induction, and its preferred ligand PDGFB is released by neighboring epithelial and endothelial cells. While expression of both PDGFRβ and PDGFB has been noted in patient breast tumors for decades, how PDGFB-to-PDGFRβ tumor-stromal signaling mediates breast cancer (BC) initiation, progression, and metastasis remains unclear. Here we demonstrate this paracrine signaling pathway mediates both primary tumor growth and metastasis; specifically, metastasis to the brain. Elevated levels of PDGFB accelerated orthotopic tumor growth and intracranial growth of mammary tumor cells while mesenchymal-specific expression of an activating mutant PDGFRβ (PDGFRβD849V) exerted pro-proliferative signals on adjacent mammary tumor cells. Stromal expression of PDGFRβD849V also promoted brain metastases of mammary tumor cells expressing high PDGFB when injected intravenously. In the brain, expression of PDGFRβD849V was observed within a subset of astrocytes, and aged mice expressing PDGFRβD849V exhibited reactive gliosis. Importantly, the PDGFR-specific inhibitor crenolanib significantly reduced intracranial growth of mammary tumor cells. In a tissue microarray comprised of 363 primary human breast tumors, high PDGFB protein expression was prognostic for brain metastases, but not meta
