Attacking malignant cells that survive therapy
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have recently defined "immunogenic modulation," a mechanism whereby malignant cells that survive anticancer therapy, due to sublethal delivery or development of treatment resistance, become nonetheless more sensitive to killing by cytotoxic T lymphocytes. This mechanism can be exploited to identify which therapies will best synergize with immunotherapy, potentially maximizing patient clinical benefit.

Canine Mammary Gland Cancer Stem Cell and its Potential Role in Malignant Biologic Behavior
BACKGROUND:Canine mammary gland cancers are the most prevalent malignancies in dogs. There are different challenges regarding management of these cancers in dogs and human, one hypothesis is related to small cellular subset of tumor mass called cancer stem cell. These cells are therapy resistant and cause metastasis and relapse even after primary successful treatment. The well-identified phenot...
متن کاملModified stem cells create tumor-attacking T cells.
Approaches that involve manipulating T cells outside the body and then replacing them have shown promise. However, researchers worry that such cells could provoke autoimmunity because they don’t pass through negative selection, the weeding-out of self-targeted T cells in the thymus. Other concerns are that the re-introduced T cells won’t survive very long and that they won’t generate the memory...
متن کاملB cell Therapy to Treat an Axonal Neuropathy in Mixed Connective Tissue Disease
The B cell is a vital contributor to humoral immunity. The B cell-specific antigen CD20 is expressed during B cell development, starting at the pre-B cell level and persists through B cell differentiation, but is lost during terminal differentiation to plasma cells. Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody that destroys both normal and malignant B cells that have CD20 on their surfaces and is ther...
متن کاملInduction of Apoptosis in the Rat Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells Following Sodium Arsenite Treatment with the Dose Lesser than that Used for Treatment of Malignant Patient
Objective(s) Arsenic compounds are potent human carcinogen and produce a variety of stress responses in mammalian cells. Recently sodium arsenite has been recommended to be used as anti malignancy drug by American food and drug administration (FDA). In this study, we aimed to determine the apoptosis inducing effect of sodium arsenite on rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells exposed in vitro. ...

Introduction: Neurotrophins, as a family of proteins, are responsible for induction of the survival, development, and function of neurons. Also, neurotropic factors are growth factors like Neurotrophins that help neurons survive. Moreover, Neurotrophins differentiate between progenitor cells so that neurons are formed. Despite the fact that the majority of mammalian brain neurons are produced p...
