Breast cancer hijacks dendritic cells
On page 1037, Aspord et al. find that immune cells are swayed to the dark side by cancerous forces. Instead of priming a killing response, dendritic cells (DCs) that infiltrate breast tumors actually help the tumor grow. The group previously found that human breast tumors often include a large number of mature dendritic cells that form clusters with CD4+ T cells. This association suggested that...
متن کاملMelanoma hijacks plasmacytoid dendritic cells to promote its own progression
Despite their elevated immunogenicity, melanoma lesions often escape immunosurveillance. We have recently demonstrated that plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) accumulating within melanomas are prompted to express tumor necrosis factor (ligand) superfamily, member 4 (TNFSF4, best known as OX40L) and inducible T-cell co-stimulator ligand (ICOSL), hence becoming able to trigger TH2 and regulatory...
متن کاملDendritic Cells in Transplant Tolerance
Dendritic cells (DCs) are a heterogeneous family of professional APCs involved in priming adaptive immune responses. Donor DCs (direct pathway of allorecognition) and recipient DCs presenting processed donor major histocompatibility complex (MHC) as peptides (indirect pathway of allorecognition) participate actively in graft rejection by stimulating recipient T cell responses following organ tr...
متن کاملPlasmacytoid dendritic cells in HIV infection.
Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) are innate immune cells that are specialized to produce interferon-alpha (IFNα) and participate in activating adaptive immune responses. Although IFNα inhibits HIV-1 (HIV) replication in vitro, pDCs may act as inflammatory and immunosuppressive dendritic cells (DCs) rather than classical antigen-presenting cells during chronic HIV infection in vivo, contribut...
متن کاملHow HIV Sneaks aboard Mature Dendritic Cells
HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, has an extensive repertoire of tricks that it uses to evade, manipulate, and subvert the human immune system. Perhaps most insidious is the virus’s ability to turn the immune system’s defensive tactics to its own advantage. For example, HIV-1 (the virus that causes most cases of HIV infection) uses a type of immune cell, the dendritic cell (DC), to spread its in...
