Differential Gene Expression in Thrombomodulin (TM; CD141)+ and TM− Dendritic Cell Subsets
Previously we have shown in a mouse model of bronchial asthma that thrombomodulin can convert immunogenic conventional dendritic cells into tolerogenic dendritic cells while inducing its own expression on their cell surface. Thrombomodulin(+) dendritic cells are tolerogenic while thrombomodulin(-) dendritic cells are pro-inflammatory and immunogenic. Here we hypothesized that thrombomodulin tre...
متن کاملTumor-infiltrating B cells
B cells infiltrating into solid tumors are poorly investigated despite their described positive prognostic value. Whether this antitumor potential comes from either the antigen presentation or the antibody production capacity of B cells, or both, is unknown. Our recently published method on tumor-infiltrating B lymphocyte cloning may prove helpful in unraveling the actual relevance of these cel...
متن کاملMelanoma-infiltrating dendritic cells
The infiltration of melanoma lesions by dendritic cells (DCs) has been suggested to play a tumorigenic role due to the capacity of DCs to induce tumor tolerance and promote angiogenesis as well as metastasis. However, it has also been shown that tumor-infiltrating DCs (TIDCs) induce antitumor responses and hence may be targeted in cost-effective therapeutic approaches to obtain patient-specific...
متن کاملThe Vitamin E Analog Gamma-Tocotrienol (GT3) and Statins Synergistically Up-Regulate Endothelial Thrombomodulin (TM)
Statins; a class of routinely prescribed cholesterol-lowering drugs; inhibit 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzymeA reductase (HMGCR) and strongly induce endothelial thrombomodulin (TM); which is known to have anti-inflammatory; anti-coagulation; anti-oxidant; and radioprotective properties. However; high-dose toxicity limits the clinical use of statins. The vitamin E family member gamma-tocotrie...
متن کاملTumor-infiltrating B cells and T cells
We recently reported a novel cooperative relationship between tumor-infiltrating B cells and CD8(+) T cells in ovarian cancer, leading to increased patient survival. Here, we discuss the mechanisms whereby B cells might enhance cellular immunity, including serving as antigen-presenting cells, organizing tertiary lymphoid structures and secreting polarizing cytokines. The enhancement of both B a...
