Glioblastoma is one of the most fatal cancers, characterized by a strong vascularized
phenotype. YKL-40, a secreted glycoprotein, is overexpressed in patients with glioblastomas …

Chitinase-like proteins (CLPs) are lectins combining properties of cytokines and growth
factors. Human CLPs include YKL-40, YKL-39 and SI-CLP that are secreted by cancer cells …

YKL-40, a 40-kDa secreted glycoprotein, with its gene located on chromosome 1q32. 1, is
produced by cancer cells and inflammatory cells and has a role in inflammation, cell …

Aims Macrophages in atherosclerotic plaques secrete YKL-40. We tested the hypothesis if
high serum YKL-40 concentration predicts coronary events and death of patients with stable …

A secreted glycoprotein YKL-40 also named chitinase-3-like-1 is normally expressed by
multiple cell types such as macrophages, chondrocytes, and vascular smooth muscle cells …

Elevated serum levels of a glycoprotein known as chitinase-3-like protein 1 (CHI3L1) have
been correlated with poor prognosis and shorter survival of patients with cancer and …

The tumour suppressor p53, involved in DNA repair, cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, also
inhibits blood vessel formation, that is, angiogenesis, a process strongly contributing to …

Considering cancer not only as malignant cells on their own but as a complex disease in
which tumor cells interact and communicate with their microenvironment has motivated the …
