Augmented IL-15Rα expression by CD40 activation is critical in synergistic CD8 T cell-mediated antitumor activity of anti-CD40 antibody with IL-15 in TRAMP-C2 tumors in mice.
IL-15 has potential as an immunotherapeutic agent for cancer treatment because it is a critical factor for the proliferation and activation of NK and CD8(+) T cells. However, monotherapy of patients with malignancy with IL-15 that has been initiated may not be optimal, because of the limited expression of the private receptor, IL-15Rα. We demonstrated greater CD8 T cell-mediated therapeutic eff...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Immunomodulatory Effect of Curdlan on Maturation and Function of Mouse Spleen-Derived Dendritic Cells
Background: T helper 1 and T helper 17 cells play important roles in immunity against foreign invaders. Differentiation of these Th subsets is affected by state of maturation and cytokines that are produced by dendritic cells (DCs). Curdlan is a linear (1→3)-β- glucan and has shown activity against tumors and infectious agents. Objective: This study aims to investigate whether curdlan plays its...
متن کاملInterleukin-15 combined with an anti-CD40 antibody provides enhanced therapeutic efficacy for murine models of colon cancer.
IL-15 has potential as an immunotherapeutic agent for cancer treatment because it is a critical factor for the proliferation and activation of natural killer (NK) and CD8(+) T cells. Administration of anti-CD40 antibodies has shown anti-tumor effects in vivo through a variety of mechanisms. Furthermore, activation of CD40 led to increased expression of IL-15 receptor-alpha by dendritic cells, a...
متن کاملSuccessful immunotherapy with IL-2/anti-CD40 induces the chemokine-mediated mitigation of an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment.
Treatment of mice bearing orthotopic, metastatic tumors with anti-CD40 antibody resulted in only partial, transient anti-tumor effects whereas combined treatment with IL-2/anti-CD40, induced tumor regression. The mechanisms for these divergent anti-tumor responses were examined by profiling tumor-infiltrating leukocyte subsets and chemokine expression within the tumor microenvironment after imm...
متن کاملBone marrow dendritic cells deficient for CD40 and IL-23p19 are tolerogenic in vitro
Objective(s): In addition to pro-inflammatory role, dendritic cells (DCs) can also be anti-inflammatory when they acquire tolerogenic phenotype. In this study we tested the role of CD40 and IL-23p19 in antigen presenting function of bone marrow-derived DCs (BMDCs) by comparing BMDCs derived from CD40 knockout (CD40KO-DCs) and IL-23p19 (IL-23p19KO-DCs) knockout mice wit...
