Targeting the tumor microenvironment for cancer therapy.
BACKGROUND With the emergence of the tumor microenvironment as an essential ingredient of cancer malignancy, therapies targeting the host compartment of tumors have begun to be designed and applied in the clinic. CONTENT The malignant features of cancer cells cannot be manifested without an important interplay between cancer cells and their local environment. The tumor infiltrate composed of ...
متن کاملReg3β contributes to the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment in pancreatic cancer
Reg3β is up-regulated in serum and pancreatic juice from patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. However, whether such expression is relevant to the development of tumors has not yet been carefully examined. We have recently demonstrated that silencing Reg3β in a pancreatic cancer model impaired tumor growth by skewing macrophage polarization. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) con...
متن کاملTargeting T Cell Immunometabolism for Cancer Immunotherapy; Understanding the Impact of the Tumor Microenvironment
The immune system has a key role to play in controlling cancer initiation and progression. T cell activation, which is central to anti-tumor immune responses, coincides with changes in cellular metabolism. Naïve T cells predominantly require an ATP generating metabolic profile, whereas proliferating effector T cells require anabolic metabolic profiles that promote rapid growth and proliferation...
متن کاملTargeting the tumor microenvironment.
Despite some notable successes cancer remains, for the most part, a seemingly intractable problem. There is, however, a growing appreciation that targeting the tumor epithelium in isolation is not sufficient as there is an intricate mutually sustaining synergy between the tumor epithelial cells and their surrounding stroma. As the details of this dialogue emerge, new therapeutic targets have be...
متن کاملTargeting the tumor microenvironment
Persistent JAK-STAT3 signaling is implicated in many aspects of tumorigenesis. Apart from its tumor-intrinsic effects, STAT3 also exerts tumor-extrinsic effects, supporting tumor survival and metastasis. These involve the regulation of paracrine cytokine signaling, alterations in metastatic sites rendering these permissive for the growth of cancer cells and subversion of host immune responses t...
