Tumor Associated Carbohydrate Antigens in Targeted Therapy
Tumor associated carbohydrate antigens (TACAs) are a class of glycans with important structural and signaling functions playing a major role in cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis relevant to oncology. Tumor cells expressing TACAs influence prognosis and survival of cancer patients. Careful consideration must be given to structural aspects during rational design of small molecule...
متن کاملPigment epithelium-derived factor: clinical significance in estrogen-dependent tissues and its potential in cancer therapy
Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) is a glycoprotein that belongs to the family of non-inhibitory serpins. The broad spectrum of PEDF biological activity is evident when considering its effects in promoting cell survival and proliferation, as well as its antiangiogenic, antitumor, and anti-metastatic properties. Although the structural domains of the PEDF gene that mediate such diverse ef...
متن کاملTumor-associated antigens in breast cancer.
The targets for the immune system are antigens present on cancer cells; however, many are not cancer-specific and may also be found on normal tissues. These antigens are often products of mutated cellular genes, aberrantly expressed normal genes, or genes encoding viral proteins. Vaccines constitute an active and specific immunotherapy designed to stimulate the intrinsic antitumor immune respon...
متن کاملDesign and in Silico Construction of New Efficient Antibodies Against Gastric Tumor-associated Antigens Towards Introducing Combined Strategy for Vaccine Tumor Therapy
Introduction: Gastric cancer, as the second reason of cancer mortality around the world, is defined as one of the serious health problems and a wide range of current research is focused to overcome the challenges relevant to its successful therapy. Employing recent approaches in the field of vaccine tumor therapy and immunotherapic strategies such as utilization of monoclonal antibodies can pla...
متن کاملUniversal and stemness-related tumor antigens: potential use in cancer immunotherapy.
After a decade of cancer immunotherapy (both active and adoptive), based on the use of well-defined tumor-associated antigens (TAA), and despite the large amount of new information that has been collected both in preclinical and clinical settings, the clinical outcome of immunotherapy trials has been altogether disappointing (1, 2). Several reasons have been put forward to explain such phenomen...
