- Tissue factor pathway inhibitor 2 (TFPI2), a serine protease inhibitor, plays a multifaceted role in tumor metastasis. Traditionally viewed as a metastasis suppressor, it inhibits extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and angiogenesis. However, emerging evidence indicates that TFPI2 promotes tumor progression in glioblastoma, melanoma, and other cancers by fostering an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, mediating pathological ECM remodeling, and enhancing angiogenesis and hematogenous dissemination. Notably, even within the same metastatic cascade, TFPI2 exhibits divergent expression patterns and context-dependent opposing functions, acting either as a metastasis suppressor or promoter. This review summarizes its context-dependent regulatory mechanisms, investigates the underlying basis from structural duality, microenvironmental heterogeneity, and receptor differences, and evaluates its potential as a therapeutic target. Future research should elucidate spatiotemporal microenvironmental dynamics to support early screening and precise intervention. - Source: PubMed

Wang JiajunDu LingzhiWang YingWang HangZhu YanjunXu Xianglai - Glioma stem cells (GSCs) are a small subset of self-renewing, plastic, and multipotent neoplastic cells in glioblastoma (GBM) that sit at the apex of a cellular differentiation hierarchy. Elucidating pathways that enhance GSC properties and determine their cell-specific interactions within the immunosuppressive GBM microenvironment are critical for developing effective therapeutic approaches. The CLOCK-BMAL1 complex, which is well known for its activity as a circadian rhythm-regulating transcription factor, plays a critical role in maintaining GSC stemness, and the gene encoding CLOCK was found to be amplified in about 5% of GBM cases. Here, Zhou et al. have uncovered a "symbiotic exclusivity" relationship between CLOCK-BMAL1 and TFPI2, which is also amplified in a small proportion of GBM cases. This relationship forms a HIF-1α/NF-κB P65-mediated positive feedback loop that boosts the proliferative and tumor-enhancing capacities of GSC and immunosuppressive microglia. This self-amplifying regulatory circuit represents an opportunity for intervention to inhibit GBM growth. - Source: PubMed

Basakis PetrosShih Ling-KaiLi JiaboBrat Daniel J - Breast cancer (BC) incidence continues to rise, and recurrence and metastasis remain major contributors to mortality. The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), associated with the acquisition of invasive functions by epithelial cells, also promotes resistance to anticancer therapies. Here, an EMT-based prognostic model was developed to enhance BC outcome prediction. - Source: PubMed
