Secretion of BMP-2 by tumorassociated macrophages (TAM) promotes microcalcifcations in breast cancer
Breast microcalcifcations is a characteristic feature in diagnostic imaging and a prognostic factor of breast cancer. However, the underlying mechanisms of breast microcalcifcations formation are not fully understood. Previous studies have shown that upregulation of bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) is associated with the occurrence of microcalcifcations and tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) in the tumor microenvironment can secrete BMP-2.
