Modulation of Antitumor Immunity by the Mek inhibitor Trametinib: Implications for Targeted Therapy of Cancer
Through rational drug design, much progress has been made to develop small molecules that specifically inhibit the oncogenic signaling pathways driving malignant growth. However, the normal function of immune cells depends upon many of the same pathways inhibited by such targeted cancer therapies. Because the immune system can influence the growth of many cancers, I hypothesized that most small...
متن کاملTGFβ Is a Master Regulator of Radiation Therapy-Induced Antitumor Immunity.
T cells directed to endogenous tumor antigens are powerful mediators of tumor regression. Recent immunotherapy advances have identified effective interventions to unleash tumor-specific T-cell activity in patients who naturally develop them. Eliciting T-cell responses to a patient's individual tumor remains a major challenge. Radiation therapy can induce immune responses to model antigens expre...

متن کاملThe indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase pathway controls complement-dependent enhancement of chemo-radiation therapy against murine glioblastoma
BACKGROUND Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) is an enzyme with immune-suppressive properties that is commonly exploited by tumors to evade immune destruction. Anti-tumor T cell responses can be initiated in solid tumors, but are immediately suppressed by compensatory upregulation of immunological checkpoints, including IDO. In addition to these known effects on the adaptive immune system, we pr...
متن کاملRadiation Immune Modulation Therapy of Glioma
Since Roentgens discovery of the X-rays 1895, radiation therapy (RT) has been one of the most successful modalities used to treat cancer (Rontgen 1995). The experimental radiation treatment of glioma, however, took place first in 1938 (Bailey & Brunschwig 1938). Since then advances in radiation technology have expanded the role and value of using ionizing radiation in diagnosis, imaging and the...
