Disease: Malignant Neoplasms
Malignant Neoplasms
0.100 Biomarker group BEFREE To elucidate potential mechanism of action, we used the most effective conjugates 6, 7, 9 and 12 and found that they decreased expression and secretion of the angiogenic growth factor pleiotrophin by the cancer cells themselves, and inhibited angiogenesis in vivo and endothelial cell growth in vitro. 28549888 2017
CUI: C0006826
Disease: Malignant Neoplasms
Malignant Neoplasms
0.100 Biomarker group BEFREE Herein, we report that TAMs secrete abundant pleiotrophin (PTN) to stimulate glioma stem cells (GSCs) through its receptor PTPRZ1 thus promoting GBM malignant growth through PTN-PTPRZ1 paracrine signalling. 28569747 2017
CUI: C0006826
Disease: Malignant Neoplasms
Malignant Neoplasms
0.100 AlteredExpression group BEFREE The expression of PTN in the adult is limited to the hippocampus in an activity-dependent manner, making it a very attractive target for cancer therapy. 28562667 2017
CUI: C0006826
Disease: Malignant Neoplasms
Malignant Neoplasms
0.100 AlteredExpression group BEFREE Both MDK and PTN are readily measurable in washout of needle biopsy samples from breast and lung masses and levels are highly elevated only in a specific subset of these malignancies. 28946562 2017

Disease: Malignant Neoplasms
Malignant Neoplasms
0.100 Biomarker group BEFREE Pleiotrophin (PTN), an angiogenic factor, is associated with various types of cancer, including lung cancer. 25743809 2015
CUI: C0006826
Disease: Malignant Neoplasms
Malignant Neoplasms
0.100 Biomarker group BEFREE While PTN has been reported to be expressed in many types of tumors as well as at high serum concentrations in patients with many types of cancer, to date, there has been no report that PTN is expressed in leukemia, especially in lymphocytic leukemia. 24698102 2014
CUI: C0006826
Disease: Malignant Neoplasms
Malignant Neoplasms
0.100 AlteredExpression group BEFREE Expression of pleiotrophin in the prostate is androgen regulated and it functions as an autocrine regulator of mesenchyme and cancer associated fibroblasts and as a paracrine regulator of epithelia. 20812209 2011
CUI: C0006826
Disease: Malignant Neoplasms
Malignant Neoplasms
0.100 Biomarker group BEFREE In addition to those cancers for which a causative role for aberrant ALK activity is well validated, more circumstantial links implicate the full-length, normal ALK receptor in the genesis of other malignancies - including glioblastoma and breast cancer - via a mechanism of receptor activation involving autocrine and/or paracrine growth loops with the reported ALK ligands, pleiotrophin and midkine. 19275511 2009
CUI: C0006826
Disease: Malignant Neoplasms
Malignant Neoplasms
0.100 Biomarker group BEFREE Pleiotrophin (PTN) is an angiogenic factor that is produced by many different human cancers and stimulates tumor blood vessel formation when it is expressed in malignant cancer cells. 19060246 2009
CUI: C0006826
Disease: Malignant Neoplasms
Malignant Neoplasms
0.100 AlteredExpression group BEFREE While the cause-effect relationship between ALK fusions and malignancies such as ALCL and IMT is very well established, more circumstantial links implicate the involvement of the full-length, normal ALK receptor in the genesis of additional malignancies including glioblastoma, neuroblastoma, breast cancer, and others; in these instances, ALK is believed to foster tumorigenesis following activation by autocrine and/or paracrine growth loops involving the reported ALK ligands, pleiotrophin (PTN) and midkine (MK). 17694547 2008
