Apoptosis drives cancer cells proliferate and metastasize
Cancer has been considered to be the result of accumulated gene mutations, which result in uncontrolled cell proliferations for a long time. Cancers are also regarded to be capable of immune evasion. Furthermore, resistance to apoptosis was recognized as an important trait of cancer in the last score of years. However, there are numerous paradoxical issues in this whole set of theory. For examp...
متن کاملHLA-DR+ immature cells exhibit reduced antigen-presenting cell function but respond to CD40 stimulation.
Dendritic cells (DC) have been implicated in the defective function of the immune system during cancer progression. We have demonstrated that patients with cancer have fewer myeloid (CD11c+) and plasmacytoid (CD123(hi)) DC and a concurrent accumulation of CD11c(-)CD123- immature cells expressing HLA-DR (DR(+)IC). Notably, DR(+)IC from cancer patients have a reduced capacity to stimulate allogen...
متن کاملSignaling by lymphocyte function-associated antigen 1 (LFA-1) in B cells: enhanced antigen presentation after stimulation through LFA-1
To examine the role of lymphocyte function-associated antigen 1 (LFA-1) expression on murine B cells as it pertains to their function in T cell activation, we carried out antigen-presentation assays in tissue culture wells coated with a purified, secreted form of the murine intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1). We observed a significant decrease in the concentration of antigen required to...
متن کاملTLR9 signaling failure renders Peyer's patch regulatory B cells unresponsive to stimulation with CpG oligodeoxynucleotides.
Intestinal Peyer's patch (PP) regulatory CD21+ B cells (B(regs)) suppress TLR9-induced innate immune responses. However, it is not known whether TLR9 activation is regulated in PP B(regs). Here, we investigated the responses of PP B(regs) to stimulation with the TLR9 agonist CpG oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN). We observed that PP CD21+ B(regs) express high levels of TLR9 mRNA, but fail to prolifer...
متن کاملThe poised B cell: lymphokines induce an Ia-increase and antigen-presenting function in B cells.
Individual murine B cells express a wide range of Ia densities on the plasma membrane. Here we demonstrate that a dramatic increase in B-cell Ia could be induced by overnight exposure to an uncharacterized lymphokine (LK). Membrane I-A and I-E molecules were both increased after LK treatment, whereas membrane IgM remained unchanged. Two subpopulations of B cells were identified, based on their ...
