Genetically Modified T-Cell-Based Adoptive Immunotherapy in Hematological Malignancies
A significant proportion of hematological malignancies remain limited in treatment options. Immune system modulation serves as a promising therapeutic approach to eliminate malignant cells. Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) play a central role in antitumor immunity; unfortunately, nonspecific approaches for targeted recognition of tumor cells by CTLs to mediate tumor immune evasion in hematologica...
متن کاملMonitoring NK cell activity in patients with hematological malignancies
Natural killer (NK) cells are lymphocytes of the innate immune system that can recognize and kill various types of malignant cells. Monitoring the activity of peripheral NK cells in patients affected by hematological malignancies may provide prognostic information or unveil ongoing tumor-specific immune responses. Moreover, further insights into the biology of NK cells might also promote the de...
متن کاملNK Cells, Tumor Cell Transition, and Tumor Progression in Solid Malignancies: New Hints for NK-Based Immunotherapy?
Several evidences suggest that NK cells can patrol the body and eliminate tumors in their initial phases but may hardly control established solid tumors. Multiple factors, including the transition of tumor cells towards a proinvasive/prometastatic phenotype, the immunosuppressive effect of the tumor microenvironment, and the tumor structure complexity, may account for limited NK cell efficacy. ...
متن کاملCellular immunotherapy as a beacon of hope for hematological malignancies
Recently, successful cancer immunotherapy has aroused great interest in application of this approach in hematological malignancies. Immune responsiveness is a key clinical feature of hematological malignancies. Indeed, the efficacy of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) largely derives from graft-versus-tumor effects that highlight the ability of the immune system to speci...
متن کاملEditorial: NK Cell-Based Cancer Immunotherapy
Specialty section: This article was submitted to NK Cell Biology, a section of the journal Frontiers in Immunology NK cell-based cancer immunotherapy Innate and adaptive immunity cooperate to eliminate tumors. However, when infrequent cancer cell variants are not destroyed, tumor growth and immunosurveillance enter into a dynamic equilibrium until cancer cells evade the immune system, at which ...
