Mechanisms of immune evasion by tumors.
In the past decade, basic studies in animal models have begun to elucidate the physiological barriers which impede a successful antitumor immune response. These barriers operate at a number of levels, and involve the tumor, the tumor microenvironment and various components of the innate and adaptive immune systems. In this review, we discuss the multiple mechanisms by which tumors evade an immu...
متن کاملMechanism of immune evasion in breast cancer
Breast cancer (BC) is the most common malignant tumor among women, with high morbidity and mortality. Its onset, development, metastasis, and prognosis vary among individuals due to the interactions between tumors and host immunity. Many diverse mechanisms have been associated with BC, with immune evasion being the most widely studied to date. Tumor cells can escape from the body's immune respo...
متن کاملCnidarian internal stinging mechanism.
Stinging mechanisms generally deliver venomous compounds to external targets. However, nematocysts, the microscopic stinging organelles that are common to all members of the phylum Cnidaria, occur and act in both external and internal tissue structures. This is the first report of such an internal piercing mechanism. This mechanism identifies prey items within the body cavity of the sea anemone...
متن کاملIron-induced parafibrin formation in tumors fosters immune evasion
Although efficacious in vitro, it is well known that adoptive immunotherapeutic modalities lose their potency when applied in vivo. Furthermore, malignant cell exposure to blood platelets attenuates the anticancer activity of natural killer (NK) cells. We argue that upon contact with redox iron, fibrinogen is converted to a hydrophobic fibrin-like polymer that coats tumor cells and provides pro...
متن کاملVirus Immune Evasion: New Mechanism and Implications in Disease Outcome
The artists of immune evasion in nature are viruses, as ancient as their organic counterparts, these infectious pseudoorganisms have coevolved coupling human and animal evolution during millions of years. Thus, virus replication is based on an efficient recruitment of cell functions through interactions between cellular and viral proteins. As consequence, during their long evolutionary race the...
