abstract：:Pancreatic cancer is characterized by expanded stroma with marked fibrosis. In Ijichi et al., we show that inhibiting CXCR2 disrupts tumor-stromal interactions and improves survival of a genetically-engineered mouse model recapitulating human pancreatic cancer. Targeting CXCLs/CXCR2 axis in the tumor microenvironment ...

abstract：:Tumors arise and progress in immunocompetent hosts presumably by activating tolerance mechanisms critical for normal homeostasis. Host immune cells can mount anti-tumor responses by activation of Toll-like receptors (TLRs). However, emerging data suggests that molecules that negatively regulate TLRs are exploited by t...

abstract：:Egfl7 is an endothelial-specific gene which expression is deregulated in human cancers. We showed that Egfl7 promotes tumor escape from immunity by downregulating the expression of leukocyte adhesion molecules in endothelial cells, thus repressing immune cell extravasation into tumors. ...

abstract：:DNA damage responses have been proposed as a gatekeeper to block tumorigenesis. We identify unexpected mechanisms whereby ATM-mediated pathway interacts with NFκB inflammatory cascades, leading to upregulation of integrin-αbβ3 on chemoresistant tumor cells. The integrin-αbβ3 is responsible for impeding tumor-specific ...

abstract：:Innate immunity serves as a first line of defense against infectious agents, and germ-line-encoded pattern recognition receptors detect stressed and infected cells and elicit potent effector activities that accomplish efficient microbe containment. Recent evidence demonstrates that these pattern-sensing systems are al...

abstract：:To antagonize tumor-derived TGFβ contemporaneously to anticancer immunotherapy, we genetically engineered a fusion protein coupling IL-2 and the ectodomain of TGFβ receptor II (Fusion of Interleukin-2 and Soluble TGFβ receptor - a.k.a. FIST). FIST possesses intriguing gain-of-function properties and induces potent act...

abstract：:Macrophage infiltration is a hallmark in the majority of solid tumors. Our studies demonstrated that macrophages that infiltrate human renal cells carcinoma (RCC) display markedly enhanced expression and activity of 15-lipoxygenase-2 (15-LOX2). Obtained data suggest that enhanced lipoxygenase activity in tumor-associa...

abstract：:PD-1 engagement on the surface of effector T cells strongly suppresses their cytotoxic function, which constitutes a major obstacle for T cell-mediated anti-tumor activities. Surprisingly, PD-1 is strongly upregulated in T cells, engaging its ligand PD-L1 during antigen presentation. However, our recent published data...

NK cells participate in the graft-vs.-leukemia effect to control the relapse in leukemic patients transplanted with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cells. In various tumors, correlation between NK cell infiltrates and progn...

abstract：:Th2-type inflammation has been proposed to facilitate tumor growth. In De Monte et al. (J Exp Med 208:469-478, 2011) we identify in pancreatic cancer a complex cytokine/chemokine cross-talk within the tumor microenvironment mediating Th2 immune-deviation and show that the ratio of Th2/Th1 tumor infiltrating lymphocyte...

abstract：:Interleukin-12 immune stimulation lacks efficacy in established solid tumor models. Disruption of tumor microenvironment homeostasis by low-dose cyclophosphamide prior to interleukin-12 gene therapy led to CD8+ T cell-driven established tumor rejection. This only takes place when inflammatory myeloid cells infiltrate ...
