Blocking IDO activity to enhance anti-tumor immunity.
Tumors express potentially immunogenic antigens, yet the immune response to these antigens is typically profoundly suppressed. Patients with established tumors behave as if they were functionally tolerant to any antigens associated with the tumor. This tolerance reflects a process of active immune suppression elicited by the tumor, and represents a critical barrier to successful anti-tumor immu...
متن کاملNanovectorized radiotherapy: a new strategy to induce anti-tumor immunity
Recent experimental findings show that activation of the host immune system is required for the success of chemo- and radiotherapy. However, clinically apparent tumors have already developed multiple mechanisms to escape anti-tumor immunity. The fact that tumors are able to induce a state of tolerance and immunosuppression is a major obstacle in immunotherapy. Hence, there is an overwhelming ne...
متن کاملDISC1 mouse models as a tool to decipher gene-environment interactions in psychiatric disorders
DISC1 was discovered in a Scottish pedigree in which a chromosomal translocation that breaks this gene segregates with psychiatric disorders, mainly depression and schizophrenia. Linkage and association studies in diverse populations support DISC1 as a susceptibility gene to a variety of neuropsychiatric disorders. Many Disc1 mouse models have been generated to study its neuronal functions. The...
متن کاملRUNX3 methylation and anti-tumor immunity.
Altered DNA methylation is a hallmark of cancer genomes and has been advocated as both a marker and mechanism of the malignant phenotype. In the conventional view, such alterations include global DNA hypomethylation, linked to aberrant expression of oncogenic driver genes and more localised de novo hypermethylation at ‘CpG-island’ promoters, argued to cause inappropriate silencing of tumor supp...
متن کاملEngineering Anti-Tumor T Cell Immunity
T cell immunity is critical for protection against infectious agents as well as cancer. T cell immune response is a well orchestrated process that involves three key components. CD8+ T cells that harbor cytolytic machinery and can target and kill the tumor cells in an antigen specific manner, CD4+ T cells that can either “help” the generation of a productive CD8+ T cell or “regulate/suppress” i...
