Inflammation, immune suppression, and tumor progression
The tumor microenvironment is a complex milieu of tumor and host cells. Host cells can include tumor-reactive T cells capable of killing tumor cells. However, more frequently tumor and host components interact to generate a highly immune suppressive environment that frustrates T cell cytotoxicity and promotes tumor progression through a variety of immune and non-immune mechanisms. Myeloid-deriv...
متن کاملChronic inflammation that facilitates tumor progression creates local immune suppression by inducing indoleamine 2,3 dioxygenase.
Topical application of phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) elicits intense local inflammation that facilitates outgrowth of premalignant lesions in skin after carcinogen exposure. The inflammatory response to PMA treatment activates immune stimulatory mechanisms. However, we show here that PMA exposure also induces plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) in local draining lymph nodes (dLNs) to express ...

متن کاملModelling Tumor Progression, Heterogeneity, and Immune Competition
This paper deals with the modeling of the immune response to the evolution of the progression of endothelial cells which have lost the differentiation and start their evolution towards metastatic states. The modeling is developed in the framework of the so-called kinetic cellular theory. The model is critically analyzed on the basis of analytic solutions, asymptotic behaviors and numerical simu...
متن کاملCrosstalk between Tumor Cells and Immune System Leads to Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition Induction and Breast Cancer Progression
Herein, we review the current findings of how a variety of accessory cells could participate in shaping the tumor microenvironment and supporting the mechanisms by which cancer cells undertake the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). EMT, a complex of phenotypic changes, promotes cancer cell invasion and creates resistance to chemotherapies. Among the accessory cells present in the EMT, imm...
