Tumor suppressor maspin as a modulator of host immune response to cancer.
Despite the promising clinical outcome, the primary challenge of the curative cancer immunotherapy is to overcome the dichotomy of the immune response: tumor-evoked immunostimulatory versus tumor-induced immunosuppressive. The goal needs to be two-fold, to re-establish sustainable antitumor-cancer immunity and to eliminate immunosuppression. The successful elimination of cancer cells by immunos...
متن کاملImmunomodulatory Function of the Tumor Suppressor p53 in Host Immune Response and the Tumor Microenvironment
The tumor suppressor p53 is the most frequently mutated gene in human cancers. Most of the mutations are missense leading to loss of p53 function in inducing apoptosis and senescence. In addition to these autonomous effects of p53 inactivation/dysfunction on tumorigenesis, compelling evidence suggests that p53 mutation/inactivation also leads to gain-of-function or activation of non-autonomous ...
متن کاملThe tumor suppressor maspin mediates E2F1-induced sensitivity of cancer cells to chemotherapy.
The E2F1 transcription factor is a critical downstream target of the tumor suppressor RB. When activated, E2F1 can induce cell proliferation and/or apoptosis. In addition, E2F1 overexpression sensitizes cancer cells to chemotherapeutic drugs. In a screen for genes that are regulated synergistically by E2F1 and chemotherapy in cancer cells, we identified the proapoptotic tumor suppressor gene ma...
متن کاملMaspin expression in prostate tumor elicits host anti-tumor immunity
The goal of the current study is to examine the biological effects of epithelial-specific tumor suppressor maspin on tumor host immune response. Accumulated evidence demonstrates an anti-tumor effect of maspin on tumor growth, invasion and metastasis. The molecular mechanism underlying these biological functions of maspin is thought to be through histone deacetylase inhibition, key to the maint...
متن کاملBacterial genotoxin functions as immune-modulator and promotes host survival
Bacterial genotoxins are effectors that cause DNA damage in target cells. Many aspects of the biology of these toxins have been characterised in vitro, such as structure, cellular internalisation pathways and effects on the target cells. However, little is known about their function in vivo. Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S. Typhi) is a Gram-negative, intracellular bacterium that causes typ...
