Harnessing Apoptotic Cell Clearance to Treat Autoimmune Arthritis
Early-stage apoptotic cells possess immunomodulatory properties. Proper apoptotic cell clearance during homeostasis has been shown to limit subsequent immune responses. Based on these observations, early-stage apoptotic cell infusion has been used to prevent unwanted inflammatory responses in different experimental models of autoimmune diseases or transplantation. Moreover, this approach has be...
متن کاملDual purpose: some cancer therapies used to treat autoimmune diseases.
In July 1917, when German forces first used mustard gas (sulfur mustard) as a chemical warfare agent against British troops in Ypres, Belgium, no one would have predicted that any good would come of it. The first hint came in 1919, when E.B. and H.D. Krumbhaar reported that victims of mustard gas poisoning had low white blood cell counts and atrophy of the bone marrow and lymphatic tissues. The...
متن کاملHarnessing the immune system to treat cancer.
A major challenge for the immune system is to recognize and eliminate cells undergoing carcinogenesis. Immune defense against tumors is complex. It can be mediated early by the innate immune system (i.e., phagocytes, NK cells, NKT cells, cytokines, and complement proteins) and later by the adaptive immune system (i.e., B cells and T cells). The eight articles in this Review series on tumor immu...
متن کاملSpecific antigen vaccination to treat autoimmune disease.
Specific antigen vaccination by administration of the target antigen in aqueous solution has resulted in significant decreases of disease severity in animal models of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis, type I diabetes, and several forms of antigen-induced arthritis, even if administered after the initiation of symptoms. However, in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) and type ...
متن کاملCommentary Inducing autoimmune disease to treat cancer
For many years, visions for development of successful immunotherapy of cancer revolved around the induction of immune responses against tumor-specific ‘‘neoantigens.’’ However, as demonstrated in a recent paper in the Proceedings by Overwijk et al. (1), the generation of tissue-specific autoimmune responses represents an approach to cancer immunotherapy that is gaining momentum. Thus, a new pri...
