A lovastatin-elicited genetic program inhibits M2 macrophage polarization and enhances T cell infiltration into spontaneous mouse mammary tumors
Beyond their ability to inhibit cholesterol biosynthesis, the statins have pleiotropic effects that include anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activities. Statins could have clinical utility, alone or in combination with other chemotherapeutics, in the treatment of cancer. The mechanisms that underlie the anti-tumor activity of the statins are nonetheless poorly defined. No studies have ana...
متن کاملVitamin D3 enhances the apoptotic response of epithelial tumors to aminolevulinate-based photodynamic therapy.
Photodynamic therapy, mediated by exogenously administered aminolevulinic acid (ALA-PDT), followed by exposure to a laser or broadband light source, is a promising modality for treatment of many types of cancers; however, it remains inadequate to treat large, deep, solid tumors. In this article, we report that calcitriol, the active form of vitamin D3, can be administered before ALA as a nontox...
متن کاملGlucan and Photodynamic Therapy of Implanted Tumors
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) combines a drug or photosensitizer with a specific type of light to kill cancer cells. The cellular damage induced by PDT leads to activation of the DNA damage repair, which is an important factor for modulating tumor sensitivity to this treatment. β -Glucans are natural polysaccharides that bind complement receptor 3 on the effector cells, thereby activating them to ...
متن کاملPhotodynamic Therapy for Malignant Brain Tumors
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) using talaporfin sodium together with a semiconductor laser was approved in Japan in October 2003 as a less invasive therapy for early-stage lung cancer. The author believes that the principle of PDT would be applicable for controlling the invading front of malignant brain tumors and verified its efficacy through experiments using glioma cell lines and glioma xenograf...
متن کاملMonocyte/macrophage infiltration in tumors: modulators of angiogenesis.
The role of a tumor immune infiltrate in cancer progression and metastasis has been debated frequently. Although often considered to be associated with improved prognosis and leading to the enhanced survival of cancer patients, inflammatory cells have also been described to assist the tumor's capabilities to progress, proliferate, and metastasize. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), for exampl...
