Cyclin B1 and other cyclins as tumor antigens in immunosurveillance and immunotherapy of cancer.

چکیده
Uncontrolled cell division is an indispensable event in tumor progression, and numerous molecules involved in this process have been the focus of intense investigation in tumor biology. Cyclins, molecules that orchestrate normal cell cycle progression, are abnormally overexpressed in various human cancers. We review evidence that the immune system recognizes some abnormally expressed cyclins as tumor antigens, such as cyclin B1, and we analyze the potential of cyclins D, E, and A to serve a similar function in cancer immunosurveillance.

Cancer immunotherapy (passive or active) involves treatments which promote the ability of the immune system to fight tumor cells. Several types of immunotherapeutic agents, such as monoclonal antibodies, immune checkpoint inhibitors, non-specific immunomodulatory agents, and cancer vaccines are currently under intensive investigation in preclinical and clinical trials. Cancer vaccines induce pe...

To the Editors: In their elegant study, Sorensen et al. showed the existence of a T-cell response to two cyclin B1–derived peptides in patients with advanced-stage breast cancer, confirming initial observations by Kao that cyclin B1 is an interesting target for immunotherapy (1, 2). However, the authors reported the absence of cyclin B1–specific T cells in 10 of 10 healthy donors and concluded ...

Previous studies have demonstrated that sera from patients with prostate cancer (PCa) contain autoantibodies that react with tumor-associated antigens (TAAs). Autoantibodies to cyclin B1 and fourteen other TAAs were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Western blotting in 464 sera from patients with PCa, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and other controls. Autoantibodies...
متن کاملDendritic Cells and Their Role in Cancer Immunotherapy
Dendritic cells (DCs) are antigen presenting cells with unique capability to take up and process antigens in the peripheral blood and tissues. They subsequently migrate to draining lymph nodes where they present these antigens and stimulate naive T lympho-cytes. During their life cycle, DCs go through two maturation stages and are referred to as immature and mature cells, respectively. While im...
