By analyzing a public database, we found that BMP receptor 2 (BMPR2) and BMP1 genes had mononucleotide repeats in their coding sequences that could be mutation targets in cancers with microsatellite instability (MSI).
Furthermore, an <i>in situ</i> examination of lung tissue showed that stromal fibroblasts expressed cancer-associated proteins from two procancer secretomes: one that included IL-6 (in cases of mild or no airflow obstruction), and one that included BMP1 (in cases of severe airflow obstruction).<b>Conclusions:</b> Two distinct stromal gene expression programs that promote cancer initiation are activated in patients with lung cancer depending on lung function.
The transmembrane glycoprotein, CUB (complement C1r/C1s, Uegf, Bmp1) domain-containing protein 1 (CDCP1) is overexpressed in several cancer types and is a predictor of poor prognosis for patients on standard of care therapies.
Under acidic environment inside cancer cells, PCP NPs degraded, DOX was released from PCP-DOX-CM, and the fluorescence of DOX was activated, which was very specific for cancers with a high signal-to-noise ratio.
