Tumor sialylation impedes T cell mediated anti-tumor responses while promoting tumor associated-regulatory T cells
The increased presence of sialylated glycans on the tumor surface has been linked to poor prognosis, yet the effects on tumor-specific T cell immunity are hardly studied. We here show that hypersialylation of B16 melanoma substantially influences tumor growth by preventing the formation of effector T cells and facilitating the presence of high regulatory T cell (Treg) frequencies. Knock-down of...
متن کاملRegulatory T Cells in Tumor-Associated Tertiary Lymphoid Structures Suppress Anti-tumor T Cell Responses.
Infiltration of regulatory T (Treg) cells into many tumor types correlates with poor patient prognoses. However, mechanisms of intratumoral Treg cell function remain to be elucidated. We investigated Treg cell function in a genetically engineered mouse model of lung adenocarcinoma and found that Treg cells suppressed anti-tumor responses in tumor-associated tertiary lymphoid structures (TA-TLSs...
متن کاملA rare ovarian tumor, leydig stromal cell tumor, presenting with virilization: a case report
Leydig stromal cell tumor is a rare ovarian tumor that belongs to the group of sex-cord stromal tumors. They produce testosterone leading to hyperandrogenism. We present a 41yr old woman with symptoms of virilization and a mass of right adenex via ultra Sonography, and a rise of total and free serum testosterone. An ovarian source of androgen was suspected and a surgery performed. A diagnosis ...
متن کاملAnti-tumor Immune Responses Induced by Radiotherapy: a Review.
An anti-tumor immune response is one of the most important factors that can determine treatment response and prognosis of cancer patients. Recent studies have demonstrated that radiotherapy can activate tumor-specific immune responses and that these responses contribute to the therapeutic efficacy. However, the exact mechanisms underlying the radiation-induced immune responses remain unclear. B...
متن کاملVisualizing anti-tumor immune responses in vivo.
Real-time imaging of stromal and immune cells in tumors is an emerging field that will greatly help us to understand the role of these non-malignant tumor components in tumor progression and therapy.
