Tumor-induced immune dysfunction: the macrophage connection.
Although macrophages (Mphis) mediate tumor cytotoxicity, display tumor-associated antigens, and stimulate antitumor lymphocytes, cancer cells routinely circumvent these host-mediated immune activities, rendering the host incapable of mounting a successful antitumor immune response. Evidence supporting a direct causal relationship between cancer and immune dysfunction suggests that the presence ...
متن کاملAltered macrophage differentiation and immune dysfunction in tumor development.
Tumors require a constant influx of myelomonocytic cells to support the angiogenesis and stroma remodeling needed for their growth. This is mediated by tumor-derived factors, which cause sustained myelopoiesis and the accumulation and functional differentiation of myelomonocytic cells, most of which are macrophages, at the tumor site. An important side effect of the accumulation and functional ...
متن کاملEnvironmental chemical-induced macrophage dysfunction.
Immunomodulation by environmental chemical contaminants and the role immune parameters play in toxicity and risk assessment studies is of increasing concern. Although considerable evidence has indicated that various xenobiotics may be immunosuppressive, little attention has been directed toward ascertaining a specific cellular locus which could be responsible for the impaired immune responsiven...
متن کاملSepsis-induced immune dysfunction: can immune therapies reduce mortality?
Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory response induced by an infection, leading to organ dysfunction and mortality. Historically, sepsis-induced organ dysfunction and lethality were attributed to the interplay between inflammatory and antiinflammatory responses. With advances in intensive care management and goal-directed interventions, early sepsis mortality has diminished, only to surge later aft...
متن کاملThe APC–tumor connection
Fewer phosphates but fatter axons xons are fattened by an unexpected neurofilament (NF) subunit, according to Garcia et al. (page 1011) and Rao et al. (page 1021), who find that more phosphorylation sites are not necessarily better when it comes to driving axon expansion. The radial growth-inducing subunit is one of three that make up NFs. The COOH-terminal tails of two of these subunits, NF-H ...
