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 کاملThe role of dose fractionation in the level of Radiation- Induced Bystander Effect in QU-DB Cells
Introduction: Radiation effects induced in non-irradiated cells are termed radiation- induced bystander effects (RIBE). The present study intends to examine the RIBE response of QU-DB bystander cells to first, second and third radiation fractions and compare their cumulative outcome with an equal, single acute dose. Materials and Methods: This experimental ...
متن کاملPotent antitumor immunity generated by a CD40-targeted adenoviral vaccine.
In situ delivery of tumor-associated antigen (TAA) genes into dendritic cells (DC) has great potential as a generally applicable tumor vaccination approach. Although adenoviruses (Ad) are an attractive vaccine vehicle in this regard, Ad-mediated transduction of DCs is hampered by the lack of expression of the Ad receptor CAR on the DC surface. DC activation also requires interaction of CD40 wit...
متن کاملRadiation-induced apoptosis: effects of cell age and dose fractionation.
The cell cycle dependence of radiation-induced apoptosis was measured using mitotically synchronized REC:myc(ch1) and Rat1:mycb cells. Cells in S and G2 phases were more susceptible; the apoptotic fraction was about 0.7-0.8 as compared to about 0.4 for G1 cells at a dose of 10 Gy. Two-dimensional cytofluorimetric analysis of cells, pulsed-labeled with bromodeoxyuridine and then irradiated with ...
متن کاملPhotodynamic therapy enhancement of antitumor immunity is regulated by neutrophils.
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a Food and Drug Administration-approved local cancer treatment that can be curative of early disease and palliative in advanced disease. PDT of murine tumors results in regimen-dependent induction of an acute local inflammatory reaction, characterized in part by rapid neutrophil infiltration into the treated tumor bed. In this study, we show that a PDT regimen that...
