Research projects and results <\/strong><\/p>\n

Results gathered in the last decade clearly proved that tumor stroma actively participates in the proliferation and invasion of cancer. These results profoundly changed our understanding about the principles of cancer. This implies that for successful treatment of tumors not only cancer cells but also stromal components have to be targeted. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Extracellular matrix and particularly liver proteoglycans are in the focus in our research for 25 years. Changes of syndecan1, agrin, and decorin expression in experimental and human liver cirrhosis and cancer have been studied. This was followed by in vitro analyses of proteoglycan transfected hepatomas, and transgenic mouse models, Our results demonstrated the protective role of decorin against liver cirrhosis and cancer, the diagnostic potential of agrin in human liver cancer, and the potential role of heparan sulfate and syndecan1 in the regulation of nuclear functions. Recently we started to study the events of hepatoma and\u00a0 tumor associated fibroblasts interactions, including the role of proteoglycans. We hope that the better understanding of the tumor-microenvironment interactions provide new approaches for the better management of cancer.<\/p>\n
